Horowitz’ Center has more than $5 million annual revenues and finances the weblog Jihad Watch and islam criticus Robert Spencer who is full time active in support of Geert Wilders and financial sponsoring.

Another American mainstay of Wilders, conservative Daniel Pipes of the pro-Israeli Middle East Forum, has an annual income in 2008 of about $ 235,000. Pipes, who opposes a Palestinian state and campaigns for a military attack on Iran, he said last year a sum of six figures’ for Wilders was picked up in the U.S.

Horowitz and Pipes are on the right flank of the Republicans, but agree that Wilders on Islam has outmaneuvered them to the right. They say there are various statements of Wilders on Islam they would never repeat in the U.S., but use Geert Wilders in practice as an agitator for their pro-Israel activism, the struggle against Islamic extremism is an important part.
