#1 This is where the road of tolerating the intolerant gets you. Hell.

#2 No this is what protecting the militant allenists get you. The Dutch Justice department is more worried about it's budget and protecting a terrorist allenist minority than it is on protecting regular Dutch citizens let alone politicians under terrorist threats. The Cops want to write tickets for speeding instead. If you get robbed or carjacked by a "north african youth" don't hold your breath waiting for the cops to show up. If your wife or daughter is raped by one forget it. The person who did it will never be caught. The police don't even look. There is important work that must be done! Writing speeding ticklets that make money for the state. These politicains are just getting the same treatment the regular Dutch citizen gets.

#3 I don't suppose the Dutch government ever thought of finding those who are making the threats.....

I think websters now has a pic to go along with their definition of Dhimmitude.

#4 I hope they find shelter in the US. People like that are welcome - and safe here. Opportunity abounds.

#5 I would like to see Hirsi Ali become a truly international political activist for prosecuting the mistreatment of women in Islam. She doesn't need to stay in the Netherlands (unless she wants to). Come to the US, Ms. Ali, and continue your trailblazing work from here. At least half of our population would lift a finger to protect you, unlike in the Netherlands, where no one can be seen challenging the authority of Muslim rule.

#6 The Cops want to write tickets for speeding instead.

Why bother with that? Take a cue from the Poms/Aussies, they just luuuuv their cameras.

#8 He no longer answers his own telephone, but the threats keeping showing up in his e-mail, in Internet chat rooms and Web logs. Offering some samples, he switched on his office computer and a short video appeared, featuring his photograph, the sound of gunfire over Arab music and a voice that said: "He is an enemy of Islam and should be beheaded."

"The people who threaten us are walking around free and we are the captives," said Wilders. "I understand it, but it is also difficult to grasp."

The government has told him that he will have to wait for a secure home until September.

Until then, he said, he presumably has to continue his Spartan life, sleeping in a cell at Camp Zeist, deprived of family and friends. The security detail schedules weekly private meetings with his wife.

The "liberal" Dutch may end up with an extra-judicial "group" dispatching Islamonuts unless the intrangisent parliament does something. I find it hard to believe Mr. Wilders has to hide out in a prison because it will take 6 months to find him a safe place. He must be a member of some opposition party. If I were some of his co-party members I would scream loud and do something like a filibuster and shut down the parliament in Amsterdam. They don't do much, and since they have given up so much soverignty to Brussels, it wouldn't be a loss.

#9 I find it hard to believe Mr. Wilders has to hide out in a prison because it will take 6 months to find him a safe place.

I suspect it is more likely that it is taking 6 months to find him a safe place as a warning to other politicians not to be so outspoken in theircomments about Muslims. This is Police enforced dhimmitude.

#10 Hiding from what? "Islam is peace" said GWB, the American Allah.

#11 BAR the Dutch invented the Speed Camera and have plenty of them. They still spend more time writing tickets then chasing criminals.
