...new book - Marked for Death: Islam's War Against the West and Me, which has been released this month.

They say that the book "is nothing but a repetition of Mr. Wilders campaign of hate mongering against Islam in abusing his right of freedom of expression. Suffice it to say that his activities have been denounced and disavowed by the Dutch Government, Dutch Parliament, the European Parliament as well as the Council of Europe."

None of the European outlets of Amazon are stocking this book, so anyone who wants to read it will have to get it from other sources (like the U.S. branch of the online retailer).

Will you buy the book? It's available to purchase here (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1596987960/).

Very unfortunate. I have found it as a digital book and an audio book in a Dutch online store. It could prove an interesting read, but I don't like audio books and I'd prefer to have it on paper. I'll look for it later, and it amazes me that a book apparently worth lashing out at by muslims across the globe isn't available in a store that sells such bestsellers as 'Comparative Perspectives On Shari'Ah In Nigeria' and 'The Duties of Brotherhood in Islam' and has a separate section for Turkish and French (mostly spoken by Moroccans here) books. A description:

That website wrote:


Fanatics, terrorists, and appeasers have tried everything to silence Geert Wilders, Europe"s most controversial Member of Parliament—from putting him on trial to putting a price on his head. But Wilders refuses to be silenced—and one result is the book you have in your hands.

For years, from his native Netherlands, Wilders has sounded the alarm about the relentless spread of Islam in the West. And he has paid a steep personal price, enduring countless death threats and being forced into a permanent state of hiding.

Now, for the first time, Wilders offers a full account of his long battle against the zealots who have already slaughtered his countryman Theo van Gogh—whose killer also threatened to murder Wilders himself.

In Marked for Death, Wilders reveals:

How—and why—liberal politicians, including Barack Obama, downplay the Islamic threat
The systematic suppression of free speech through lawsuits, prosecutions, threats, and violence meted out against Islam"s critics
The untold story: how Islamic groups are redefining human rights to suppress non-Muslims everywhere
The true, bloody history of Islam"s spread throughout the world
How the West can defend itself against an existential enemy determined to conquer the globe

Expelled from Britain, banned from Indonesia, denounced by the UN Secretary General, prosecuted in court for his beliefs, forced into government safe houses, and constantly threatened with death, Geert Wilders is unbowed and unapologetic. Marked for Death is a stark warning about a growing threat to our liberties written by a man who has lost his freedom—and would not see the rest of us suffer the same fate.

It's not a campaign of hate mongering. By now, I think most people realise there's something wrong if you can't build something in your garden if it's not in line with the surrounding area, but the conservative Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates can easily order Europe's largest mosque, which - I've seen it too often - is a hideous structure, to be built right in the middle of a city. Although prohibited from doing so by the lovely European Union, the Dutch government has been trying to limit influx of poorly-educated (in reality, those are usually muslims) immigrants, but all it's given us was an implicit warning by the European Union and the UN refugee agency.

There's increasingly looking like only one thing for it then, doesn't there?

Leave the EU.
