Our Flemish correspondent VH has compiled a report about Mr. Wilders’ plans, based on translations from the Dutch media. First, from Elsevier:
Wilders will join protest in New York against Ground Zero mosque
PVV leader Geert Wilders will go to New York on September 11 to protest against the construction of a mosque on the site where the Twin Towers once stood. Along with prominent U.S. politicians, the PVV leader will give a speech during the protest, as reported by the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reports:“By accepting this invitation Geert Wilders supports the resistance against the construction of a mosque near the place where Islam committed the worst crime in recent years,” the PVV states. “The attack on the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, was an attack on the entire Western civilization, including the Netherlands.”[1]
Previously Wilders had filed questions in parliament on the alleged Dutch involvement in the project. The Netherlands reportedly provided a million euro subsidy to the American Muslim organization Asma. According to the PVV, this organization was involved in the construction of the mosque, but the government denies this.[2]
Three thousand deaths
In the area where the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers took place on September 11, 2001, and nearly three thousand people were killed, there are plans to build a mega mosque.
The demonstration against the construction of the prayer house is organized by ‘Stop Islamization of America’. Besides Wilders, among others the Republican politician Newt Gingrich will give a speech, as well as relatives of victims of the attack, and members of the Fire Department.
The demonstration is being organized by the SIOA (Stop Islamization of America), and is scheduled to start at 14:00 hours at Park Place between Church and West Broadway, near Ground Zero.
The plans for the construction of the mosque are very controversial. Many New Yorkers [and many others, also outside the USA] regard the project as an insult to the people who were killed by radical Muslims during the terrorist attack.
Fraternization
Proponents of the project argue that the building will lead to reconciliation between the various believers. The center, located two blocks away from Ground Zero, will open its doors to all visitors, irrespective of religion and gender.
This week it was announced that there were no legal objections to the construction of the mosque. Mayor Bloomberg supports the construction of the mosque. He believes the government should not interfere in religious affairs.
To the above translation added is added what is stated on the PVV website and the articles in the newspapers De Telegraaf and Algemeen Dagblad:

Full transcript:
Geert Wilders will go to New York on September 11 to demonstrate against the construction of a mosque near Ground Zero, the spokesman of the PVV leader announced this Friday.
The demonstration is the initiative of an American organization that struggles against the Islamization of the country.
Wilders will also give a speech at the meeting. With his presence the PVV leader supports, as he put it, the resistance against the construction of a mosque near a place where Islam committed the worst crime in recent years.
Earlier this week it was announced that plans for the construction of the mosque can proceed.
Ultimately, the fifteen-story building will house an Islamic cultural center, including a mosque and a pool.

Landmarks Preservation Commission for voting 9-0 to allow the building of a Muslim mosque at ground zero in New York City
So who are the nefarious 9?
I think it is an Exceptional idea for Muslim, but many americans are trying to protest this . That is not good.

@Shariful,
You know full well it is not an exceptional idea, it is what islam prescribes when it has conquered a nation.
I'm sure that 911 this year will be something to see. I look forwards to whatever happens.
The Cordoba mosque is nothing but an open invitation for some spectacular demonstration of dissenting opinion. The more dramatic and violent it is, the more that Muslims will attempt to spin it as both an abhorent manifestation of typical Islamophobia and a lever with which to promote the idea that terrorism is not the exclusive province of Islam.
While the Liberal Left might swallow down that Islamic propaganda camel whole, a large part of the US population may very well just sit back and applaud.
Imagine the irony of Americans remaining deafeningly silent about such an act instead of objecting to it, in exactly the same way that Muslims have been doing for DECADES.
One way or another, the Cordoba mosque is going to serve as a catalyst for some serious backlash. It is almost impossible to see how this can be avoided. The injury is too great, the insensitivity too willful and the insult too conspicuous for any of it to be ignored.
All of this goes beyond inuring Americans to displays of open hostility. Regardless of outcome, the Cordoba mosque will galvanize a portion of the American population and make it an implaccable foe of Islam. This segment will include a whole flock of new converts who did not regard the 9-11 atrocity as enough but, for whom, this will be the very last straw.
As always, even while Islam overreaches itself, so does it also manage to sow the seeds of its own destruction. Muslims continue to drop pebble after pebble of affront into the lake of America's pooling hostility; not realizing that when it finally overflows, the torrent of vitriol released may well see Islam swept away entirely.
More and more, metaphors of Pearl Harbor are being applied to the 9-11 atrocity. How long will it take before people begin to draw similarities between the conclusion of America's war with Japan and the manner in which Islam eventually shall be dealt with?
Muslims continue to sow the wind. In their technological illiteracy they have no concept of how merciless Western versions of Total War can be. At some future point, bloodthirsty jihadists will likely be stunned into awestruck silence upon geting an up-close glimpse of the wholesale destruction they continue to invite with each new terrorist atrocity.
The Cordoba mosque is merely more Islamic salt being rubbed into an, as yet, unhealed wound and a flagrant insult that will not soon be forgotten, if ever.
"One way or another, the Cordoba mosque is going to serve as a catalyst for some serious backlash. It is almost impossible to see how this can be avoided. The injury is too great, the insensitivity too willful and the insult too conspicuous for any of it to be ignored.

Indeed.
I don't think it can be said too often: Geert Wilders has huge, massive, solid brass ones. Awesome.
Anyone who considers Newt Gingrich to be presidential material should read this article: (some excerpts)
Gingrich, Toffler, and Gore: A Peculiar Trio
“The core of our Contract [with America]” and the solution for those “trying to figure out how to put me in a box,” he said, could be found in a book by futurist Alvin Toffler called “The Third Way,” to which he added, “I am a conservative futurist.”
… Or to put it another way, futurism is a head-in-the-clouds political philosophy, complete with theories and forecasts, which envisions the use of force to insure that those theories and forecasts come to pass.
… Not surprisingly, then, ten years later, in the wake of the passage of NAFTA, [fellow] globalist Council on Foreign Relations Republican Insider Henry Kissinger would be heard bragging here, there, and everywhere, that the man most responsible for giving us NAFTA (what Kissinger called the important checkpoint on the way to a New World Order) was none other than Newt Gingrich.
From another article:
THE GRINCH WHO STOLE CONSERVATISM
Remember, Newt Gingrich is a long-standing member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), which is a notorious proponent of globalism and archenemy of national independence, State sovereignty, and limited government. Does anyone at Fox News recall what Admiral Chester Ward said about the CFR? (Plus, how many of the Big Shots at Fox News are themselves members of the CFR?)
Rear Admiral Chester Ward, who was the Judge Advocate General of the Navy from 1956 to 1960 and a former member of the CFR who pulled out after realizing what they were all about, warned the American people about the dangers of this and similar organizations (such as the Trilateral Commission). He said, "The most powerful clique in these elitist groups have one objective in common--they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereignty and the national independence of the United States. A second clique of international members in the CFR . . . comprises the Wall Street international bankers and their key agents. Primarily, they want the world banking monopoly from whatever power ends up in the control of global government."
Admiral Ward also said, "The main purpose of the Council on Foreign Relations is promoting the disarmament of U.S. sovereignty and national independence and submergence into an all powerful, one world government." [emphasis added]
Combine the foregoing when considering Gingrich's cynical dalliance with wanna be warlord poverty pimp Al Sharpton and it becomes clear that Gingrich is anything but the conservative's friend.
Whatever posturing Gingrich is making about the Cordoba mosque is just that, posturing. He is a transnationalist and one-world-government elitist who should not be trusted with a ball point pen much less America's highest executive office.
Read the two linked articles to get some more perspective about this member of the Traitor Elite™.
A belated hat tip to JD who posted "THE GRINCH WHO STOLE CONSERVATISM" in last Friday's GoV News Feed.
zenster, it seems a bit weird to recycle these ancient bircher theories here at GoV. After all, the birchers also claimed that islamic terrorism does not really exist, except as a front for NWO.
It is also important to remember why the birchers and the pasto you quote are so obsessed with the idea of world government and jewish bankers... atleast as far as I can tell, it has a lot to do with the book of revelations, claiming a world government will precede the coming of the anti-christ...
But if you feel that Palin or Romney would make an ideal WW3 president, thats your bet. But the implication that preferring Newt is somehow "nuts" because he is member of CFR doesn´t make much sense, to me atleast.
Frank Kitman: … it seems a bit weird to recycle these ancient bircher theories here at GoV.
Do you have a better explanation for why so many of the Republican and Democratic Party elite are selling America down the river wholesale?
I request that you watch "The Obama Deception" and then tell this forum that there is some other reason behind their abject treason.
I am more than happy to entertain another explanation because what I have seen to date goes beyond appalling. If you have a way of rationalizing the behavior of this Traitor Elite™, I'm all ears.
Strange as it may sound, the theories you deride represent some of the simplest explanations other than outright stupidity and the individuals involved are anything but stupid.
How to contact ConEd about the 9-11mosque and their sale of half the Park Ave. property needed for this abomination.
Let them know that the 9-11 atrocity cost ConEd untold millions of dollars in damage to utilities infrastructure and that they are inviting renewed terrorist attacks upon New York City if they sell their half of the Park Avenue property to Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf for the Cordoba Mosque building.
Flood them with calls AND emails.

Here is some text that you can cut and paste into an email:
Subject: Damaged Equipment
To Whom,
Damage to Consolidated Edison equipment worth millions of dollars happened on September 11, 2001.
Your company's potential sale of the Park Avenue property to Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf would contribute to the possibility of more terrorist attacks upon New York City and the utility infrastructure of Consolidated Edison. The possibility of this is very real as the mosque is being funded by Saudi Arabia.
Please refuse to consider any such transfer of title for this important property until it can be shown that there is no chance of it being used for a mosque or any other Islamic institution.
Thank You,
Here is a great video regarding the 9-11 mosque:

Frank Kitman: zenster, it seems a bit weird to recycle these ancient bircher theories here at GoV.
It seems even more weird to have someone of your stature indulge in a drive-by post without making the least attempt to substantiate your position. Even after being sent a private email invitation to do so.
I hope that you will see fit to correct this.
