Geert Says Give 'Em "NUTS!"

Tonight I had the great pleasure of seeing Geert Wilders speak at the Ahavath Torah congregation in Stoughton, MA (which is south of Boston). Augean Stables was there and will probably have more complete coverage, and the temple plans to make the video available on the internet as well.

We were spared the usual Islamist conga line of protestors out front. The 300 or so people at the event were stunned by the powerful message of Fitna, which was followed by a standing ovation as Wilders came to the podium to deliver his talk. He finished up with his reference to General McAuliffe, at the Battle of the Bulge, responding to a German demand for surrender with the one word dismissal "NUTS". Which is what we should tell the enemies of freedom when they try to turn secular democratic Europe into Sharia-bound Eurabia.

It was an interfaith audience with both yarmulkes and Ash Wednesday forehead smudges to be seen. As one audience member commented, the Stoughton school system would have done well to recommend high school students attending this meaning, but there were only a few school-age attendees. Questions focused on how to get both politicians and fellow citizens to wake up to the danger posed by Islamism. Wilders acknowledged that it is not easy but we must do all we can to get the message out, because we are in a war for the survival of our civilization.
