Until he was jeered off the stage, that is.
A question and answer session by Dutch anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders at a US college was cut short on Tuesday after 'the tone of the event began to turn nasty' and some of the several hundred students 'began jeering', news agency AP said on Wednesday.
Wilders had been invited to show his video compilation Fitna to students at Temple University in Philadelphia by a student body called Temple University Purpose. The trip was paid by the California-based David Horowitz Freedom Center, AP said.
During his speech, Wilders stated that 'our Western culture is far better than the Islamic culture and we should defend it.'
He also said a resolution co-sponsored by the US and Egypt deploring attacks on religions while insisting that freedom of expression remains a basic right was a 'disgrace' and criticised president Barack Obama for his efforts to extend a hand to the Islamic world, saying that such appeasement marks 'the beginning of the end.'
More about the protestors. And what did I tell you about them being members of the Muslim-Moonbat Axis of Evil?
Before the speech, held in Anderson Hall, more than 50 protesters had denounced the appearance of Wilders at the school.
Members of All Sides, an organization that seeks to promote peace between Israel and Palestinians, held pink pom-poms and shouted, "Hey Hey, HO, HO, this racist bull----'s got to go."
Standing next to them with signs decrying Wilders' views were members of the Student Senate, Democratic Socialists and the Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance.
"Wilders speaks out about free speech while at the same time banning the Quran," said Megan Chialastri, vice president of All Sides.
"Banned books are not free speech and there is no way around that," Chialastri said.
"This is hate speech at its core," said Monira Gamal-Eldin, president of the Muslim Students Association.
And listen to this misguided and ignorant soul:
Before he was escorted out, the last student allowed to address Wilders said: "Clearly fascism wasn't defeated, because if it was, a genocide-loving racist clown like you still wouldn't have anything to say."
Dear God, there are none so blind as those who will not see...
