If you look at some of the other countries – I’m really, really worried, and I think we don’t have the sense of urgency here – worried about some of these European countries. Do you realize that France is in a state of emergency since Nov. 13, 2015? Germany has closed some mosques. Radical right-wing groups in Europe are on the rise as they have never been. I have lived in Holland for 14 years. And when I came there was a very small, small radical right-wing group, and today it’s the second-largest party.This certainly sounds like a smear. The PVV, or Partij voor de Vrijheid, is a strongly nationalist, Eurosceptic party. It has no grand plans to do away with the welfare state or to persecute anyone. In fact the Parliamentary Documentation Center of Leiden University describes the PVV as “populist, with both conservative, liberal, right-wing and left-wing positions.” Does Ayaan Hirsi Ali really believe Geert Wilders is as great a threat to Western civilization as the Islamofascists are?
