R to @RookmakerDorien: Mr. Wilders’s personal life isn’t all benign domesticity. He has lived in safe houses under police protection since the first of many threats to his life, in 2004. “I lost my personal freedom 19 years ago,” he says. “I’ve lived in [repurposed] prison cells and army barracks.” There have been numerous fatwas calling for his assassination, “ordering Muslims, including those who live in the Netherlands, to come and find me, even in my home, and to cut my throat, and my wife’s throat.” (Mrs. Wilders is Jewish and Hungarian.) Those threats were especially menacing given the assassinations of politician Pim Fortuyn in 2002 and documentary filmmaker Theo van Gogh in 2004.
