Pim Fortuyn

I am appalled by Le Pen's anti-Semitic past and feelings. A man who says the Holocaust is no more than a footnote in history is beyond my comprehension.

How can you respect a culture if the woman has to walk several steps behind her man, has to stay in the kitchen and keep her mouth shut?

I have traveled a lot in the world, and wherever Islam is in charge, it's just terrible.

I'm not anti-Muslim; I'm not anti-immigration.

My policies are multi-ethnic and certainly not racist.

I want to stop the influx of new immigrants. This way, we can give those who are already here the opportunity to fully integrate into our society.

Le Pen is old; I'm young.

Christianity and Judaism have gone through the process of enlightenment, making them creative and constructive elements in society.

There is tension between the values of modern society and the principles of Islam.

The biggest problem is integrating people from countries with Islamic agrarian cultures. They don't share with us the core values of modernity and think quite differently about relationships between women and men and individual responsibility.

Right-wing in Holland is to the Left of the Tories in England.

This is a full country. I think 16 million Dutchmen are about enough.

For Muslims, as a homosexual, I am less than a pig.

An imam should be able to say that homosexuals are worse than pigs. My only demand is that you mustn't incite violence.

The whole environmental policy in the Netherlands has no substance any more.

Modern society places an emphasis on individual responsibility, whereas Islam places an emphasis on collective responsibility and the family.

We have equality of men and women in western society, whereas in Islamic culture, women are inferior to men.

The annual stream of tens of thousands of newcomers, who largely end up as illegal aliens, must stop. Full is full. We're living on a small piece of land here.

If you try to discuss multiculturalism in the U.K., you're labeled a racist.

Animal welfare must be a priority, and we need to switch to less industrial production methods.

If something happens to me, the government is co-responsible.

I have no desire to go through the emancipation of women and homosexuals all over again.

When I become prime minister, I'm going to buy one of those Margaret Thatcher handbags, and I'll bang it on the table and demand my money back from the government for past bad services.

We have a lot of guests who are trying to take over the house and the owner of the house doesn't like it.

I am proud that in the Netherlands I can come out for my homosexuality, and I'd like to keep it that way.
