De Ruiter analyzes the works of both PVV key figures, Mr. Wilders himself and Mr. Martin Bosma, the speaker of the Dutch Parliament, to elucidate the underlying ideology that shapes the party’s policies. The book examines the PVV’s views on Christianity, Judaism, Israel, left-wing parties, Enlightenment thinking, and, most notably, Islam and Muslims.

• Provides context and analysis of the party’s stance on Islam and its impact on Dutch society
