Fear of Islamic reprisals (and the effects on public safety) have made the UK Government deny Geert Wilders entry into the United Kingdom because he exercised his rights to freedom of speech. I wonder when the government will realise that this problem will only get worse. There seems a concerted effort to bend over backward to accommodate the dogma of muslims to the detriment of centuries of British beliefs held by UK nationals. People are almost strong armed into swallowing any criticisms that they may have for that religion no matter how concrete such criticisms may be. Any religion that cannot stand up to questions, scrutiny and criticisms should not be allowed to intimidate or threaten the lifestyle of the majority of the populace. The oddity is that criticisms of the Jewish/Hindi/Christian or other faiths seldom bring about such extreme reactions.

Unfortunately, the UK government does not understand that this is a slippery slope they have started on and one by one, the beliefs and values of this society would be eroded in an attempt to bend over backwards to accommodate an arbitrary way of life or religion.

Mr Geert Wilders
For delivery via British Embassy in The Hague

Dear Mr Wilders

The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the Secretary of
State is of the view that your presence in the UK would pose a
genuine, present and sufficiently serious threat to one of the
fundamental interests of society. The Secretary of State is satisfied that your statements about Muslims and their beliefs, as expressed in your film Fitna and elsewhere, would threaten community harmony and therefore public security in the UK.

You are advised that should you travel to the UK and seek admission an Immigration Officer will take into account the Secretary of State’s view. If, in accordance with regulation 21 of the immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006, the Immigration Officer is statisfied that your exclusion is justified on grounds of public policy and/or public security, you will be refused admission to the UK under regulation 19. You would have a right of appeal against any refusal of admission, exercisable from outside the UK.

Yours sincerely,

Irving N. Jones
On behalf of the Secretary of State for the Home Department (Jacquie Dhimi-Smith)
