" The first European Klu-Klux-Klan? - "Turkey in the EU? Never ! says radical rightwing Dutch MP Geert Wilders - by Abi Daruvalla

Many politicians are hedging their bets by insisting that a positive reccommdation by the European Commission does not automatically mean Turkey will actually be allowed to join. But procrastination is not everyone's style: "Turkey in the EU - never!" says Dutch MP Geert Wilders, the new right-wing messiah of Dutch politics.

Wilders has also received his fair share of negative reactions. The latest is an unconvincing death threat in the form of a poster on an internet site. The text reads "no vote for this racist." and "six bullets will kill him". It was supposedly put on an internet site by the unlikely sounding "International Stalinists".

EU-DIGEST: "Death threats are not appropriate in a Democratic society, but it might help to lock up Mr. Wilders in an "Insane Asylum". His ideas certainly have no place in a multi-cultural and multi-racial society like the Netherlands. You could probably also clasify him as "the first European Klu-Klux-Klan"
