Yankees, Geert Wilders is coming your way! He will take a break from the formation of a new Dutch government and speak out against the ‘Ground Zero Mosque’ in New York, this Saturday. In order to avoid an international scandal, De Pers presents a special Wilders Dictionary. What does Geert actually mean, whenever he gets a bit foul-mouthed?
Al Gore-parrot (‘Al Gore-papegaai’):
respectable climate scientist
Geert Wilders is a bit of a climate sceptic and no friend of the Democrats. This does NOT mean he is in favour of destroying the earth, it means he doesn’t believe in driving slowly (the new coalition will raise the maximum speed to 80 miles per hour).
Barbarian (‘barbaar’):
the wise prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him
One of the many nicknames Wilders has in stock for the prophet of Allah. It does NOT mean that he does not respect Mohammed, it means that he holds different opinions on a wide range of subjects (see also: Mass Murderer & Paedophile).
Fitna (‘Fitna’):
melancholic road movie
In 2008 Wilders released an internet movie about the threat the Islam poses to the West. The Dutch government tried hard to prevent Fitna (Arabic for: tribulation) out of fear for retaliation. There was a happy ending: no riots in The Netherlands.
Headscarf tax ( ‘kopvoddentaks’):
economic stimulus bill for The Netherlands
Though some people would explain this as a measure to wipe out all headscarves in the Dutch streets, Wilders forgot to calculate the expected benefits of this new tax and apparently wasn’t very serious about it himself.
Hank and Ingrid (‘Henk en Ingrid’):
the average people who love their Muslim neighbours
Wilders likes to call his fictitious fans Henk and Ingrid, two common Dutch names. One and half million men and women voted for his Freedom Party at the last elections, some 15 percent of the electorate. They are worried about immigration and security, but most of them do not support extreme measures like an official ban of the Quran.
Islamofascism (‘islamofascisme’):
the majority of moderate Muslims
Wilders believes Islam is a totalitarian ideology, instead of a religion. However, that does NOT stop him from signing a deal with CDA and VVD, political parties that do regard Islam as a religion.
Left Church (‘Linkse Kerk’):
Wilders’ dear friends from Dutch television
Wilders dislikes Dutch left leaning media, especially Hilversum-based public television – the Left Church - almost as much as he dislikes the Islam. He will never appear on their shows, EXCEPT when elections are near.
Street terrorist (‘straatterrorist’):
angry young man
Foreign teenagers harassing their neighbourhood are entitled to the same label ‘terrorist’ as members of Al Qaeda, Wilders insists. This does NOT mean he wants to deport street terrorists to Guantánamo Bay, he merely wants the police to shoot them in the knee.
Tearing the Quran (‘de Koran verscheuren’):
new reading technique for holy books
Unlike reverend Terry Jones, Wilders has never made plans to burn Qurans. Instead, he advised Muslims in this very newspaper to tear out all violent passages. A book the size of a Donald Duck magazine would remain.
Total freak (‘mafketel’):
head of friendly state, for example president Obama
Though Wilders called Turkish prime minister Erdogan a total freak, he does NOT hate all Turks. For his 47th birthday last Monday, he enjoyed the famous Turkish baklava, given to him by television show PowNews (see also: Left Church.)
Tsunami of islamisation (‘tsunami van islamisering’):
the multicultural melting pot of The Netherlands
Wilders likes to compare the process of immigration with a natural disaster and wants to close the border for Muslims.
But he withdrew an earlier statement that millions of Muslims who do not want to integrate should be deported out of Europe. Who is inside, stays inside. Cosy, or as we say: gezellig!
