Nothing to fear from me, says Geert Wilder
Controversial rightwing anti-Islamic Dutch politician Geert Wilders says Australia has nothing to fear from him when he visits the country starting next week.
Mr Wilders, speaking on the ABC's Lateline on Wednesday, said he was on a global jihad to preserve freedom.
He said he wants to warn Australia against allowing the mass immigration of people from Muslim countries "because Islam and freedom are incompatible".
"I believe with mass immigration into our free societies, those societies will change, and they will change for the worse," Mr Wilders said.
The leader of the Party for Freedom holds the balance of power in the Dutch parliament after receiving around 10 per cent of the national vote.
He wants to tell Australians that we must learn from the mistakes they made in Europe and be vigilant of Islam.
"It is not a religion of peace - it is a totalitarian ideology," Mr Wilders said.
He conceded that the majority of Muslims living in Europe were moderates but their religion of Islam was totalitarian that has no room for anything but Islam.
Mr Wilders said that when he visits Australia next week he not only wanted to talk to people who agreed with him but to those who did not.
"I am a lawmaker not a law breaker," he said.
When asked if he would be accompanied by Dutch Security Service he said that he could not talk about security arrangements or he would make himself more vulnerable.
