Wilders and Israel Wilders have in the past twenty-five years, to own say, such forty times Israel visited, where he Ariel Sharon and has among other things met Ehud Olmert and maintains contacts with the Mossad. Initially wild Wilders move to the Jewish state because he found that you ' could work there still for your money '. Wilders worked there in bread factories and moshav, with its deserved money to tour in Israel and neighbouring countries. Langzaamaan is he of Israel will keep, or such as Wilders it itself in 2003, in an election speech in tel formulated Aviv: ` a lot of interesting countries in this region have I the previous years visited: from Syria to Egypt, from Tunisia to Turkey and from Cyprus to iran, but nowhere I have that special feeling of solidarity that I always get if I am on Goerion-airport foot on Israeli floor put. Vvd-Kamerleden have not only experienced those Wilders as a fractiegenoot, define him as ` a friend of Israel, but also if a lawsuit deliveryman for the Jewish state. ` he has a very large heart for Israel and the political interests of that country, thus John Manheim, which conducted campaign for the VVD with Wilders in tel Aviv and neighbourhood, and President is of the centre information and documentation on Israel (CIDI) in The Hague. Meanwhile Wilders have an impressive list chamber questions in which he defends Israel and attacks neighbouring countries of Israel. Several VVD'ers suspect to Wilders of it that he let put in chamber questions by the Israeli embassy in the Netherlands, which lies on steenworp distance of the House of Commons. Wilders have always denied that.[ 1 ] Political rate Wilders and the VVD Within the VVD fodder Wilders a ' righter ' (more conservatief-liberale) rate, what caused friction between him and other VVD'ers. By the end of august 2004 reached this a confrontation as a result of two events. First Wilders wrote a leaflet with its fractiegenoot Gert-Jan launch in which he described the new, right rate the that VVD to its idea would have follow. Secondly Wilders refused with the official opinion of the fractie agree that Turkey, when this country meets EU certain conditions, ever- member could. Wilders savage anyhow exclude Turkey and refused submit itself to the fractiediscipline. This was a fundamental point, because the VVD shared its opinion with a wide parliamentary majority and Wilders vote against the decision-making would not influence. Afsplitsing: Group of Wilders On 2 September 2004 of Vvd-fractie made Wilders confessed want itself break away from. He decided go further as a eenmansfractie and chose for that the name group of Wilders. This decision fell not well at the VVD. Because Wilders had at the elections insufficient voorkeurstemmen to have obtained for direct have been preferred, a large part of the VVD found which he had cede its seat to the party. Wilders this wish did not remunerate however. Nee'-Campagne In multitude to Dutch Europese-Grondwetreferendum, Wilders have conducted their own campaign for ' no '. Thus he has sent several columns to newspapers, of which some are also published. Moreover he has gone with a bus along a number of cities, to distribute Nee'-folders and signatures. Of this he has made reports on its web-unwieldly. Party for freedom In its pursuit to its political party a broader character to give, Wilders left its eenmansfractie as from 13 September 2004 to outside treden such as "group of Wilders - party for freedom". The fractie in the parliament group Wilders officially continued be called, because the chamber regulations do not permit a modificationmodification modification. Under the name party for freedom the party of Wilders took part in the second parliamentary congressional elections 2006. There he was particularly successful and scored from nothing 9 seats. There however few parties proved be which sense there in had to with Wilders will govern. Wilders spoke themselves of cordon sanitary. This was however contradicted by the other fractieleiders. Jan said Marijnissen of the SP... simply too much insuperable programmed differences... Rutte of the VVD to see , and mark called the party for freedom one-issuepartij. The party for freedom scored especially in parts of limburg (birth ground of Wilders) considerably more votes than in the rest of the Netherlands. In some parts of limburg Wilders gained around the 17% of the votes. Tegenbeweging In December 2007 President of Hbo-raad made and oud-vakbondsvoorzitter Doekle Terpstra plans have been confessed a tegenbeweging to stop Wilders set up ideas concerning among other things immigrants. He wants reduce this way the "verWildering". The sentence Wilders in this context Terpstra had earlier already pronounced are it angry and that angry must be stopped [... ] it is time that the debate concerning integration at is taken away politically. To let we no longer passive be. [ 2 ] Wilders themselves called the initiative ' repugnant ' and thought that it was played there on the person. The movement became the Netherlands appoints and builds mentioned and got form on 2 January 2008 on the voorpagina of faithful page-broad a recall was then placed on behalf of Terpstra and some dozens prominent medestanders, to appoint, tackle ' problems in the society and solve, so that citizens link themselves with each other '.[ 3 ] Wilders, which are not particularly called in the advertisement, called the signatories "foolish and naive scatterbrains" and defined them as"dhimmi' s".[ 4 ] Wilders and Moslems Wilders explained in March 2006 that he Article abolishes 1 of the constitution (the discriminatiebeginseldiscriminatiebeginsel discriminatiebeginsel) savage, the borders close for certain five years for niet-westerse immigrants and a prohibition on new Islamic schools and moskeeën for years also five. Furthermore he wants a sermon prohibition for foreign imams and a prohibition on preaching in another then Dutch language.[ 5 ] Wilders compared with the television programme RTL news, told on 26 April 2007 , that he two weeks for that an interminable conversation had had terrorism suppression ( NCTb) with the national coordinator, Tjibbe Joustra. Those will have told him that ayatollahs had threatened as a response to its Koranuitspraak with economic sanctions against the Netherlands and calling back ambassadors. Wilders said: "that has not happened fortunately all but you are scared if you see that". Also got Wilders to beelden to see of raging Moslem mob of which acted against its pronouncement. He felt himself, by the long duration of the conversation, intimidated and thought that him was given know the message that he would have abandon as of now such judgements. Joustra made no statements concerning the question, but a spokesman emphasised in general it commonly that the NCTb would limit never someone in its public remarks. Niettemin savages the parties VVD and know d66 or a member of parliament this way ' the mouth can be stringed '.[ 6 ] On 8 augusts 2007 Wilders in a ingezonden letter in the Volkskrant pleaded for a prohibition on the koran.[ 7 ] he called the koran a fascist book and "the Islamic Mein Kampf" and it according to him forbidden would have. Furthermore he of "Islamic invasion", wants he "no Moslem immigrant more spoke" and the political "would cooperate in the transformation of the Netherlands in Nederabië as a province of the Islamic super state Eurabië". Concerning this letter some declarations were submitted against Wilders because of incite to hatred. Also politicians let know in not wrong too understood bewoordingen fel squared against its conception in these.[ 8 ] the Flemish Right-nationalist Filip Dewinter found that Wilders went "too far" in its judgements, and said that he had the impression that Wilders "radicalised".[ 9 ] The debate came stand further on sharp, after Wilders on 6 September 2007 minister Ella bird ear (live, districts and integration) called "knettergek" during a debate in the House of Commons concerning islamisering. This said Wilders as a result of an interview with the bewindsvrouw, some months rather, in which she had said state be able itself that concerning a couple centuries be spoken of the Jewish-Christian-Islamic traditions of the Netherlands. [ 10 ] Anti-Koranfilm Fitna See also Fitna (film) On 28 November 2007 Wilders made confessed by means of the telegraph work for a film concerning the koran. The film reflects Wilders conception that the koran is a fascist book, which still beginning to violence. On 9 February 2008 the name of the film made Wilders confessed: Fitna, what stands for "tribulation" and "it angry" in Arab.[ 11 ] Still before the film was produced caused it much upheaval, among other things the ministers Ernst Hirsch Ballin (justice), Guusje for the horst (home affairs) and Maxime Verhagen (the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) has indicated Wilders on the impact which the film could.[ 12 ] the Islamic organisation Hizb ut-Tahrir decided distribute folders as a result of the news concerning the production of the film against "calumny work of Islam".[ 13 ] both in - and one makes foreign country ensure themselves that the contents of the film could be vexatious, and could call risky responses in the field of public safety, security and economy. The cabinet prepared himself to the possible impact that retransmission of the film could, in within - and foreign country.[ 14 ] Wilders themselves gave in a response to 22 January 2008 in nova on this to "too zot" and because "incomprehensiblely" to find, the nobody knew contents of it still.[ 15 ] The film appeared on 27 March 2008 on Liveleak but afterwards was briefly removed after threats direction employees of Liveleak. The film had been then already spread to among others YouTube, Rapidshare and The Pirate Bay. After announcing the film it remained, to general relief, quietly under the Moslems. Wilders were about that very satisfied and even spoke of "homage to the Moslems". Minister-president Balkenende found that a historical pronouncement of him. Wilders and the debate with Moslems So far Wilders have not gone in debate with Moslems and Moslem organisations. Several organisations, like among other things the Dutch Moslem Council, the Turkish-Islamic student association students Union the Netherlands (SUN), the from Amsterdam youth centre Argan and the Ahmadiyya Moslem community have tried with Wilders in conversation join, but these initiatives have still nowhere conducted. Also Wilders have been not yet seen if heard in television - and radio programmes in which he is faced with Moslems. This way its invitations of the programmes the meiden of Halal, false plat, Ab & Sal (all three programmes of the NPS) and Meetingpoint (of the NMO) refuseen categorically. Wilders has let know: "after the film I do not go with them in conversation, for that."[ 16 ] Image To be pronounced positions are of it the cause that Wilders strongly divide the public opinion. Assistence frequently comes of antagonists of the so-called political establishment or correctly of liberal antagonists of, insufficiently economisch-liberale VVD energetic according to them, or a too little. Also weet Wilders sympathy to arouse at former partisans of Pim Fortuyn, with whom he is compared by some. Others on the other hand accuse of him of unthinking copying Fortuyns thinking, purely from electoral considerations.

The sentimenten around the assassination on Theo contributed van Gogh to that certain also.

To be first threat dates however already of 10 October 2003, on which the bedreiger were explained arrested and guilty. However for the weeks after its afsplitsing of the VVD one has been possible speak of a flow of threats. After the assassination on Theo van Gogh on 2 November 2004, Wilders were in secret taken along to schuiladres, because the police force considered the risk for Wilders too large. He is monitored since then 24 hours per day. In first weeks which followed Wilders each day, and sometimes several keren per day, to new locations were brought. On 15 December Wilders for the first time returned in the House of Commons. Some weeks later he a fixed, time secret, location in a prison cell on camp got Zeist.
