More Writers Talking about Leaders for the Counter-Jihad Movement

There is a long interview of Filip Dewinter, Belgium’s leading politician of Vlaams Belang party, which is equivalent to the Netherlands’s PVV led be Geert Wilders. Diana West has posted most of the interview, but the full content can be read at Gates of Vienna.

Diana West comments on this interview and on its leader Filip Dewinter:
Americans tend to shake their heads and cluck over Europe's dire struggle with Islamization as though the continent were already lost even as they complacently luxuriate in the thought that It Can't Happen Here. Well, it is happening here, as this blog repeatedly catalogues, and we have no one of the calibre and courage of Dewinter (or his political counterpart in Holland, Geert Wilders) in public office to stop it.
What a difference Dewinter makes compared to the EU lackey Herman Van Rompuy - another Belgian politician now President of the United States of Europe. Paul Belien writes about his trajectory from a conservative Catholic to the leader of a godless organization that is working towards the destruction of Europe.

Back to Diana West and her comments on the need for a counter-jihad leader in the US. I wonder if she is reading this blog, as I wondered about Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs who made the very same observation about needing a national leader a couple of weeks ago?

Perhaps it is the forces of nature (or of Islam) conjoining finally. The interesting thing about Dewinter and Wilders is that they are seasoned politicians - Dewinter has been in politics for 25 years and Wilders for about twelve.

I have suggested Tom Tancredo for the U.S., and am still short of a name for Canada, although I thought that Ezra Levant could have played that role having been in politics for many years and currently battling the government installed Human Rights Commissions. Levant doesn't cut it, so I'll have to go digging some more.

But, Tancredo now writes regularly for World Net Daily, where he's written a few articles on Islam.
