Who Is Geert Wilders? From ‘Moroccan Scum’ to ‘Ban the Quran’; Man Behind Europe’s Anti-Islam Agenda

Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders has long been one of Europe’s most polarizing figures. From calling Moroccans “scum” to demanding a ban on mosques and the Quran, Wilders has built his political career on fierce anti-Islam rhetoric. But who is the man behind the controversies? Why does he command such influence — and fear — in the Netherlands and beyond? This video unpacks Wilders’ rise, his inflammatory speeches, the fallout from his policies, and how he just triggered a political earthquake in Dutch politics. #GeertWilders #IslamDebate #DutchPolitics #FarRightEurope #GeertWildersSpeech #AntiIslam #PVV #NetherlandsPolitics #WildersControversy #BanTheQuran #EuropeanElections #ImmigrationDebate #WildersVsIslam #DutchElections #IslamInEurope Also Read Pakistan: Religious Leader Shot Dead In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/pakistan-religious-leader-shot-dead-in-khyber-pakhtunkhwa-4119325.html?ref=DMDesc Shahid Afridi Pressured Me To Convert To Islam: Pakistan's Ex-Cricketer Danish Kaneria :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/shahid-afridi-pressured-me-to-convert-to-islam-pakistans-ex-hindu-cricketer-danish-kaneria-4094081.html?ref=DMDesc Saddam Becomes Shivshankar: Muslim Man Converts To Hinduism To Marry Girlfriend Of 10 Years :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/saddam-becomes-shivshankar-muslim-man-converts-to-hinduism-to-marry-girlfriend-of-10-years-4047465.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.152~HT.408~ED.194~GR.125~

Who is Tommy Robinson? The Far-Right ANTI-ISLAM Campaigner Backed By Elon Musk

UK Far-Right Leader Tommy Robinson has been released four months early after the UK High Court ruled on his contempt of court sentence. Jailed for violating an injunction linked to a libel case involving Syrian refugee Jamal Hijazi, Robinson faced penalties for promoting a banned film repeating defamatory claims. Despite promising future compliance, Robinson criticized the government in a viral post and thanked Elon Musk for support. The case has reignited debate on censorship, defamation, and freedom of expression in Britain. #TommyRobinson #ContemptOfCourt #FreeSpeechUK #ElonMusk #CensorshipDebate #JamalHijazi #SilencedFilm #UKLaw #DefamationCase #MediaFreedom #HighCourtUK #CivilContempt #PoliticalPrisoner #BritishJustice #ElonMuskSupport #FreedomOfSpeech #PlatformReinstated #UKPolitics #XPlatform #LibelLaw #LegalNews #UKCourts #OnlineSpeech #MuskTweet #SocialMediaBan #UKDocumentary #SilencedByState #TruthTellerClaim #TommyRobinsonReleased Also Read Rudy Giuliani Found in Contempt of Court for Continued Lies About Georgia Election Workers :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/rudy-giuliani-contempt-court-georgia-election-workers-011-4039355.html?ref=DMDesc Contempt Of Court: IAS Officer Booked For Allegedly Threatening Judge :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/contempt-of-court-ias-officer-booked-for-allegedly-threatening-judge-3896993.html?ref=DMDesc DSGMC President, General Secretary Held Guilty of Contempt for Failing to Pay School Employees :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/delhi-high-court-holds-dsgmc-president-general-secretary-guilty-contempt-court-gen-3761437.html?ref=DMDesc

Rotherham Elects British-Pakistani Mayor even as Grooming gangs scandal still haunts town

Rotherham, a UK town infamous for the grooming gang scandal involving predominantly British-Pakistani men, has appointed Rukhsana Ismail—a British-Pakistani woman—as mayor. Though chosen by council members, not public vote, the move sparked backlash online. Critics argue it's insensitive to victims, calling it a "cruel twist" and accusing the UK of cultural erasure. Others defend Ismail’s appointment as merit-based and unrelated to past crimes. The controversy reignites debates around identity, justice, and Islamophobia in a deeply fractured political climate. #Rotherham #RukhsanaIsmail #UKPolitics #GroomingGangs #Islamophobia #ChildExploitation #BritishPakistani #RotherhamMayor #CulturalDebate #VictimsJustice #OnlineBacklash #EthnicRepresentation #UKNews #IdentityPolitics #ControversialAppointment #RotherhamScandal #SocialMediaDebate #PoliticalControversy #UnityOrDivision #BritishIdentity #MayorDebate #ScandalLegacy #MulticulturalUK #UKRacism #SexualExploitation #PublicOutcry #PoliticalRepresentation ~HT.318~

Waqf Amendment Bill: Necessary Reform for Transparency & Inclusivity | Strengthening India’s Future [Video]

Waqf Amendment Bill: Necessary Reform for Transparency & Inclusivity | Strengthening India’s Future

The Waqf Amendment Bill, 2025, is a crucial reform that brings transparency, accountability, and inclusivity to the management of Waqf assets in India. This reform aims to ensure that Waqf land and resources are used for the public good, preventing misuse and corruption while empowering marginalized communities, particularly Pasmanda Muslims. The Bill’s provisions include digitizing Waqf assets, providing public access, and including non-Muslim members in Waqf Boards to ensure broader representation. Despite protests and misinformation, the government’s goal is clear: to create a more efficient, transparent, and inclusive system that benefits all of India. #WaqfAmendment #IndiaReform #Transparency #Inclusivity #WaqfBill #ModiGovernment #Empowerment #IndianPolitics #WaqfReform #SocialJustice #Bharat #PublicGood #PasmandaMuslims #Corruption #LandReform #SecularIndia
