This video is interesting. This interview (click below) went out in the States, and the first thing Geert Wilders – maker of Fitna and banned from showing it at the invitation of British legislators – says is that the USA thinks more of free speech than the UK does.
Given what happened here, he has a point.
British politicians – usually third-rate politically correct careerists worried only about their votes, and therefore their cushy livelihoods and huge expenses packages – don’t want us to hear what Wilders has to say about encroaching Islam.
Watch the video, in which Wilders calls for a stop to immigration into Europe from Muslim countries.
I would make an exception for those fleeing persecution, torture and murder in such countries for being gay, and you can see a disturbing video on that subject here, as it concerns supposedly democratic Iraq. But, generally speaking, I’ll second that. And, while we're at it, let's get rid of the imams, too.
gay and lesbian matters, rationalism, atheism, freethought, secularism — this is the weblog of the Pink Triangle Trust, the only gay humanist charity

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.
We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.
Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.
Comments should not be construed as necessarily the policy or opinion of the Pink Triangle Trust.

The big drawback with this interview is that Wlders does not make it clear enough that the main point of his film was to show that some of the texts from the Koran are violently anti-Christian, anti-Jewish and anti-unbelief (see also the Sceptic's Annotated Quoran website) and that these are what incite violence.
