Wilders: "I believe we have been too tolerant of the intolerant. We should learn to become intolerant of the intolerant."

Wilders: "Europe is my home, Europe is my continent. Europe is where we live. The European Union is a political bureaucratic organization that took away our identity and our national sovereignty. So, I would get rid of the European Union and be a nation-state again."

Wilders: "I hate consensus. I like confrontation."

Wilders: "The European Union cannot be compared to the United States. America is a nation, but Europe is not. Europe is a continent of many different nations with their own identities, traditions and languages. Robbing them of their national democracies does not create a European democracy - it destroys democracy in Europe."

Wilders: "I don't believe in political self-censorship."

Wilders: "Stating my views on Islam has brought me to court on charges of 'group insult' and incitement to racial hatred. I am being tried for voicing opinions that I - and my constituents - consider to be the truth. I am being tried for challenging the views that the ruling establishment wants to impose on us as the truth."

Wilders: "Israel is a lighthouse and the only democracy in a dark and tyrannical region. It's part of us, of our European identity."

Wilders: "I believe that politicians have a public trust to further debates about important issues. I firmly believe that every public debate holds the prospect of enlightenment."

Wilders: "We are not for cutting social welfare and are for more health care."

Wilders: "There is a perfectly good alternative to the European Union - it is called the European Free Trade Association, founded in 1960. Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein are members. E.F.T.A. stands for friendship and cooperation through free trade."

Wilders: "Wherever Islam gets its foot on the ground, you see less freedom, less freedom of speech, less freedom of anything."

Wilders: "We should wake up and tell ourselves: You're not a xenophobe, you're not a racist, you're not a crazy guy if you say, 'My culture is better than yours.'"

Wilders: "We in the Netherlands have the right to demonstrate and the right to speak up if we don't agree with something."

Wilders: "Unfortunately, there is a tendency among political elites to distrust the opinions of ordinary people. They are perceived to base their views on dark instincts and unjustified fears, rather than on rational choices. European voters, however, are highly educated, and it is ridiculous to suppose they can be easily fooled or manipulated."

Wilders: "Islam and freedom are not compatible."
