Fortuyn's death had nothing to do with Wilders' cause or with Islam as a whole. The fact that you throw him in proves how easily people are confused about these issues.The real tragedy is that van Gogh is murdered. That Fortuyn is murdered. That Hirsi Ali was outcasted from the Netherlands.
These are the smart, authentic voices, both Dutch and immigrant, that I would have loved to hear. They're gone...
Wilders then, is what remains. Each country the politicians it deserves. You can keep Wilders though. A village idiot. Not even a proper extreme right politician, but an anti-Islamic fanatic maniac.
The bloody trouble is we are only alive when we’re half dead trying to get a paragraph right. - Paul Scott
