A letter to Geert Wilders

Geert Wilders is the Dutch politician who has been threatened with beheading by Moslems and is currently under 24 hour police protection, and sleeping in prisons or military bases. I sent this e-mail to him through his website:

Dear Mr. Wilders,

I want to express my support for you, both in your stand against Moslem immigration and in your difficult personal situation.

I have been writing about the immigration problem in the United States for the last 15 years. My booklet, “The Path to National Suicide: An Essay on Immigration and Multiculturalism,” published in 1990, represented the first sustained criticism of the post 1965 immigration from the point of view of its cultural effects on America, particularly in feeding multiculturalism.

I read a few weeks ago that you had met with neoconservatives in the United States. I just want to tell you that the neoconservatives have been among the leading advocates of mass non-European immigration. They passionately oppose any attempt to get controls on immigration. They see America not as a concrete country, but as an “idea” of democracy and equality, from which it follows that America must be equally open to everyone in the world, including, of course, Moslems. That your life is in danger now is due to the kind of open immigration from the non-European world that the neoconservatives support.

The nations of the West will not retain their freedom and will not survive unless they give up this idea of total universalism and rediscover themselves as particular nations, and as part of a particular civilization. But the neoconservatives oppose all this. They want a single world, united by a single democratic idea, with open borders between all countries.

My own position on Moslem extremism and terrorism in the West is that there is no solution, short of stopping all Moslem immigration and then reversing the direction. Obviously, all Moslems cannot be removed at once. However, by (1) stopping all further Moslem immigration, (2) cracking down on illegal aliens, (3) deporting all Moslems who support jihadism, and (4) closing all extremist Mosques, we could create a different atmosphere in which Moslems would no longer feel so welcome in the West and lots of them would start to leave voluntarily. The result would be a NET OUT-MIGRATION of Moslems. Instead of their numbers (and power) getting steadily greater, their numbers would be getting steadily less. The West would start to grow stronger, and the Moslems weaker. That would be the opposite of what we have now, in which the Moslems are getting steadily stronger, and we are getting weaker.

I have developed these ideas in two articles published at FrontPage Magazine, one of the leading conservative websites in the United States:

How to Defeat Jihad in America
The Search for Moderate Islam

What has happened to you is a microcosm of the future of the entire West, unless we start to remove Moslems from the West. There is no other answer.

God protect you and be with you.
