Our Flemish correspondent VH has compiled a report and translated a video about a little sideshow event put on by the International Socialists in Almere:
A few dozen supporters of the International Socialists marched in flowery pajamas through downtown Almere on Sunday afternoon (February 28), displaying slogans such as “No commandos”. They were protesting against a PVV proposal for city commandos to fight crime by street terrorists.
The demonstration was also supported by the Dutch Muslim Party in Almere demonstrated against the PVV with — as they called it — “A Flower March”. Other slogans included “Say no to the PVV, Almere PVV-free”. Only few people joined in during their march through the city-center of Almere. There were no incidents.
Many thanks to Vlad the Subtitler:

Why blue? Is red not cool enough for you kids anymore?
I would pay good money to see them dropped off in those outfits somewhere in Helmand province and watch what happens.
Dutch News is reporting that Geert Wilders' PVV came in first in Almere and second in The Hague, the only two cities they were contesting in the Dutch municipal elections.
Extra Kevlar Time, Geert!
Goed zo, PVV!
“Stop witch hunt against Muslims. No room for racism. International Socialists”
Were it not so incredibly irrational, such total credulity would be utterly hilarious.
If there are still old-time witch hunts going on in this world, they are most often happening in Islamic countries.
As to, "No room for racism." Islam has to be one of the most racist ideologies on earth. Arab Muslims regard themselves as the Master Race™ and woe betide any other followers of Allah who pretend to such status. The fate of Black Muslims in Sudan and other African nations bears grim testimony to this.
