\nTORONTO – Geert Wilders was greeted with all of the courtesy Canada\u2019s freedom of the press offers.<\/p>\n
His entourage, however, doesn\u2019t necessarily offer the same.<\/p>\n
Toronto Sun reporter Jenny Yuen went to airport upon the Dutch parliamentarian\u2019s arrival Sunday for several Canadian anti-Islam speeches and found out that freedom of reporting did not apply to her.<\/p>\n
Wilders was in a room spewing out all of his \u201cIslam is bad\u201d mantra when his Party For Freedom \u201cpublic relations officer chairman Ms. G (Gaelle) de Graaff\u201d not only demanded her notes but also confiscated them.<\/p>\n
She then handed them over to another clown named Naresh Raghubeer who later phoned Jenny at 11 p.m. and berated her, followed up with a snotty e-mail saying \u201cin the future, it would be helpful for reporters to understand the security implications of stories they are covering. Last known locations and future locations should not be included unless they are approved or add to the context of the story (with the approval of the subject).<\/p>\n
\u201cSecond, when items are off the record, it should remain so,\u201d and \u201cthird, as I had correct the reporter re the focus on Christianity\/Bible Belt, it appears personal bias were already taking the story down a road which was not factual or relevant. Kory Teneyke and Pierre Karl Peladeau should strive for better.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maybe it should be Freedom Party leader Wilders who should strive for better and have people who respect freedom around him. <\/p>\n
Imagine the hypocrisy of this tour going around and saying all things Islam are to be feared and yet bully a reporter and stealing her notes. <\/p>\n
The irony is amazing when this \u201cfreedom\u201d guy Wilders is talking about the banning the building of new mosques, banning Islamic schools and even the Qur\u2019an and yet his people are censoring free speech.[\u2026]<\/p>\n
He takes the \u201cIslam is akin to cancer\u201d approach where you must remove the tumour to avoid it spreading. <\/p>\n
Of course for Canada the notion is as dumb as it is odious, as simple and unfair as it undesired and unrealistic.<\/p>\n
What are we supposed to do with all these so-called hate-mongering Muslims? If we kick them out I wouldn\u2019t have a doctor or dentist, who I am quite sure are not terrorists. <\/p>\n
I can\u2019t speak for Holland but in Canada people of Islamic faith have greatly contributed to society.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
I can speak for The Netherlands as much as Wilders does, so I\u2019ll say it myself: people of Islamic faith have not just greatly contributed to society but they continue to do so on a daily basis. If you ask me, the vast majority of them way more than Geertje. But I guess his peroxided mane doesn\u2019t house any critical thinking abilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
