The British government, already de facto if not de jure in submission to the Moslem world, Thursday prevented the visit of a Dutch parliamentarian who has repeatedly risked his life to raise awareness of the direct link between the Islamic religion and global terrorism.
Geert Wilders, who challenges the politically-correct nonsense that calls Islam a religion of peace, was invited to London by a member of the House of Lords for the screening of his expose film 'Fitna.'
Wilders was welcomed recently in Israel where he attended a screening of Fitna in Jerusalem, at the invitation of an Israeli Knesset Member.
But fearful of the typical violent Muslim reaction to those who call Islam what it is, Britain's Home Office advised Wilders via Her Majesty's Ambassador in The Hague that he was persona non grata in the UK.
Wilders defied the ban, which he called "cowardly," and flew to London, where The Netherlands' ambassador was waiting to assist him.
He was stopped at Heathrow Airport, however, and sent back to Holland.
Britain's Home Office said in a statement that it "opposes extremism in all its forms" and would work to "stop those who want to spread extremism, hatred and violent messages in our communities from coming to our country."
Wilder's message - which the British are too fearful to hear - is a warning against the extremism that is intrinsic in Islam.
The religion, founded by a terrorist and practiced by terrorists the world over, already has a solid foothold in once-Christian, once-great Britain.
