Florida: Boca Raton country club cancels Wilders keynote fearing Muslim violence

This is the type of Islamophobia that Muslims celebrate. Remember, Islam means submission, not peace. And Americans are submitting to the status of dhimmi at an alarming pace. via Safety concerns lead Boca club to cancel GOP event with Islam foe | www.palmbeachpost.com. h/t Nimrod
The Palm Beach County Republican Party will have to find another venue for a fundraiser featuring the Dutch politician and Islam critic who spoke at Sunday’s “Draw Muhammad” cartoon contest in Texas.
The local GOP booked Boca West Country Club for the $125-a-plate “Lobsterfest” dinner on Aug. 15 featuring Geert Wilders, leader of a right-wing party in the Dutch parliament. But the country club announced Thursday it has canceled the event because of safety concerns.
Wilders’ criticisms of Islam have made him a target of extremist groups. He said that “Islam and freedom are totally incompatible” in his speech at the Texas cartoon contest. Shortly after he finished, two Muslim gunmen — one of whom was the target of a federal terror probe — began an attack but were shot and killed by police.
“At the time the reservation for the dinner was made no one in management or in the catering department at Boca West knew the identity of the keynote speaker,” said Bob Locke, the country club’s chairman of the board. “Due to potential safety concerns associated with Mr. Wilders’ appearance, we have elected to cancel the reservation for this private event.”
County Republican Chairman Michael Barnett was not immediately available for comment Thursday night.
Earlier this week, Barnett said Wilders travels with his own security detail and the local GOP planned, even before the Texas event, to arrange for extra security as well.
“I’ve heard him speak before and with everything in the world going on with regards to radical Islamic terrorism, I thought it would be good to hear his perspective,” Barnett said.
