Truth-Telling Via Geert Wilders

The bravest man in Europe and the great defender of freedom, Geert Wilders, has spoken out in defense of Israel. Wilders must be number one on the Muslim hit list, just as Glenn Beck, the great truth-teller in America, is number one on the Left's hit list. Hope these men are both being closely guarded because I can't think of anyone angrier than an Islamist or a radical leftist, unless of course, it's a radical leftist Muslim.

Wilders exposes some truths about the Palestinians and the nation of Jordan, via the American Thinker:

Geert Wilders and King Hussein agree that location is everything
Camie Davis

"Whenever Geert Wilders is ready to write his memoir, I've got the perfect title: A Bold Fresh Piece of Humanity on Steroids. As if we needed another reason to love the refreshingly bold Wilders, he gives the sane, logical, knowing-right-from-wrong crowd another huge one. Hitting a grand slam out of the tell-it-like-it-is park, Wilders declared, 'Jordan is Palestine.'

Wilders, who leads the right-wing political party in Holland, said he believed Jordan's name should be changed to Palestine. He stated, 'There has been an independent Palestinian state since 1946, and it is the kingdom of Jordan. Changing its name to Palestine will end the conflict in the Middle East and provide the Palestinians with an alternate homeland.' Brilliant! Place the problem child right back in the lap of the nation who threw it under the bus.

Just in case that wasn't enough to rile the Arab world, Wilders also said, 'If Jerusalem falls into the hands of the Muslims, Athens and Rome will be next. Thus, Jerusalem is the main front protecting the West. It is not a conflict over territory but rather an ideological battle, between the mentality of the liberated West and the ideology of Islamic barbarism.'

On a roll, Wilders also called on the Dutch government to refer to Jordan as Palestine and to move its embassy to Jerusalem.

As you probably guessed, Arab leaders were a bit miffed at Wilders and 'summoned' him to give an explanation. Jordan's minister for media affairs and communications, Nabil Al Sharif, asked for clarification.

Well Mr. Sharif, since Wilders is busy fighting the Islamization of his country, I've got a better idea. Ask your own king to explain. Wilders is simply letting out the genie that revisionist historians and politicians have tried to keep bottled. Jordanians, for decades, were avid proponents of the 'Jordan is Palestine' position. They used that position as justification for the annexation of the West Bank, arguing that Palestine was one single, indivisible unit, and that Jordan was the legitimate governing body of Palestine. Your government, Mr. Sharif, including your king's father and grandfather, espoused the 'Jordan is Palestine' claim that you are now so enraged by:

'We are the government of Palestine, the army of Palestine and the refugees of Palestine.' Prime Minister of Jordan, Hazza' al-Majali, 23 August 1959

'Palestine and Transjordan are one.' King Abdullah, Arab League meeting in Cairo, 12 April 1948

'Palestine is Jordan and Jordan is Palestine; there is one people and one land, with one history and one and the same fate.' Prince Hassan, brother of King Hussein, addressing the Jordanian National Assembly, 2 February 1970

'Jordan is not just another Arab state with regard to Palestine, but rather, Jordan is Palestine and Palestine is Jordan in terms of territory, national identity, sufferings, hopes and aspirations.' Jordanian Minister of Agriculture, 24 September 1980

'The truth is that Jordan is Palestine and Palestine is Jordan.' King Hussein 1981

Thank you, Geert Wilders, for echoing voices from the past and reminding us what revisionists want us to forget. The entire farce of the Palestinian cause is literally a house built on Hashemite sand. If only your words would commence the crumbling."

Just what would you do about these honor killings, Ms. MoreLies? I for one don't deny that they happen, although I don't think it's any sort of epidemic. It's barbaric, but it's NOT the standard throughout the Muslim world. And the few that engage in honor killings (what an oxymoron!) here in America usually get the book thrown at them. So what else is there to do about it?

A few post-partum depressed moms kill their kids, too, and they're prosecuted. Sad but true, people kill people. Parents kill kids, and kids kill parents. We've got a system to prosecute the wrongdoers when they do it.

Are you somehow suggesting that this is a backdoorway for you and your kind to get rid of Islam on the whole, because of the actions of an extreme minority? I hope not, because that's too extreme.

What I would like to see is for our media to be honest and admit that these murders are done in the name of Islam. I want truth exposed about the horrific teachings coming out of the koran. Instead, we hear excuse after excuse.

leftwingloon logic:

honor killings = acceptable (there’s only a few, no big deal)

waterboarding to save American lives = unacceptable (not even once)

Riiiiiiiiight!

They don't have laws to prosecute these Islamic murders throughout the Muslim world, diogenASS, so how does the victim get justice?

Not from the liberals or the feminist, thats for damn sure!

First off, sorry for the misdirected common... obviously, this addressed the honor killing post.

No, AnonyMouse, I never once said or thought that honor killings are "acceptable", with or without the small number of incidents. What happens to the killers in foreign countries is, pardon the expression, none of our damned business. We're not responsible for what other countries do or don't do about them. We're responsible for ourselves.

And it's because we are responsible for ourselves that your specious comparison to waterboarding fails. Waterboarding by American government officials IS something within our control, and it clearly flies in the face of everything America has stood for for more than 200 years. Honor killings by individuals in other countries is beyond our control. Honor killings within America are within our control, and we try those people as the murderers they are. Have you seen a court anywhere in America that has ruled that an hnor killing is excused under the law, because it conforms with Islamic law? No, you haven't.

As for what our media chooses to expose (or ignore) they make some pretty convoluted choices, I'll agree. I think part of their problem is that,in many cases, very very few of the perpetrators claim it's an honor killing; they remain silent. And -- with the exception of your divinely-derived powers of perception, Ms. MoreLies -- it's tough to actually determine what goes on in someone else's head.

Buut when you SAY things like "I want truth exposed about the horrific teachings coming out of the koran" it does make it easier to determine your personal motivation, Ms. MoreLies: you want Islam eradicated from the face of the earth. While you're entitled to want what you want, don't expect anybody else to help you on this crusade of yours. Most of us think religion is a personal choice, and that it's not really our job to impose our own personal choice on someone else.

It's called "tolerance", Ms. MoreLies. Not tolerance of honor killings, but tolerance of religion.
