Wilders is a notorious Dutch politician, an anti-Muslim bigot who has proposed banning the Quran and new mosques and imposing a tax on Muslim women who wear headscarves. He posted this photo but now its been deleted.

(2,686 posts)The humanoid aliens all had heads as big as Wilder. They looked weird to human eyes. As does Wilder. The biggest difference, of course: in the movie the aliens were basically good guys who meant well. I doubt Graham would hang out with a big headed Liberal. He's with Wilder to strengthen his hold on his -- my god, I hope -- diminishing "nationalistic" base.
(I don't know how to copy images here, so just google This Island Earth and "images" -- the resemblance is uncanny.)

If you want to regain your country, if you want to make the Netherlands for the people of the Netherlands, your own home again, than you can only vote [for the Freedom party], Wilders said. Please, make the Netherlands ours again.
The MP, who has also vowed to ban the Quran should he be voted into power, was convicted of discrimination in December over previous comments he made about Moroccans living in the Netherlands.
That dogma sure sounds familiar.......

During the Spanish Inquisition they welcomed Jews fleeing from Spain.
During WWII they were the only occupied country that held public protests over how Jews were being treated.
They were the first European country to legalize same-sex unions.
Wilders is trying to erase that spirit of tolerance. It breaks my heart.

(81,088 posts)He is planning a visit to Russia next year, to make clear that not everyone in the Netherlands averse to the Russians, Wilders said. "To show that there are also patriots here." According to him, the Netherlands can learn a lot from the Russians in terms of patriotism.
Wilders denounced politicians who, according to him, play political games by stirring up false enemy images. Last week Minister Kasja Ollongren of Home Affairs warned of attempts by Russia to influence public opinion in the Netherlands through fake news and internet trolls. According to Wilders he wants to counterbalance "the hysterical Russophobia that reigns here and there in the Netherlands".
