But there is one big difference between Geert Wilders and the guy that looked like that house. Geert doesn't blame a people for many problems, but a religion: the islam. He will never go so far as to suggest to deport people or start a war against muslim countries.
Geert's lawyer, who defends him in the trail that is held against him, once advised a law student who asked him a question in a TV program, where she compared Wilders to Hitler, to go and study history instead of law.
