From here:
The presence of Muslims in Canada threatens the country’s freedoms and democracy, and only if immigration from Islamic countries is suspended can the cultural deterioration of the country be stopped, controversial Dutch politician Geert Wilders told a packed house Monday night in Toronto.
“Our Western culture is far superior to Islamic culture,” Mr. Wilders said. “And only once we are convinced of this will we be able to defend our civilization.”
There was a protest populated by 10 people who called Wilders a racist – an epithet derived, presumably, from the misunderstanding that being a Muslim is an involuntary racial condition.
I have little doubt that Western culture is superior to Islamic culture and I hope that Canadian Muslims also have little doubt of that. Geert Wilders would probably say of them that they are not real Muslims and he may well be right – that is not such a bad thing. For those Muslims who remain unconvinced, Wilders also may be right: if they prefer an Islamic culture, they should opt to live in one.
