crazy jew call wilder an anti semite

AMSTERDAM - TV Producer Harry de Winter, President of the board of the
foundation Een Ander
Joods Geluid [Another Jewish Voice], today placed a remarkable advertisement
on the front page
of the newspaper Volkskrant. De Winter puts Geert Wilders's criticism of
Muslims in the same
category as anti-Semitism.


"If Wilders had said the same thing about Jews (and the Old Testament) as he
does about Muslims
(and the Koran), he would have been ostracized a long time ago and accused
of anti-Semitism."

What is your message?

"We Jews know better than anyone else what this sort of discrimination can
lead to. Wilders
claims that the Muslims must be dealt with and that the Koran is a fascist
book. That's how
the persecution of Jews once started, by generalization. Therefore, it is
time for a sharper
criticism from the Jewish community. If you say the same thing about the
Jews or Israel, you
are considered an anti-Semite and ostracized. It is good that this feeling
of justice is so
strong, but, for me, there is no difference between the yarmulke and the
headscarf."

What impact does this generalization have, in your view?

"When I talk with Muslims, I see that they are hardly preoccupied with the
question of faith,
but because of Wilders they feel compelled to take a position. Either they
live in fear or
they harden and radicalize. Last week it became too much for me. Muslims
are pushed to the
brink, and that is dangerous. The Muslim community itself, moreover, must
also publicly speak
out against terrorism."

What do you hope to achieve?

"I hope that we will get support from the whole Jewish community. At least
that's how it
should be. Because we can recognize this problem like no one else."
