Prosecuting me as an elected politician for expressing the opinions of my constituents is absurd.
I believe we have been too tolerant of the intolerant. We should learn to become intolerant of the intolerant.
I am not a consensus politician... This is something that is really very un-Dutch.
Without sovereignty, a nation cannot exist. Without borders, it can\'t be defined or protected.
I\'m an elected politician. If you don\'t agree with me, vote for somebody else.
We are definitely not racists; we don\'t care about people\'s skin color.
Mass immigration changes countries beyond recognition. Ordinary people are well aware of that.
Wake up, Christians of Tennessee. Islam is at your gate. Do not make the mistake which Europe made. Do not allow Islam to gain a foothold here.
The European Union cannot be compared to the United States. America is a nation, but Europe is not. Europe is a continent of many different nations with their own identities, traditions and languages. Robbing them of their national democracies does not create a European democracy - it destroys democracy in Europe.
I\'m very thankful to live in a country where the government provides my protection - many police and armored cars and safe houses and things like that.
There is a perfectly good alternative to the European Union - it is called the European Free Trade Association, founded in 1960. Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein are members. E.F.T.A. stands for friendship and cooperation through free trade.
The Dutch are still allowed to speak critically about Islam, and resistance against Islamization is not a crime.
If one in four Dutch people saying they will vote for my party, it\'s ridiculous to say we\'re divisive or extreme.
We must precisely do what the terrorists prevent us to do.
While there are many moderate Muslims, Islam\'s political ideology is radical and has global ambitions.
We should be tolerant to people who are tolerant to us. We should be intolerant to people who are intolerant to us.
Islam is something we can\'t afford any more.
We\'ll never join up with the Fascists and Mussolinis of Italy.
Unfortunately, there is a tendency among political elites to distrust the opinions of ordinary people. They are perceived to base their views on dark instincts and unjustified fears, rather than on rational choices. European voters, however, are highly educated, and it is ridiculous to suppose they can be easily fooled or manipulated.
Not all are scum, but there is a lot of Moroccan scum in Holland who makes the streets unsafe.
I can\'t even go on a spontaneous walk or to a restaurant without armored cars and police, but there is no alternative.
It\'s not my intention to have anything at all to do with violence.
Democracy on a supranational level is simply impossible. In order to have democracy, there needs to be a nation.
Stating my views on Islam has brought me to court on charges of \'group insult\' and incitement to racial hatred. I am being tried for voicing opinions that I - and my constituents - consider to be the truth. I am being tried for challenging the views that the ruling establishment wants to impose on us as the truth.
I want the fascist Qur\'an banned.
We need to stop the Islamisation of the Netherlands.
Excluding certain problems from the political debate by making it a crime to discuss them won\'t lead to the disappearance of these concerns, let alone contribute to a solution.
We want to decide how we control our borders, our money, our economy, our currency.
Nexit is the best thing that can happen to us.
My view on Islam is that it is not so much a religion as a totalitarian political ideology with religious elements.
