Marked for Death

7/12/2016

 
Picture
Here is a really interesting book by Geert Wilders that the library has up on the 4th floor (call number 305.697 Wilders). If you don't know who Geert Wilders is, you haven't been paying attention. Geert Wilders is marked for death in the same way that Salman Rushdie is marked for death, he dares to speak up about Islam and its war on Western civilization. Mr. Wilders is hated worldwide, he was even deported from the U.K. after arriving to give a talk at a private gathering in England, home of liberty and freedom (and the first nation to outlaw slavery). Everyone has the right to speak about anything he/she wants to, no one should be under threat of death for anything he says, or at least that's how we in the West approach speech. But just try that in any nation where Islam rules, or even just places where there are more than a few Muslims and you are likely to get your head chopped off on a public street like Theo van Gogh, great-great-grandnephew of Vincent van Gogh who was murdered for a film he produced on Islamic treatment of women.
The book opens with a foreword by Mark Steyn, author and occasional "undocumented anchor-baby" fill-in host for the Rush Limbaugh show who has been through his own version of hell with the Canadian courts for writing less than complimentary articles about Islam in Canada. Free speech? What's that?
