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~

Political EARTHQUAKE in Netherlands | Govt FALLS as Far-right leader walks-out over migration policy

Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof has resigned after far-right leader Geert Wilders pulled his PVV party from the ruling coalition, collapsing the fragile government just 11 months into power. Wilders quit over rejected proposals to deport refugees, shut shelters, and seal borders—measures legal experts say violate human rights laws. Coalition allies slammed him for prioritizing ego over unity. New elections are expected in October, as the Netherlands enters a political limbo amid growing tensions over immigration and national identity. #DickSchoof #GeertWilders #DutchPolitics #NetherlandsGovernment #CoalitionCollapse #PVV #ImmigrationCrisis #AsylumPolicy #FarRightExit #VVD #DutchElections #PoliticalTurmoil #WildersQuits #CaretakerGovernment #RefugeeDebate #EUHumanRights #NetherlandsNews #RadicalProposals #BBB #ParliamentCrisis #DutchPMResigns #OctoberElections #EuropeanPolitics #WildersControversy #AsylumLaw #UNRefugeeConvention #ImmigrationStandoff #FarRightEurope #WildersExit #GovernmentFall #BreakingPolitics Also Read Geert Wilders, Anti-Islamic Leader, Who Backed Nupur Sharma Over Prophet remark, To Be Netherlands' Next PM :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/geert-wilders-anti-islamic-leader-who-backed-nupur-sharma-over-prophet-remark-to-be-netherlands-3689045.html?ref=DMDesc Dutch Donald Trump Geert Wilders Wins Big in Netherlands Election :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/dutch-donald-trump-geert-wilders-wins-big-in-netherlands-election-gen-3688663.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.103~HT.318~GR.124~

Iran PRAISES Indian Public for Backing Tehran in Israel War | Modi Govt LEFT OUT of Embassy Thanks

Amid rising Middle East tensions, Iran’s embassy in Delhi issued a statement thanking Indian citizens, political parties, and institutions for standing with Tehran during its conflict with Israel. Notably, the statement avoided mentioning the Indian government, which maintained a neutral stance. India also withheld its signature from the SCO declaration condemning Israeli strikes. While Iran praised people-to-people solidarity, BJP supporters were seen backing Israel—reflecting India’s shifting geopolitical balancing act. With historic ties to Iran and growing defense ties with Israel, India walks a tightrope in a polarized region. #IndiaIran #MiddleEastTensions #IranIsraelConflict #Modi #IranAttack #TelAvivUnderAttack #IranIsraelConflict #IranStrikesHaifa #HaifaPort #MissileStrike #TelAvivExplosions #IsraelIranWar #IronDome #IDF #MiddleEastCrisis #TehranRetaliation #AyatollahKhamenei #IsraelDefense #TelAvivMissiles #IranMissileStrike #IsraelUnderFire Also Read Bihar News: Govt Sets Up 9-Member Trust to Build Grand Maa Janaki Temple at Punaura Dham :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/bihar-government-forms-trust-for-maaa-janaki-temple-construction-012-7784411.html?ref=DMDesc Iran's Guardian Council Approves Bill To Suspend Cooperation With IAEA :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/irans-guardian-council-approves-bill-to-suspend-cooperation-with-iaea-7784177.html?ref=DMDesc Bengaluru Power Cut On June 27: Several Areas to Face No Electricity For 7 Hours, Says BESCOM :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/bengaluru-power-cut-on-june-27-several-areas-to-face-no-electricity-for-7-hours-says-bescom-011-7783953.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.124~
