Geert Wilders: Wisdom and Courage
In this speech Geert Wilders, chairman Party for Freedom in the Netherlands, gave some interesting information about the Islamicization of Europe. “The Europe you know is changing. You have probably seen the landmarks. The Eiffel Tower and Trafalgar Square and Rome’s ancient buildings and maybe the canals of Amsterdam. They are still there. And they still look very much the same as they did a hundred years ago. But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world, a world very few visitors see - and one that does not appear in your tourist guidebook. It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration.”

I caught your link to the story on Christian bookstores.

As soon as I saw it I thought, Mitchell’s is closing! :(

Now I have no idea of where I’m supposed to go for Christian fiction and non-fiction. Indigo isn’t quite the same thing… :-/
