Shayna ,   London   (02.12.09)
to all you total fools that is saying the uk has gone all muslim, you read an article and hit the roof? its never as black and white as that. what nonsense. have you ever seen the uk parliament? of the guys who make immigration government decisions? they are all anglo saxon pompous. the foreign secretary is a well know jewish man, with many other jewish peers in power. there is like one muslim guy in the parliament and your all shouting down with the uk, calm down. the uk has banned carribbean rappers who were homophobic, those slating judasim or christianity. something else is up here, i really dont think that some white english guy in the british gov makes a decision based on worrying what muslims think..
93. Mossad?????
Bandar (Hezbollah) ,   Beirut, Lebanon   (02.12.09)
Man, you have a lousy sense of humor. You are threatning me with the Mossad? Let the Mossad come over accompanied by their big brother the 'Golani Brigade'. We will be waiting for them with pleasure.
94. Good documentary. But insulting Islam itself wrong
Liliane ,   Brighton, UK   (02.13.09)
It is an excellent documentary. But insulting Islam itself is wrong.
95. Britain allows Islamic terrorists, holocaust deniers and ant
Sami ,   London, UK   (02.13.09)

98. # 93: You are PATHETIC
Akram ,   Paris / Beirut   (02.13.09)
Do you know other than the words of "kill" and "death" and "Jihad" and "Hezbollah"? In these times, the power is to the brain (something you don't have) NOT to physical power. Was it physical, then a "mule" with one hit can send you straight to hell? Can you stand a kick by a "mule"? Of course not, so what are you bullying about? What a jerk!
99. to 27
sarah ,   uk   (02.13.09)
Nobody will ask Muslims the obvious question in Britain, Do you believe and try to fulfil the jihadist message of the Koran? This sort of question is not asked openly because it might upset 'community harmony'. the answer is fear of truth
100. #78 Did you infer the Holocaust was 'hearsay"?
Australian Guy   (02.13.09)
Dont EVER call someone else a 'dummy' unless you're looking in the mirror. Plain stupid.
101. #88 "bandar"
Scott   (02.13.09)
Just because someone does not sign their comments off with a 'name' does not indicate they are "cowards". Also, it has escaped your attention that the IDF's recent 'visit' to Gaza has 'served notice' not only on those rats but also turds like yourself. So I'd keep up your training sweetheart. .you and the other girls will need it.
102. #75 You are a brainwashed ignorant fool
Delta ,   Beirut   (02.13.09)
"You have an easy name to remember, we will make a note of your opinion." What are you going to do about it??? I dare you to come to Ashrafieh and show us how tough you and your coward Nasrallah are.
103. #17, you're right: give Irving and Williamson a platform
Jake   (02.13.09)
In the end, you can choose what you want to believe...The pathetic ridiculous lies that the Holocaust never happened, when there is a torrent of information to the contrary. Or the truths that Mr. Wilders has laid bare based on real events, real footage, and real quotes in the Koran. Mr. English guy, I believe the rationality of your tirade is summed up in your reference to "that Xenophobic blond Dutchguy". You remind me of Michael Caine's character in 'Austin Powers-Goldmember', who said , "There are two kinds of people I cannot abide: Those who are intolerant of other peoples' cultures, and the Dutch."
104. re #34 divine justice
bari dahan ,   new york usa   (02.13.09)
amen dani - britain's governance of the palestinian mandate and their support of the arabs created this mess and now they have the mess in their own country. couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.
105. #16 British cowards
Madeleine ,   Israel   (02.13.09)
Then why don't the British - the 'real' British (dare I say that? Will I be prosecuted?) - stand up for what they believe? Why do these Moslems get special protection? why is it OK to insult Jews, who at most might have protested to some authority or other and possibly elicited an apology, but heaven forbid even one little feather of a Moslem should be ruffled? I left Britain 40 years ago to live in Israel and I left a country that was Christian in nature and proud of it, where we Jews lived our lives and followed our religion, unmolested, and never demanded anything of the state other than to be left alone to do so. Immigrants, of any race, creed or colour, integrated into British, christian-oriented society while maintaining their own ethnic character. Just where and when did this fear of insulting Islam start? Britain seems to be the worst offender in the whole of Eurabia.
106. #17 Freedom of speech
Madeleine ,   Israel   (02.13.09)
Wrong. British officialdom is just too, too afraid of offending your odious Moslem population. He did not come here to cause trouble but came at the invitation of a member of the House of Lords, Lord Pearson.
107. #17, by that logic then
Danny   (02.13.09)
Israel should be keeping out most of the press and "activists" - and their actions directly cost Israeli lives as opposed to just hurting some people's feelings.
108. Bandar the persian slave
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (02.13.09)
Bandar ! start looking for a new master,your present persian master will drop you, as soon as they work out some deal with he the USA.Is there an unemployment insurance in Lebanon for out of work terrorists ?
109. To those who can't see!!!
Ahmed ,   Egypt   (02.13.09)
We (muslims) are on the wrong way, we simply cannot see, because someone had seen for us some 14 centuries ago. I say to those who can't even read an arab word, WILDERS has nothing to do with fitna,we have>
110. Re: 88. #80 Coward with no name.
Psalms 83 ,   Selah   (02.13.09)
altough Iam not who you are aiming at I notice it is an unabashed policy of Hamas & Hezbollah to place civilians at risk ...human shields if you will... Real cowards in my book and you claim to be associated with them.... Bandar (Hezbollah) , Beirut, Lebanon
111.  Re # 93: You are PATHETIC
Psalms 83 ,   Selah   (02.13.09)
your right.... Love your nieghbor is not a part of Hezboolahs vocabulary....only hate and bitterness ...the poison that destroys peace instead of building trust that brings peace.
112. #40 the answer is YES!
secede Texas & Okla. ,   from socialist USA!   (02.13.09)
It is well documented that the PLO perpetrated a supprise attack on the Lebanese Christians and drew first blood. What happened at Sabra and Shatilla were a direct result of that. The Crusades were a result of 350 years of Muslim aggression against established, soveriegn countries that just also happened to be Christian. Once again, it is you who drew first blood.
113. What is known as a "twofer"
Gideon Reader   (02.13.09)
Two sad states. A nation's shame and it's stupidity. No longer "great" is a given. Now well below mediocrity; striving for base at a dizzying speed. At least(for now) Ronnie Scott's on Frith is still viable.
114. What would Churchill say?
Matt C ,   Canada   (02.13.09)
Churchill was a major defender of free speech at a time when some tried to silence him. Thanks to his bravery, Britain finally stood up during WW2. He was also a critic of Islam (which he called Mohammedanism). He accused it of causing a "fanatical frenzy", of causing "fatalistic apathy" that ruins the economies of Islamic countries and said that because of the treatment of women and children in Islamic society that we "must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men". Churchill even compared the Koran to Mein Kampf: "Here was the new Koran of faith and war: turgid, verbose, shapeless, but pregnant with its message." - Winston Churchill (equating “Mein Kampf” to the Koran in his book the “The Gathering Storm”) I wonder, would Churchill be considered a threat by the UK government today? Would they allow him to say these things in modern Britain? Would they allow him to gain high political station after saying these things? If not, then Britain is certainly not the great country it once was.
115. Poor Decision
John ,   London   (02.13.09)
Wilders is an idiot with simplistic views. But I'm not sure that he incites racial or religious hatred/violence. Let him come to the UK and be laughed at for the fool he is like all other extremists. Banning him makes a hero out of a paltroon.
116. To KO #59. Start Praying To God, the Supreme Lord.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (02.13.09)
You say :”.. we (in the UK) are suffering the consequences of turning our back on the God of the Bible.” YES, you are right. UNTIL you (and the rest of UK) start praying to God, the Supreme Lord, you will CONTINUE to suffer, and thus FEAR will remain inside your heart. IF you won’t do that (i.e. praying to God, the Supreme Lord) -- the islamist jihadis will force you to become a Muslim. You will be trained to say ‘Allah hu Akbar’ while chopping the head of an infidel. To say those words (i.e. Allah hu Akbar) while beheading an infidel -- is the greatest STUPIDITY introduced in the Islam religion. By introducing that stupidity the islamist jihadis have revealed -- the BACKWARDNESS of Islam religion, the BARBARIC nature of Islam religion.
117. to Bandar.......
meg ,   ISRAEL   (02.13.09)
with every word you have posted here you have proved Geert Wilders point!
118. 88# We'll see about that
Avi ,   Israel   (02.13.09)
Next lebanon war we aint going to be pussies like the last one, you can learn from Gaza. I suggest you to build yourself a nice underground bunker like Nassralla. You filthy mobster who bring Naqba upon lebanese thinking you're defending them.
119. How long is Israels list
max ,   vienna   (02.13.09)
of people who claim their right of free speech and being refused entry?? And usually they are not sent back "within an hour" but detained, questioned and harrassed? Looong, indeed, very looong......
120. #17 English Guy
Marty ,   USA   (02.13.09)
Wow, what utter rubbish. Have you Brits ever actually read the Q'uran. Thank God for the First Amendment to the US Constitution. In the US, we learned long ago that there is a clear difference between saying "The Holocaust never happened" and saying "Let's all go gas the Jews." The first is entitled to protection under the First Amendment, the second statement is not. Wilders' position is that the Q'uran is a book filled with hatred toward Christians and Jews and preaches the supremacy of Islamic hegemony. He is correct. He says that It is a book which preaches a 7th century legal system which prescribes barbaric penalties from severing limbs to beheading for various crimes. He is correct. He says that it treats women as chattels . He is right. Everyone in the world with two eyes and half a brain (which apparently leaves English Guy out) can see that it forms the basis for death cults from Hamas to Al Quaeda. The reality is that Britain is afraid to let him in, not because he will incite people to attack Muslims, but because they fear that the proponents of the "Religion of Peace" would riot and threaten public safety. That said, Britain has chosen to jettison the liberty of its citizens out of fear of mob rule. How depressing for the country that gave us the Magna Carta. Where does it stop, English Guy? With Orwell's thought police? You are doomed.
