Geert Wilders: "Netherlands is Full"

Hat tip Vlad Tepes and Gates of Vienna. Translation by Fousesquawk. 

Dutch politician and leader of the Party for Freedom in the Netherlands, Geert Wilders, is an outspoken opponent of Islamic immigration into his country. For that reason, he has lived under tight security for more than 15 years due to threats on his life. He has also been prosecuted in his own country for alleged hate speech.

Wilders pulls no punches when it comes to Islam. He believes it is a violent ideology and poses a threat to the safety and freedoms of the Dutch people. He also makes the point that the country is full of migrants, asylum-seekers, and supposed refugees. The Dutch housing market also suffers from a severe shortage to the point that many Dutch families wait years for apartments. Yet, asylum-seekers go to the head of the list as soon as they arrive.

 In addition, there is the threat of terrorism, and violent crime is rampant. There is the notorious and violent Moroccan Mafia, whose leaders are now on trial for several murders and drug trafficking. The Turkish community is restive and becoming more militantly Islamic under the influence and meddling of Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. 

To make matters worse, the Jewish community in the country, who, historically, had found the Netherlands to be a place of refuge over the centuries, is now harassed by recent Muslim immigrants. 

The country not only has been a place of refuge for persecuted people over the centuries but due to its colonial past, also has long had a large foreign-born population mostly from Suriname and the Caribbean as well as Indonesia (a Muslim-majority country, no less). While that might have brought a certain increase in crime, it was nothing compared to what is happening now with more recent immigrants, predominantly from the Middle East, North Africa, and Afghanistan. 

So I would ask the reader to keep those things in mind while watching the below video. I am sure that Wilders is not referring to the traditional immigrant groups from the Caribbean and Indonesia which I listed above.

The video was posted in October 2021, but it is still as relevant today as it was then. The translation is by Fousesquawk.
