Fjordman Reviews 'Fitna'
Fjordman - 4/22/2009
I liked it. It is impressive how much they managed to squeeze into just 15 minutes. I notice several of the comments at Jihad Watch say Geert Wilders could have made it worse. Yes, he could. He left out quite a few things, but what he kept was authentic and bad enough.

Regarding the Detractors of Vlaams Belang
Fjordman - 2/4/2008
Several prominent blogs are at it again with accusations against various European groups. Despite what The Australian newspaper claims, the British National Party did not participate at the meeting to establish “Cities against Islamization.” They also did not participate at the Counter-Jihad Conference in October, because they carry too much baggage with them, including open anti-Semitism.

Baron Bodissey - 11/16/2007

The Political Crisis in Belgium
Baron Bodissey - 11/11/2007
Belgium has gone for five months without being able to form a new government, and is in the throes of one of the greatest political crises in its history.

The Walloons are resisting Flemish efforts, even resorting to extra-constitutional means to maintain the status quo.

Dutch Chemicals Trader On Trial For Helping Saddam Wipe Out Halabja
Angelique van Engelen - 11/27/2005
Amsterdam. The trial has started in the Netherlands of a businessman who supplied Saddam Hussein in the 1980s with the ingredients to create the chemical weapons that were used to commit genocide on the inhabitants of the Northern Iraq town of Halabja. The chemicals trader in the 1990s was listed on the FBI’s most wanted list. His trial in Dutch courts is highly controversial because the Netherlands’ secret service had used the man as an informant and provided housing for him only to arrest him when he was making moves to leave the country late last year.
