In order to help publicize what Paul said, I’ve made a transcript of the entire clip. Portions of it, especially some of the interviewer’s “questions”, were impossible to make out, and I marked those sections “inaudible”. In other parts I made educated guesses to fill in the gaps:
Paul Weston interviewed by an unidentified media outlet
Amsterdam, October 30, 2010
| 0:06 | You clearly have an agenda. | |
| 0:08 | I am telling you that what is wrong | |
| 0:10 | is inequality of gender, inequality of homophobia, | |
| 0:14 | I don’t believe homosexuals should be hung from cranes. | |
| 0:17 | I hope you don’t either. | |
| 0:20 | I don’t think young girls should have their genitalia mutilated. | |
| 0:23 | I hope you don’t believe that either. | |
| 0:26 | “What I see as people [inaudible] | |
| 0:28 | and I see gatherings of people, Nazi-saluting, | |
| 0:31 | singing about…” | |
| 0:32 | Are you seeing at the moment any Nazi salutes? | |
| 0:34 | “I never said [inaudible] — there are more media here today. | |
| 0:38 | [inaudible] right-wing extremists.” | |
| 0:40 | I don’t know… Why do you say ‘right-wing extremists’? | |
| 0:43 | “[inaudible] traditionally gather —” | |
| 0:46 | Do you not understand a very simple thing here? | |
| 0:49 | The [inaudible] is freedom. |
| 0:51 | This is nothing to do with ‘right-wing extremism’. | |
| 0:53 | This is freedom to live as we have always lived in the West. | |
| 0:58 | “[inaudible] people [inaudible] Muslims in general. | |
| 1:00 | People then [inaudible] Muslims in general.” | |
| 1:03 | We’re not talking about ‘Muslims in general’; we’re talking about Islam. | |
| 1:06 | We’re talking about the theocracy of Islam | |
| 1:08 | that does not believe in democracy. | |
| 1:11 | Man-made laws and democracy are not compatible with Islamic law. | |
| 1:16 | Period. | |
| 1:17 | We live in liberal democracies. | |
| 1:19 | You call me a ‘right-wing extremist’: | |
| 1:21 | I am telling you that I am a classical liberal | |
| 1:25 | who believes in freedom and democracy, | |
| 1:27 | and I see that threatened today. | |
| 1:30 | Which is why we are here now. | |
| 1:32 | “[inaudible] Thank you very much.” | |
| 1:33 | Thank you. |
