Part Two: Volkskrant and it’s shameless “standing for (Dutch misconceived) free expression”
Volkskrant, (a former Catholic pillar newspaper that is pro-Wilders) shows no shame or fear of stigma for itself or its advertisers when it chose to run the PVV’s “Polish immigrant hotline” advertisements. Rather than shame and stigma for itself and its advertisers, the editors of Volkskrant are likely to pat themselves on the back as“free speech heroes.” However, “free speech protection” is actually in relation to individuals, groups and governments, not between private persons and groups. Here is where the Fortuynian conception of “free speech respect” is all wrong! For example, calling on boycotts of Volkskrant’s advertisers is not “anti-free speech,” but the right of free speech on the part of those calling for a boycott. Persons and groups have the right of free speech to call on others to not buy products advertised on Volkskrant’s website or newspaper. It is also the free speech right of persons and groups to call Volkskrant (rightfully in my view) a “pro-Wilders, xenophobic, hate-mongering newspaper that probably has Nazis as readers.” --- Volkskrant, (een voormalige katholieke zuil krant die is pro-Wilders) toont geen schaamte of uit angst voor stigmatisering voor zichzelf of haar adverteerders als het ervoor gekozen om de PVV de "Poolse immigrant hotline" reclame uit te voeren. In plaats van schaamte en stigma voor zichzelf en haar adverteerders, de redactie van Volkskrant waarschijnlijk zelf schouderklopje geven als "vrijheid van meningsuiting helden." Maar, "vrijheid van meningsuiting bescherming" is eigenlijk in relatie tot individuen, groepen en overheden, niet tussen particulieren en groepen. Hier is waar de Fortuynian opvatting van 'vrijheid van meningsuiting respect "is helemaal verkeerd! Bijvoorbeeld, een beroep op boycot van de Volkskrant van de adverteerders is niet "anti-vrijheid van meningsuiting", maar het recht van vrije meningsuiting van de kant van degenen die voor een boycot. Personen en groepen het recht van vrije meningsuiting een beroep doen op anderen om niet te kopen producten geadverteerd op de website van Volkskrant of krant. Het is ook de vrijheid van meningsuiting recht van personen en groepen Volkskrant (terecht in mijn ogen) een oproep tot "pro-Wilders, xenofobe, haatdragend krant dat heeft waarschijnlijk nazi's als lezers."

Polish Immigrant Hotline: Geert Wilders and the PVV shame the Netherlands again!
We have sat and watched how Geert Wilders and his PVV “political party” have again embarrassed the Netherlands with a webpage-hotline that is intended to “report bad behavior of Polish immigrants.” This action by the PVV has now angered many in Europe, especially from the East European nations that have citizens living and working in the Netherlands. This is more Fortuyn inspired nonsense and yet another action to drag down the Netherlands and its international standing to the mud. “Nederland is vol” is back and it is hurting the view of the Netherlands in the European Union and as a civilized nation. There is a need to challenge the Dutch nation from the outside, as the Dutch political system and the pro-Wilders Dutch media stand in the way. European nations must care other European nations in the interest of European peace and security. Human rights in European nations are not just for EU citizens and non-Muslims. Most of all, we need to call on the Dutch to return to their once great and admired national character. --- Wij hebben gezeten en keek hoe Geert Wilders en zijn PVV "politieke partij" weer heeft Nederland met een webpagina-hotline die bedoeld is om beschaamd "te rapporteren slechte gedrag van Poolse immigranten." Deze actie van de PVV is nu veel in Europa boos, met name uit de Oost-Europese landen die burgers wonen en werken in Nederland. Dit is meer Fortuyn geïnspireerde onzin en nog een andere actie om te sleuren in Nederland en de internationale reputatie van de modder. "Nederland is vol" terug is en het doet pijn het standpunt van Nederland in de Europese Unie en als een beschaafde natie. Er is een noodzaak om de Nederlandse natie te vechten van buitenaf, zoals de Nederlandse politieke systeem en de pro-Wilders de Nederlandse media in de weg staan. Europese landen moeten zorgen andere Europese landen in het belang van de Europese vrede en veiligheid. Mensenrechten in Europese landen zijn niet alleen voor EU-burgers en niet-moslims. De meeste van allemaal, moeten we een beroep doen op de Nederlandse terug te keren naar hun eens grote en bewonderde nationaal karakter.

The origins of Cameron’s troublemaking in the European Union
Europe and the world are "shocked" by the selfishness of the David Cameron's "veto," but this can be understood from the view of being a Thatcherite that is naturally hostile to the European project. There has always been a hate and mistrust of the European project because it is seen as trampling on the US “special relationship.” It's not only selfishness, but playing games that hinder the progress of the European project is also a stock-and-trade of this ilk. This serves to preserve the “special relationship” between mainly the UK and the US by sabotaging the EU whenever possible. The UK will be excluded, which is something that this ilk wants and has longed for. Atlanticism is of greater value than the European project to Thatcher, Cameron and Rutte. Even with the UK out, the second hard-line Atlanticist country is the Netherlands and it has all the tools to play more Thatcherite games without the UK inside of the EU.

Germany could be a lesson for other European nations
We have again that problem of Nazis in Germany. The presence of Nazis in Germany says nothing about Germany and leaving behind its Nazi past. Germany, unlike the Netherlands, has laws and policies in place to deal with radicalized Nazi terrorists and must be called to protect its constitutional and democratic order by banning "political parties" that are a threat. Germany has the responsibility to protect minority communities from terrorism and must place this responsibility along side of protecting its constructional order from Nazis and anti-Muslim extremists. Other European nations should start protecting its minority communities from both radical right terrorists and dangerous political parties.

Young Arab democracies need European Union help
The religious violence in the young Egyptian democracy is a sign that there is work that especially the European Union needs to undertake. The work should be a teaching moment for Egypt, not a chance by those (Uri Rosenthal) to promote Islamophobia, "clash of civilizations" foreign policy - and exclusive human rights activism that cares only for religious minorities and conveniently forgets the human rights of Muslims. What the EU is capable of doing is leaving group blame of all 1.5 billion Muslims, while working with young Arab democracies, like Egypt. The EU knows how to leave out the Islamophobia and "clash of civilizations" where Member States like the Netherlands cannot envision a rational foreign and human rights policy without Islamophobia. Only the European Union can help young Arab democracies and only the European Union should lead the way!

Jonge Arabische democratieën nodig hebben de Europese Unie te helpen
De religieuze geweld in de jonge Egyptische democratie is een teken dat er werk is dat vooral de Europese Unie moet zich ertoe verbinden. Het werk moet een leermoment voor Egypte, geen kans door die (Uri Rosenthal) aan islamofobie, "botsing der beschavingen" buitenlandse beleid te bevorderen worden - en de exclusieve rechten van de mens activisme dat alleen zorgt voor religieuze minderheden en gemakkelijk vergeet de mensenrechten van de moslims . Wat de EU kan doen is het verlaten van de groep de schuld van alle 1,5 miljard moslims, terwijl het werken met jonge Arabische democratieën, zoals Egypte. De EU weet hoe om te vertrekken uit de islamofobie en de "botsing der beschavingen" waar de lidstaten als Nederland kan een rationele buitenlands-en mensenrechtenbeleid niet voorstellen zonder islamofobie. Alleen de Europese Unie kan helpen bij jonge Arabische democratieën en alleen de Europese Unie moet het voortouw nemen!
