‘Let them arrest me’: Dutch MP vows to defy Home Office ban and fly to Britain to show anti-Islam film<\/p>\n

A right-wing Dutch politician who has been banned from Britain said today he planned to defy the authorities and fly to the UK, stating ‘Let them put me in handcuffs’.<\/p>\n

Geert Wilders had been invited by the UK Independence Party (UKIP) peer Lord Pearson to show his anti-Islam film ‘Fitna’ and hold a Q&A session in Parliament tomorrow.<\/p>\n

The 17-minute documentary features verses from the Koran – which it brands a ‘fascist book’ – alongside images of the 9\/11 and 7\/7 terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n

It equates Islam’s holy text with violence and ends with a call to Muslims to remove its ‘hate-preaching’ verses.<\/p>\n

Under UK and EU immigration rules, a person can be refused entry to Britain ‘if his exclusion is justified on grounds of public policy, public security or public health’.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He is being denied entry on grounds of public policy, public security or public health. Wilders does not have a contagious disease. In fact, the letter<\/a> from the British Embassy cites a threat to community harmony as the reason; and, after all, the UK is replete with examples of community harmony<\/a> that one would not wish to threaten.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, Britain is sufficiently tolerant to allow this<\/a> misomaniac not only to\u00a0 live in the UK, but to use it as a base from which to spread his poisonous anti-Semitic vitriol:\"Add<\/p>\n

Riyadh ul Haq preaches contempt for non-Muslims<\/p>\n

A hardline Islamic movement, whose leading UK imam preaches anti-Semitism and calls on Muslims to “shed blood for Allah”, is controlling almost half of Britain’s mosques, a police report has found.<\/p>\n

The influence of the ultra-conservative Deobandi sect, which is characterised by its total rejection of western values, has grown to such an extent that police now believe it runs more than 600 of Britain’s 1,350 mosques.<\/p>\n

The revelations will put further scrutiny on plans for a “mega mosque” in east London by a group called Tablighi Jamaat, who are closely linked to the Deobandi movement.<\/p>\n

The \u00a3100 million plan to build the “Islamic village” next to the Olympic site is already mired in controversy after intelligence services said the group was a recruiting ground for al Qaeda.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What should the UK government do? Obviously, allow Wilders into the country and make the showing of Fitna in all of Britain’s Deobandi mosques a condition of Riyadh ul Haq’s remaining there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
