Dutch MP and anti-Islam figurehead, Geert Wilders, was a headline speaker at a populist-nationalist confab in Prague this weekend, joining the likes of Marie Le Pen and Tomio Okamura in proposing measures to rescue Europe from Islamization and overwhelming immigration.

During a rousing address to an enthusiastic crowd, Wilders voiced his support for strategies implemented by other countries in efforts to secure their borders, and called for them to also be enacted across Europe.

“We must have the courage to introduce travel bans, as President Trump has done in the US,” he said. “We must have the courage to send every boat with illegal migrants back, as Australia is doing. We must have the courage to restrict legal immigration instead of expanding it, even if we sometimes have to build a wall, like the brave Hungarians have done.”

“We must have the courage to repatriate illegal immigrants. And the courage to de-Islamize and be unwelcoming to the ideology of Islam. Instead of being soft, Europe must be tough.”

Citing statistics recently released by Pew Research that paint a grim picture for the future, Wilders sounded the alarm, as he often does, that Europe faces an existential crisis as million of Middle Eastern and African migrants pour onto the continent, and Islamic populations grow within European countries – especially in the western nations.

“You do not want in the Czech Republic what happens in Western Europe today,” he warned. “Unless there are radical changes to the present policies towards immigration, over 30% of Sweden will be Islamic by the middle of this century, and almost 20% in Germany and France.”

In a press conference after the event, Wilders reiterated key talking points from his speech directly to international media, including his call for a Trump-style travel ban on countries whose inhabitants pose a threat to Western civilization.

Predictably, mainstream journalists are hand-wringing over the spread of “xenophobic populism” and calling the conference a meeting of “far-right” extremists – which could not be further from the truth, as the overwhelming desire of Europeans is to completely end all immigration from Muslim-dominant countries. This sentiment is glaringly apparent as parties and factions opposed to mass migration gain power and popularity at a stunning rate across Europe.

A survey conducted earlier this year by Chatham House of over 10,000 residents of 10 European countries revealed that 55% of respondents want an end to Islamic immigration, while a mere 20% support its continuation.

If anything, it would seem those who demand more mass migration are the true extremists.

Wilders has established himself one of the most prominent anti-EU, anti-Islam politicians in Europe, recently declaring that it’s time to ‘drain the European swamp’ and announcing his plans to spearhead a growing movement against Brussels’ authoritarian globalism and crippling open borders policies.

He and his Party For Freedom (PVV) are organizing a large demonstration in Rotterdam for January 20, which could be the first of many in the Netherlands and throughout Europe.
