Wilders on trial in Holland as Islam attacks in Brussels

In Hol­land Fri­day Geert Wilders is on trail for “Hate Speech” he made his open­ing state­ment to the court say­ing in part:

For more than eleven years, I have been liv­ing under death threats. Every day, I am reminded of this. Even today. This morn­ing, I was dri­ven here in a con­voy of armored cars, with sirens, flash­ing lights, and sur­rounded by body­guards. And not only today, but every day.

I will be brought home in the same way. Home is a safe-​house. My office is a shielded room. And when I have to stand in court, it is here, in a bunker at Schiphol.

For more than eleven years already, I have been pay­ing a heavy price. And I think that you as well as I know why. I am pay­ing that price for the same rea­son as why I am stand­ing in the dock for the sec­ond time. Because I dare to crit­i­cize Islam and men­tion the Moroc­can problem…

…Because the prob­lems of which I speak will not go away by keep­ing silent about them.

Silence is not an option.

Silence is cowardly.

Silence is betrayal.

If I, as the polit­i­cal leader of my party, dur­ing an elec­tion gath­er­ing of my party, am not allowed to say what has been writ­ten down in my party plat­form for a decade, then this is absolute mad­ness and then one has to con­vict me.

My opin­ions will not change. And one will not be able to silence me.

I have been deprived of my free­dom for over eleven years and the only free­dom I still have is my free­dom of speech. Nobody will be able to rob me of it.

Mr. Wilders is on trial for sound­ing the warn­ing against Rad­i­cal Islam, today in Brus­sels a louder warn­ing cry was apparent:

At least 31 peo­ple have been killed and many seri­ously injured in attacks at Brus­sels inter­na­tional air­port and a city metro sta­tion.
Twin blasts hit Zaven­tem air­port at 07:00 GMT, killing 11 and injur­ing 81, Belgium’s health min­is­ter said.
Another explo­sion struck Mael­beek metro sta­tion an hour later with 20 peo­ple killed, the Brus­sels mayor said.

If they had struck 24 hours ear­lier casu­alty count might have included US Offi­cials and sen­a­tors.

I trav­eled to Brus­sels on March 16, to attend the Ger­man Mar­shall Fund’s Brus­sels Forum, a meet­ing of U.S. and Euro­pean offi­cials, for­eign pol­icy experts and jour­nal­ists, where the fight against ter­ror­ism was at the top of the agenda. Two U.S. sen­a­tors and sev­eral Obama admin­is­tra­tion offi­cials who attended had just passed through the main ter­mi­nal of the Brus­sels air­port. On Tues­day morn­ing, it was hit by what Bel­gian author­i­ties described as a sui­cide attack. At least 26 were killed and many more wounded at the air­port, and in a par­al­lel attack on the city’s sub­way system.

It’s an event that hurts the nar­ra­tive of the left and the media

Already we see the hash­tag #stand­with­brus­sels, let me give those “bravely” tweet­ing that out a clue:

#isis & #islam doesn’t mind if you #Stand­With­Brus­sels seven days a week & twice on sun­day As long as you aren’t actu­ally fight­ing back #tcot

Oh and “mod­er­ate” Islam is play­ing the role of Spain in World War 2 in this fight. It was those same “mod­er­ate” mus­lims who kept silent when the mas­ter­mind of the Paris attacks hid among them for months. They must be made to choose sides, but more impor­tantly the elites and the left of Europe has to be made to choose sides in the war that exists between Rad­i­cal Islam and the West.

Will they decide to defend them­selves or will they con­tinue to pros­e­cute and per­se­cute those who would force them to face reality?

I regret to say I expect Pam Geller to be right:

After these mon­strous acts, world lead­ers pro­claim “we are at war” and do noth­ing. And my col­leagues and I con­tinue to be black­listed and mar­gin­al­ized, despite being right about it all.

The prob­lem with the “kill me last” plan is they even­tu­ally get around to killing you but I sus­pect the MSM will con­tinue to be in denial.
