Dutch anti-Islam MP unwelcome in Turkey

Published on 24 November 2009 - 11:45am
More about:

The government of Turkey is unwilling to meet a delegation of Dutch MPs if anti-Islam campaigner Geert Wilders is among them. Turkish daily Aksam reports that the Ankara government is worried that Mr Wilders will use the visit to challenge Islam.

Geert Wilders, leader of the opposition Freedom Party, has said he is determined to travel to Turkey in January. He said he wants to explain to the Turkish people why their country does not belong in the European Union.

Turkey has been negotiating with the EU about membership since 1963.

Dutch anti-Islam MP unwelcome in Turkey
Interesting can no country legal entity have its own cultire and preserve it,remeber the movie MIDNITE EXPRESS,customs and law.
Sometimes nations can take example from other nations and try to understand that ones integruity although not having the right culture,religion or education using DUTCH soil for which we have seen,its clear the world and society are in a narcottic dream and do not understand,we the world are progressive and urging to communicate in a more understanding level not radical,Geert might have his point tomorrow some other european parlement will wake up to this reality,please protect geert and poeple that are njot against religion but a patronizing entity which likes to change the face of europe,yes we can live in peace with each other also in medieval times and in modern western world with non agression.

GOD BLESS THE NETHERLANDS FOR ITS KIND UNDERSTANDING please no strings attached no matter what politician you are keep the integruity in gouvernment and in the court of justice no matter what the masses!!!!

Geert Wilders is just a drop in the ocean we all should give our opinions lets all be truthfull and face the reality the question is which one,lang leve de Vaderland
