THE
HAGUE, Feb. 13 (IslamOnline) -The rightist Holland party has decided to dispose
its head Pim Fortuyn for his declarations to De Volkskrant newspaper on
Saturday, February 9, in which he said, ” Islam is a deteriorated culture”.
The
disposition of Fortuyn was decided in an emergency meeting on Sunday, February
10. The decision came after three months of continual provocation against Islam
and Muslims as well as showing his hatred for the Muslim minority and emigrant
Arabs.
Fortuyn
was elected in November 2001 as the head of the party. His extreme racial
declarations about Islam and his mixing religion and culture added to his
deviation from the party’s program which confirms the rightist nature of the
party and not the racial one.
While
some of the political analysts in Holland said that the declarations of Fortuyn
to De Folks Grant news paper were but a cause. The leaders of the party, which
has a majority of business men, felt that the extremist racial trend of Fortuyn
has formed a real danger on their interest and reputation as well as the fear
that they might not be able to get rid of him easily in the future, if they let
him freely on his way.
Pim
Fortuyn was turned in the last period to a political and media super star. All
the public opinion surveys showed that his party will take 20 places in the
coming parliament. It will turn to be the second or the third force in the
parliamentary elections in May 2002.
In
the declaration which caused his disposition that he would work to terminate the
right of political asylum to Holland if he passed elections. He said that 16
million Hollanders are enough in the country and there is no place for others.
Fortuyn
added that he wanted to change the first chapter in the Holland constitution
which prevents racial discrimination between citizens because of color, race,
religion, gender or any other aspects.
The
political leader and a lecturer at Erasmus University in Rotterdam said in the
article that he is not against foreigners in general. But he is specifically
against Muslims and if he was to handle it he would have prevented them from
entering Holland.
“I
do not hate Islam, but I find it deteriorated," he stated. "As I have
traveled to different countries in the world, I discovered that each time when
Islam is controlling, the conditions are intolerable.”
Fortuyn
is known for being perverted and boast about it on public and different media.
According to Holland party sources, he chooses his friends of foreign origin.
His
disposition caused a great relief in the political arena, especially in the
official diplomatic circles of the big parties for which he was a dangerous
rival.
