"After months of media hype about what would happen if a xenophobic extremist like Wilders won the election, it’s not surprising that any other outcome was so quickly heralded as a victory"
"Xenophobic" implies that you hate someone or something irrationally. I think all of the violence we see in the name of Islam (and the majority of its leaders not denouncing it, especially in places like Israel) is a pretty rational and logical fear.

This, and of course we need to take into perspective the fact that the Netherlands have experienced high-profile islamic-inspired terrorism continuously for over a decade. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofstad_Network https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofstad_Network
