Muslim countries have been invaded and occupied for centuries, Europeans killed uncounted millions and are still doing it. Even as muslim immigrants are constantly being murdered now, we're supposed to listen to some sociopathic Zionist thug who revels in xenophobia and generalises over a widely diverse religion of maybe 1 and a half billion people. Stunning hypocrisy. Wilders is the sickness of Europe personified. Europe returns to its roots of racism and religious hatred.

However it's worth bearing in mind that "irony" is not a universal cultural trait, and that Islamists in particular (fundamentalists of any stripe, actually) have no concept of irony whatsoever.

Why does the tolerant West (prime example: The Netherlands) tolerate the intolerant of Islam? Does no one see the brutal irony? Islam is criticized for being a violent religion -- Islamists respond by threatening (and often executing) violence. Way to make a case for yourself.

He does not want it to be used for rightist politics. He is considering to sue but needs to inform himself first about his rights.

Would be kind of ironic.
