Geert Wilders (19 October 2010), Who Says Islam Is Totalitarian?, publisher: National Review Online (2009 interview with Jeff Jacoby)
“

I have nothing against the people. I don’t hate Muslims. But Islam is a totalitarian ideology. It rules every aspect of life — economics, family law, whatever. It has religious symbols, it has a God, it has a book — but it’s not a religion. It can be compared with totalitarian ideologies like Communism or fascism. There is no country where Islam is dominant where you have a real democracy, a real separation between church and state.
