Wilders botched it big time after all. Praise Allah!
'The commotion around Wilders' movie Fitna did not lead to an increase in extremist incidents. In fact, it has prompted many Christian and Moslem organization to seek better contact with each other', said the Dutch National Coordinator of Fight Against Terrorism in his statement.
The peroxide blond politician tried to garner as much press attention as he only could copying some of his friend Ayaan Hirsi Ali's best performing tricks: making an MTV-style (lots of provocative imagery, no substance) anti-Moslem video was one of them.
It was meant to propel Wilders into the first ranks of Dutch political world, which is becoming increasingly dependent on 'spin' tactics. The trick did work - but just for a short while. The video turned out so lame and the timing was so wrong that apart from uniting both Christian and Moslem organizations against Wilders, it only succeeded in making him one of the most hated personalities in The Netherlands, earning him epithets like "despicable provocateur" and "extremist".
Hatred-mongers like him are solely responsible for the fact that there are now around 200,000 people in 8,5-million-strong Dutch workforce busy "fighting terrorism". A staunch Roman Catholic, Wilders is a frequent traveller to Israel where he claims to have made friends with Ariel Sharon and Ehud Almert. His credo pattern, atypically pro-Israel for a Dutch politician, bears striking similarities to the beliefs of the British interwar leaders who made a series of disastrous decisions in the British Mandate of Palestine influenced by their Bible-based Christian upbringing - leaving the world to deal with now 70 years of bloody ethnic violence. History lessons are never learnt because no one learns history.
