<p><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Geert Wilders is the leader of the Netherlands political party, Partij voor de Vrijheid, or PVV. Dutch public opinion polls show Wilders and the PVV in the lead position for any future Parliamentary election. The PVV is currently the leading Dutch party in the European Parliament. Mr Wilders took over his leader role following the assassinations of the previous two leading figures, Pim Fortuyn and Theo Van Gogh, in 2002 and 2004 respectively, so there is a possibility he will suffer the same fate.<br /><br />Geert Wilders was refused entry to the UK by the then Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, which decision was overturned on appeal by a UK court. In contrast, he was allowed into the United States, where he made the speech copied below. You may disagree with what he says, but the debate is first whether he should be allowed to say it in democracies that promote free speech.<br /><br />'In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: who lost Europe?'<br /><br /><object height="340" width="560"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NQOCcx5V9RI&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NQOCcx5V9RI&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br /><br /><object height="340" width="560"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/wdX1qpCtlh8&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wdX1qpCtlh8&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br /><br />Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom, the Netherlands, at the Four Seasons, New York, introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem.<br /><br /></span><p><span style="font-size:130%;"><em><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="color:#000099;">Source:-</span> </span></em><a href="http://www.africancrisis.co.za/Article.php?ID=63774&"><em><span style="font-family:arial;">[video]Geert Wilders: Warning to America</span></em></a></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;"></span> </p>
