" One of the most popular politicians in the Netherlands said Friday the country's democracy is under threat and called for a five-year halt to non-Western immigration in the wake of the killing of a Dutch filmmaker by a suspected Muslim radical.
'We are a Dutch democratic society. We have our own norms and values,' right-wing lawmaker Geert Wilders told The Associated Press in an interview. 'If you chose radical Islam you can leave, and if you don't leave voluntarily then we will send you away. This is the only message possible.'"
