Anti-Islam Politicians on Rise in Europe

Dutch voters go the polls on June 9th to elect a new government. The issue of immigration is playing high in the campaign, with the far-right 'Dutch Freedom Party' expected to finish in the top three. Its leader Geert Wilders has based his campaign on a strong anti-Islam ticket, calling for an end to Muslim immigration and for existing Muslim migrants to be paid to leave. Henry Ridgwell traveled to the Netherlands to find out whether the famously liberal Dutch society is taking a turn to the right. Here's his report from Amsterdam.

"the rise of anti-muslim sentiment is routed in recent history" Did anybody else laugh about that comment?

Someone forgot about the crusades! Does anyone remember or even know who Charles Martel, Richard the Lionheart, Vlad Tepes or John III Sobieski were and what they did to muslims? (and Im skipping many more) How about what the muslims did in europe and are trying to do again through immigration? Remember the battle of Vienna? The war is still on!

Go back to school multicultural idiots!
