Door onze redactie Politiek -Lees nu de toespraak van Geert Wilders die nooit is uitgesproken in het Britse Hogerhuis. Lord Pearson en Baroness Cox hebben wel gekeken naar de film ‘fitna’, maar om met Engelse media te spreken was de hoofdrolspeler afwezig. Maar lees nu toch de toespraak …

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much.

Thank you for inviting me. Thank you Lord Pearson and Lady Cox for showing Fitna, and for your gracious invitation. While others look away, you, seem to understand the true tradition of your country, and a flag that still stands for freedom.
This is no ordinary place. This is not just one of England’s tourist attractions. This is a sacred place. This is the mother of all Parliaments, and I am deeply humbled to speak before you.

The Houses of Parliament is where Winston Churchill stood firm, and warned – all throughout the 1930’s – for the dangers looming. Most of the time he stood alone.

In 1982 President Reagan came to the House of Commons, where he did a speech very few people liked. Reagan called upon the West to reject communism and defend freedom. He introduced a phrase: ‘evil empire’. Reagan’s speech stands out as a clarion call to preserve our liberties. I quote: If history teaches anything, it teaches self-delusion in the face of unpleasant facts is folly.

What Reagan meant is that you cannot run away from history, you cannot escape the dangers of ideologies that are out to destroy you. Denial is no option.

Communism was indeed left on the ash heap of history, just as Reagan predicted in his speech in the House of Commons. He lived to see the Berlin Wall coming down, just as Churchill witnessed the implosion of national-socialism.

Today, I come before you to warn of another great threat. It is called Islam. It poses as a religion, but its goals are very worldly: world domination, holy war, sharia law, the end of the separation of church and state, the end of democracy. It is not a religion, it is a political ideology. It demands your respect, but has no respect for you.

There might be moderate Muslims, but there is no moderate Islam. Islam will never change, because it is build on two rocks that are forever, two fundamental beliefs that will never change, and will never go away. First, there is Quran, Allah’s personal word, uncreated, forever, with orders that need to be fulfilled regardless of place or time. And second, there is al-insal al-kamil, the perfect man, Muhammad the role model, whose deeds are to be imitated by all Muslims. And since Muhammad was a warlord and a conqueror we know what to expect.

Islam means submission, so there cannot be any mistake about it’s goal. That’s a given. The question is whether the British people, with its glorious past, is longing for that submission.

We see Islam taking off in the West at an incredible speed. The United Kingdom has seen a rapid growth of the number of Muslims. Over the last ten years, the Muslim population has grown ten times as fast as the rest of society. This has put an enormous pressure on society. Thanks to British politicians who have forgotten about Winston Churchill, the English now have taken the path of least resistance. They give up. They give in.

Thank you very much for letting me into the country. I received a letter from the Secretary of State for the Home Department, kindly disinviting me. I would threaten community relations, and therefore public security in the UK, the letter stated.
For a moment I feared that I would be refused entrance. But I was confident the British government would never sacrifice free speech because of fear of Islam. Britannia rules the waves, and Islam will never rule Britain, so I was confident the Border Agency would let me through. And after all, you have invited stranger creatures than me. Two years ago the House of Commons welcomed Mahmoud Suliman Ahmed Abu Rideh, linked to Al Qaeda. He was invited to Westminster by Lord Ahmed, who met him at Regent’s Park mosque three weeks before. Mr. Rideh, suspected of being a money man for terror groups, was given a SECURITY sticker for his Parliamentary visit.

Well, if you let in this man, than an elected politician from a fellow EU country surely is welcome here too. By letting me speak today you show that Mr Churchill’s spirit is still very much alive. And you prove that the European Union truly is working; the free movement of persons is still one of the pillars of the European project.

But there is still much work to be done. Britain seems to have become a country ruled by fear. A country where civil servants cancel Christmas celebrations to please Muslims. A country where Sharia Courts are part of the legal system. A country where Islamic organizations asked to stop the commemoration of the Holocaust. A country where a primary school cancels a Christmas nativity play because it interfered with an Islamic festival. A country where a school removes the words Christmas and Easter from their calendar so as not to offend Muslims. A country where a teacher punishes two students for refusing to pray to Allah as part of their religious education class. A country where elected members of a town council are told not to eat during daylight hours in town hall meetings during the Ramadan. A country that excels in its hatred of Israel, still the only democracy in the Middle-East. A country whose capitol is becoming ‘Londonistan’.

I would not qualify myself as a free man. Four and a half years ago I lost my freedom. I am under guard permanently, courtesy to those who prefer violence to debate. But for the leftist fan club of islam, that is not enough. They started a legal procedure against me. Three weeks ago the Amsterdam Court of Appeal ordered my criminal prosecution for making ‘Fitna’ and for my views on Islam. I committed what George Orwell called a ‘thought crime’.

You might have seen my name on Fitna’s credit role, but I am not really responsible for that movie. It was made for me. It was actually produced by Muslim extremists, the Quran and Islam itself. If Fitna is considered ‘hate speech’, then how would the Court qualify the Quran, with all it’s calls for violence, and hatred against women and Jews?
Mr. Churchill himself compared the Quran to Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf. Well, I did exactly the same, and that is what they are prosecuting me for.

I wonder if the UK ever put Mr. Churchill on trial.

The Court’s decision and the letter I received form the Secretary of State for the Home Department are two major victories for all those who detest freedom of speech. They are doing Islam’s dirty work. Sharia by proxy. The differences between Saudi-Arabia and Jordan on one hand and Holland and Britain are blurring. Europe is now on the fast track of becoming Eurabia. That is apparently the price we have to pay for the project of mass immigration, and the multicultural project.

Ladies and gentlemen, the dearest of our many freedoms is under attack. In Europe, freedom of speech is no longer a given. What we once considered a natural component of our existence is now something we again have to fight for. That is what is at stake. Whether or not I end up in jail is not the most pressing issue. The question is: Will free speech be put behind bars?

We have to defend freedom of speech.

For the generation of my parents the word ‘London’ is synonymous with hope and freedom. When my country was occupied by the national-socialists the BBC offered a daily glimpse of hope, in the darkness of Nazi tyranny. Millions of my country men listened to it, illegally. The words ‘This Is London’ were a symbol for a better world coming soon. If only the British and Canadian and American soldiers were here.

What will be transmitted forty years from now? Will it still be ‘This Is London’? Or will it be ‘this is Londonistan’? Will it bring us hope, or will it signal the values of Mecca and Medina? Will Britain offer submission or perseverance? Freedom or slavery?

The choice is ours.

Ladies and gentlemen,

We will never apologize for being free. We will never give in. We will never surrender.

Freedom must prevail, and freedom will prevail.

Thank you very much.

Dames en heren, hartelijk dank.

Hartelijk dank voor uw uitnodiging. Dank aan Lord Pearson en Baroness Cox voor de hartelijke uitnodiging. Waar anderen de andere kant op kijken u blijkt de werkelijke traditie van uw land te begrijpen. En een vlag dat nog steeds voor vrijheid staat. Dit is niet zomaar een plaats. Dit is niet zomaar een toeristische attractie. Het is een heilige plaats, de moeder van alle parlementen, en ik ben vereerd om voor u te spreken.

Het Britse Parlement is waar Winston Churchill stond voor zijn zaak en waarschuwde, tijdens alle 30-er jaren, voor het gevaar wat op de loer lag. De meeste tijd stond hij alleen.

In 1982 kwam President Reagan naar het Lagerhuis, waar hij een toespraak hield die weinig mensen beviel. Reagan riep het Westen op het communisme af te zweren en vrijheid te verdedigen. Hij introduceerde de zin: ‘schurkenstaat’. Reagan’s toespraak staat duidelijk als een oproep om onze vrijheden te beschermen. Ik citeer: “If history teaches anything, it teaches self-delusion in the face of unpleasant facts is folly.”

Wat Reagan bedoelde is dat je niet weg kan rennen vande geschiedenis, je kan niet ontsnappen van de gevaren van ideologieen die uit zijn om je te vernietigen. Ontkenning is geen optie.

Communisme was achtergelaten op de vuilisbelt van de geschiedenis, zoals Reagan voorspelde in zijn toespraak voor het Lagerhuis. Hij maakte mee dat de Berlijnse muur neerging, zoals Churchill de vernietiging van het national-socialisme zag.

Vandaag, kom ik voor u om u te waarschuwen voor een ander gevaar. Men noemt het Islam. Het doet zich voor als een religie, maar zijn doelen zijn wereldlijk: wereld overheersing, heilige oorlog, sharia wetten, het eind van scheiding tussen kerk en staat, het eind van democratie. Het is niet een religie, maar een politieke ideologie. Het eist uw respect, maar heeft gesprek voor u.

Er zijn wellicht gematigde moslims, maar er is geen gematigde Islam. De Islam zal nooit veranderen, omdat het gebouwd is op twee peilers die altijd bestaan, twee fundamentele gedachten die nooit veranderen en nooit weggaan. Ten eerste, daar is de Koran, Allah’s persoonlijke woord, voor altijd, met opdrachten die moeten worden vervuld los van de plaats of tijd. Ten tweede is er al-insal al-kamil, de perfecte man. Mohammad het rolmodel, wiens daden moeten worden overgedaan door alle Moslims. Omdat Mohammed een veroveraar was wisten we wat we konden verwachten.

Islam betekent onderwerping, dus er kan geen twijfel zijn over het doel. Dat is een gegeven. De vraag is of het Britse volk, met zijn glorieus verleden, verlangt naar deze onderwerping.

We zien dat de islam doorzet in het Westen met een ongelooflijke snelheid. Het Verenigd Koninkrijk heeft een snelle groei van het aantal moslims. In de afgelopen tien jaar, de moslim-bevolking is tien keer zo snel gegroeid als de rest van de samenleving. Dit geeft een enorme druk op de samenleving. Dankzij de Britse politici die Winston Churchill vergeten zijn, hebben de Engelsen nu de weg van de minste weerstand gekozen. Zij geven op. Ze geven toe.

Hartelijk dank om mij het land in te laten. Ik heb een brief ontvangen van de Minister van Binnenlandse Zaken die me ‘vriendelijk’ weigerde. Ik zou en gevaar vormen voor de gemeenschapsrelaties en daarmee voor de veiligheid van het Britse publiek.

For a moment I feared that I would be refused entrance. But I was confident the British government would never sacrifice free speech because of fear of Islam. Britannia rules the waves, and Islam will never rule Britain, so I was confident the Border Agency would let me through. And after all, you have invited stranger creatures than me. Two years ago the House of Commons welcomed Mahmoud Suliman Ahmed Abu Rideh, linked to Al Qaeda. He was invited to Westminster by Lord Ahmed, who met him at Regent’s Park mosque three weeks before. Mr. Rideh, suspected of being a money man for terror groups, was given a SECURITY sticker for his Parliamentary visit.

I wonder if the UK ever put Mr. Churchill on trial.

We have to defend freedom of speech.

De keuze is aan ons,

Dames en Heren,

We gaan nooit verontschuldigingen aanbieden voor onze vrijheid. We geven nooit toe. We geven ons nooit over. surrender.

Vrijheid moet overheersen en zal overheersen.

Hartelijk bedankt.
