“We'll never join up with the Fascists and Mussolinis of Italy.”

“In referendums in 2005, the Dutch and the French electorates rejected the European Constitution, which aimed to turn the E.U. into a genuine state. But Brussels refused to take no for an answer. It went ahead with its plans for a constitutional treaty, notwithstanding the people's opposition. Brussels thinks it knows better than the people.”

“I don't believe in political self-censorship.”

“There is no equality between our culture and the retarded Islamic culture. Look at their views on homosexuality or women.”

“I don't create hate.”

“It's sad that in the struggle for my country's freedom, I have lost my personal freedom.”

“Why can't you ask people if they want more or fewer Germans or Belgians or Moroccans?”

“People are equal, cultures are not.”

“If one in four Dutch people saying they will vote for my party, it's ridiculous to say we're divisive or extreme.”

“I believe that politicians have a public trust to further debates about important issues. I firmly believe that every public debate holds the prospect of enlightenment.”

“We need to stop the Islamisation of the Netherlands.”

“Freedom is the source of human creativity and development.”

“I believe a real democracy can only flourish when you have your own nation state, your own identity, even your own flag you can rally around.”

“Festering political problems do not go away simply because they are kept in a dark corner.”

“It's not about left and right, it's about common people and their issues.”

“I'm very afraid of being linked with the wrong, rightist, Fascist groups.”

“I have something against Islam.”

“We should wake up and tell ourselves: You're not a xenophobe, you're not a racist, you're not a crazy guy if you say, 'My culture is better than yours.'”
