Geert Wilders To Speak At Temple University Despite Calls From Muslims That He Be Banned

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that "a controversial Dutch politician with anti-Islamic views will be allowed to speak at Temple University this evening despite calls by Muslims that he be prevented from giving an address on campus. Geert Wilders, a member of the Dutch parliament, has called for a halt to the immigration of Muslims to the Netherlands and a ban on the Quran. On Friday, he was allowed to visit Britain after a court ruled that a government prohibition against his presence was unjust. He called the court ruling 'a victory for the freedom of speech.' During his British visit, according to multiple news accounts, Islamists protested outside where Wilders spoke, holding placards that read: 'Islam Will Dominate the World' and 'Sharia for the Netherlands.' They also chanted, 'Free speech go to hell.'" Tweet
