Geert Wilders, the Dutch MP who frequently warns about the dangers of Islamic radicalism, has applied for a visa to visit and give speeches in Australia, but the application has stalled.
http://www.expatica.com/nl/news/dutch-news/Wilders-waits-for-Australian-visa_244551.html
The official reason for the delay is that Wilders is on the Movement
Alert List, a database of people of security concern to the Australian
government. It means that his application is being held up at the
Department of Immigration headquarters in Canberra while more thorough
security checks are done.
But the real reason for the delay is that the high priests of
Australian multiculturalism want to silence Wilders' warnings about the
tragic failure of multiculturalism in Europe.
Some Australian politicians have effectively admitted that the visa
imbroglio is all about politics and has nothing to do with security.
According to Senator Richard Di Natale, a member of the far-left Greens Party, Wilders is not welcome in Australia.
"We don't want to see Geert Wilders in this country. His views are
not welcome here," Di Natale told the Australian Broadcasting
Corporation. "This country's got a great story when it comes to
multiculturalism, it's part of my own personal story, it's something we
should all be proud of and here we've got a man who is the antithesis of
multiculturalism."
A recent study titled "Secret Saudi Funding of Radical Islamic Groups in Australia"
found that Saudi Arabia is spending billions of dollars to promote
radical Islam in the country, including through the construction of
mosques, schools and Islamic cultural centers. A key Saudi objective is
to prevent Muslim immigrants from integrating into Australian society in
order to promote the establishment of a parallel Muslim society in the
country.
As if to underscore the politically correct calculations delaying
Wilders' visa application, the governing Australian Labour Party swiftly approved a visa for Taji Mustafa,
the British head of the Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir, a group
notorious for religious intolerance, disdain for Western values and
sympathy for jihad.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard said she would not be revoking Mustafa's
visa and that Hizb ut-Tahrir was not on the government's list of
proscribed terrorist groups.
Wilders had been planning to visit Sydney and Melbourne from October
12 to 21. Although he applied for a visa in late August, the Australian
authorities have still not granted him a visa, and his supporters now
fear he may be refused entry into the country.
His speaking tour of Australia is being organized by a group called the Q Society, a national grassroots organization dedicated to raising awareness about the rise of Islamic Sharia law in Australia.
Q Society Spokesman Andrew Horwood says the organization involves
"ordinary Australians who are concerned about the march of Islam into
this country. We are non-political, we are a secular organization, and
we've seen what's happened in Europe and we're concerned about that. Our
charter is to educate the Australian population about what Australia
will be like in 20 or 30 years' time with Islam if we choose not to
understand it."
The Q Society wants to know why Wilders' staff and security detail
had their visas approved within days, but Wilders' application is still
pending.
Says Horwood: "We find it very strange that a visa is taking so long
to come from a politician of a respected democracy. It should be an
automatic thing. He's coming here to give the advantage of his
knowledge, the advantage of what's happening in Europe, and I cannot see
why it's not an automatic thing: 'yes, you're welcome here.' I cannot
understand why everything has just ground to a halt."
If his visa is approved, Wilders will tell Australians that they will
see the erosion of their cultural values, including freedom of speech,
if they continue to follow multicultural policies that are allowing the
Islamization of the country.
"Multiculturalism, I'm afraid, has been a disaster, but only because
it is being used as a tool to promote Islam," Wilders recently said.
Muslim immigration to Australia has skyrocketed over the past 15
years. According to the 2011 census, there were 476,300 Muslims in
Australia, the most recent year for which government census data is
available. This figure is a 375% jump from 1996, when there were just
over 100,000 Muslims in the country.
The rapid increase in the Muslim population in Australia has been
accompanied by many of the same social and security problems faced by
Europe, where the rise of Islam is transforming the continent beyond
recognition.
Hizb ut-Tahrir seeks to establish a worldwide Islamic Caliphate that
would be ruled by Islamic Sharia law. The group, which has an estimated
one million members, is very active in efforts to promote the spread of
Sharia law in Europe. Hizb ut-Tahrir is also strongly anti-Zionist and
calls for Israel, which it calls an "illegal entity," to be dismantled.
Hizb ut-Tahrir's divisive leader, Taji Mustafa, was invited to
Australia with open arms to address the group's annual conference, which
was held in the Bankstown district of Sydney on September 16. The
official title of the conference was: "Muslims Rise: Caliphate Imminent."
Hizb ut-Tahrir has been accused of inciting riots in Australia to protest the American-made anti-Islam YouTube film called Innocence of Muslims. The group's Australian chapter on September 19 issued an eight-point statement
in which it justified the "praiseworthy" actions of 400 anti-Western
Muslim protesters who clashed with riot police in downtown Sydney on
September 15.
"It is a clear illustration that the major issue with events in
Sydney is not the violence, but the anti-Islamic agenda peddled by media
and politicians," the group said. "We encourage Muslims to continue in
their noble work of resisting Western attacks, accounting the political
establishment and media, and redoubling efforts to establish Islam and
the Caliphate in the Muslim World."
Police arrested and charged eight Muslim protesters with a range of
offenses including assaulting police and resisting arrest. Several
police officers were injured when a protester used the timber pole of a
banner to hit them on the head as they were trying to protect the U.S.
consulate from being stormed.
Australian political commentators have noted the sad irony:
A sympathizer for jihad is allowed into the country as part of the
"normal" process of British applicants, but an opponent of jihad -- a
man never convicted of a crime and a member of the Dutch parliament --
is blocked from coming.

You can call Wilders a lot of things(Populist, Islamophobic) but he is not a Nazi. Sure he sometimes goes too far with his views, like a tax on niqabs and some others small things, but he also points out a lot of valid issues, like the fact that Islam is still very immature and different compared to other religions in the west and that we have to realize that.
And even if he was a Nazi, censorship is never the answer. In a free country with free speech the only way to "fight" somethin More..

@cheva
While I agree with the premise of your post the problem is that they never want to talk back instead just strap bombs to their chests and running into crowded markets full of innocent families or threatening to behead you... Your point about Islam being immature was spot on.

They're electronic visas that are good for three months. Don't raise any flags and boom, they go through. Raise any flags and they get reviewed. This guy's going through the normal process IMHO. It's not like he's trying to move there.

'Great story when it comes to multiculturalism.'
What?! You mean like the Muslims in your country who want to kill (to behead, specifically) anyone with whom they disagree with?
Oh, man...

"when it comes to multiculturalism . . . it's something we should all be proud of"
How about being proud to be an Australian? Leftist terrorist apologist piece of crap. But it's okay. The brainwashed idiot leftist children tried this in Europe too. Their leftist fascism was shot down in court there, and it will be in Australia too.
The sad thing is that if Geert were a terrorist trying to get in to Australia to do a college speaking tour to advocate that Islam rule the country, these More..

@DirtyUncleBerty You're such a sad weakling. Thank goodness people like you are never going to get your way. You're free to bend over and take it up the ass from Islam in the hopes that they won't hurt you if you join them. No respectable human being worth anything would support the government oppression of someone like Wilders.

Every attempt by liberals to stop Free Speech that doesn't fit with "their version" of free speech.
This Australia is a full frontal attack on every freedom loving Australian. It isn't what Geert Wilders says is the problem with Australia, it's the fact that liberalization of Australia has degenerated to the point that you cannot say something that liberals don't like hearing.
Geert Wilders has - never - called for harm to individuals, he has never advocated violence to an identifiab More..
