Geert Wilders MP, leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV), will hold two speeches in Washington DC in late April for members of the US Congress.
On Wednesday April 29th, he will speak at a reception offered to him by Congressman Louie Gohmert (R, TX).
That same day, he speaks at the invitation of Congressman Steve King (R, IA) at the breakfast meeting of members of the US Congress belonging to the renowned Conservative Opportunity Society, a group founded in 1984 by Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Wilders: "I feel deeply honored by the invitations. In my speeches I will warn my American colleagues of the dangers of Islamization."
After his visit to Washington, Geert Wilders travels to Garland, Texas, where on May 3rd he will give a speech and award a prize of $10,000 for the best Muhammad cartoon.

Newsweek said this about Wilders:
Dutch PVV anti-Islam party-leader Geert Wilders shows a sticker in parliament in The Hague, Dec. 19, 2013, with the Arabic text: 'Islam is a lie. Mohammed is a bastard. The Koran is poison.' BAS CZERWINSKI/AFP/GETTY http://www.newsweek.com/...
The Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim civil liberties advocacy organization sent out a heads up about the visit, which is similar to the invitation of Netanyahu by John Boehner.
Anti-Muslim sentiment is already a problem in our area, and these Representatives' behavior is beyond embarrassing, it is dangerous. Wilders also plans to award a $10,000 prize for the best Mohammed cartoon in a visit to Texas May 3. Are Reps King and Gohmert trying for a fatwa against them?
I've started petitions on Credo and Moveon, working with my 150 name local email list. We'll see if it gets off the ground. I have never started a petition before!
