Geert Wilders New Dutch Film

March 7, 2008 · Filed Under Political 

Just a brief off-topic post to allow me to express how thoroughly disgusted I am at the release of such a racist film in this country.

I think I am joined by the vast majority of Dutch people in my feelings, and probably most people elsewhere in the world too.  I would like to offer my personal apology to any Muslim or other person offended by this film.  A film like this doesn’t have any place in a civilized society.

A country that directly elects it’s members of parliament with a popular vote can inevitably see someone get elected from the political fringes with only a small number of votes, and that’s what’s happened here.  The only way a person like this has a chance of advancing themselves politically is by drawing attention to themselves in this kind of way.

The best way to deal with a person like this is publicly state your polite and firm disagreement, but otherwise ignore him.  I would urge everyone not to give this person any unnecessary attention.
