More about:

Anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders was born in the city of Venlo and his Freedom Party has more supporters there than any other local party. But this doesn't mean that Muslims are not accepted in Wilders' hometown. In fact, Venlo now has its first Muslim Carnival Prince.

He lives in Venlo, speaks Dutch and has friendships in his community. If we ask him where he's from he says Venlo, Netherlands. He's a Moroccan Dutchmen. I think he has good values. I bet I would enjoy his company.

Why it should be muslim? we have heard many times the words of: muslim world, islamic law, islamic food, islamic economy, muslim pool, muslim clothes, muslim greenpeace, muslim singer, and now muslim carnival, and many other term with word 'islamic' or 'muslim' in it. I just curious we will soon heard: muslim earth, muslim mars, muslim moon, muslim jupiter, islamic drink, muslim toilet, muslim beach, muslim building, muslim real estate, muslim island. And how about the rest all of us? We will should to be a guess for them which should abide their rules and laws, otherwise they will kick us to the kafir planet, pluto maybe?
