Alyona takes on our hottest issue

Alyona and Glenn Beck have found something to agree on. The far right tendencies of Dutch parliament member and prime minister candidate Geert Wilders are scary. His views against Islam and claims that Western and Muslim cultures can not mix are a stark reminder of European fascism. Alyona interviewed Diana West, a supporter of Geert Wilders and his anti-Islamic views. The response to the interview has been significant and in some cases, purveys outright anger at Alyona for defending an open society and acceptance of all people. See a portion of the interview and Alyonas reaction to your comments here.

Alyona, hello , why dont you publish a cartoon of mohammad , and sign your name to it .

[magnusea]

@Doppelgangergang You say: "I believe we can all coexist with each other if we only stop and listen to each other."

...and Islam says "we" are the Muslims, and that other than Muslims should be oppressed by the Muslims. So this is an inheritently intolerant religion which has *nowhere* succeeded in the coexistence you believe we can achieve.

Political fascism is political fascism. Once we cruched the Nazism...

@magnusea you sir have not read the koran end have not met a single muslim

Can an ideology with a pedophile serial killer as 'the profet' be defined as a 'religion' ?

[homousios]

not freedom of religion but freedom from religion should be the goal and those muslims who are islamic take it too seriously

This Alyona is not a seriuos journalist. She is probably not a journalist at all, she just a bullshitter.

[desiguy55]

geert would be considered a lib if you look at the policies he supports. there is nothing right about thim. he supports all knida rights, gay, abortion, minority, drug use, and so on, he supports banning hate material like the evil books Mein khamph and the Koran.

Geert: You can't handle the truth! Bitch, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Islam and you curse me. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: that Islam's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives...

Alyona : Geert wilder are u a fascist? Tell me the truth

I just found this Liberal video (just days old). Here are just 2 of the good quotes: "Meantime, I really, really wish that people would reserve their ire for the people who don't just want to stop me from marrying but want to throw me off of a cliff!"

"The mental breakdown of the left ... We have this obsession w/Palestine, for instance. We have this one recently ... I saw GAYS FOR PALESTINE. Give me a break. If GAYS FOR PALESTINE were in Palestine they'd have to move to Israel!"

She's trying (trying) to pronounce Geert in Dutch--though no other US/UK speaker does, but totally butchers Wilders in English:

"Hairt Wilder"

Hair-t? Is that a Freudian Slip? An attempt at humor? Or an honest botching of Dutch?

Anyway, why not go full Dutch--er, Double Dutch if you will:

"Heert Vilders"
