Reader comment on item: Western Civilization on Trial: Why We Should Be Watching Geert Wilders
in response to reader comment: Should the US care about Geert Wilders trial?

Submitted by Wayne (United States), Feb 11, 2010 at 01:51

I also think the USA should be paying close attention to this trial. I don't believe Islam can coexist with European multiculturalism and pluralism. It will have to be one side or the other. Cultural and legal battles will continue to take place in Europe in the near future, and how they turn out will ultimately decide Europe's fate. The USA needs to realize what happens in Europe will have a profound effect on it. That what is happening in Europe today will most likely be happening in the USA tomorrow.
