Home Office UK Border Agency

Mr Geert Wilders
For delivery via British Embassy in The Hague

Dear Mr Wilders

The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the Secretary of State is of the view that your presence in the UK would pose a genuine, present and sufficiently serious threat to one of the fundamental interests of society. The Secretary of State is satisfied that your statements about Muslims and their beliefs, as expressed in your film Fitna and elsewhere, would threaten community harmony and therefore public security in the UK.

You are advised that should you travel to the UK and seek admission an Immigration Officer will take into account the Secretary of State’s view. If, in accordance with regulation 21 of the immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006, the Immigration Officer is satisfied that your exclusion is justified on grounds of public policy and/or public security, you will be refused admission to the UK under regulation 19. You would have a right of appeal against any refusal of admission, exercisable from outside the UK.

Yours sincerely,
Irving N. Jones
On behalf of the Secretary of State for the Home Department

Wilders, though, is defiant, “Let them arrest me in Heathrow,” he says. This should make for some media spectacle.

Robert Spencer adds this exit quesiton:

And finally, watch Fitna and ask yourself who should be barred from Britain: the jihadist preachers in the film, or Wilders who has shed light on their activities?

    I just got this press release in the mail today:
    I hope this letter finds you well.

    I just wanted to update you with the latest news about the “Facing Jihad World Tour” for ‘Fitna’.

    Though Geert Wilders’ controversial film was scheduled to be screened in the House of Lords in London on January 29, complications forced the screening to be postponed for two weeks (PLEASE NOTE: New information confirms that Lord Nazir Ahmed’s threats to organize mass demonstrations and storm the parliamentary chambers did not force the postponement.). The new screening date is this Thursday, February 12.

    The full details are attached or can be found here: http://pitch.pe/4322

    Please let me know if you need any additional information.
    All the best,

    Someone much wiser than I said something like this …"I disagree with what you say, but I defend to the death your right to say it." This is the very essence of Democracy, and something Muslims will never comprehend. Some years ago that appalling holocaust denier, David Irvine (Irving?), was forbidden entry into Australia as a result of pressure brought to bear by influential Jews. Sad. For a short while, there, I lost faith in the spirit of the Jewish mind, a mind that thrives on debate and argument. The man should have been welcomed with open arms, for his every utterance was absurd and open to ridicule. Let him speak so that we might tear him to pieces.To silence him in such fashion is to encourage fence-sitters to wonder if he might have something of merit to say. And now Britain is denying Mr Wilders entry because he holds certain views. The fact that I agree wholeheartedly with Mr Wilder's opinions has nothing to do with my disgust at the country of my birth. I weep bitter tears that a country that prides itself on democratic principles should betray its ideals in order to protect the interests of Islamofascists.
    Israel, The Australian Prime Minister not long ago apologised to the Aboriginals of "the stolen generation". Allow me to apologise, as a Briton, for the enduring disservice my country does to you. I feel such deep shame I do not know how to look you in the eye.

    Europe is a mess. They deny this man into a country because he exposes rapidly growing radical Islam, but this Lord Ahemed and his followers can stand in the streets screaming things like "Bomb the UK" and "Kill all Infidels"? You have to be kidding me. All Chamberlain and no Churchill in Britain.
