These two men have something in common besides a big bottle of peroxide: Christianity. Or, perhaps more correctly, religion as a means of maintaining power and a position in the far right wing. Bill Keller (left) is a salesman turned insider trader turned jailbird turned television evangelist. And Geert Wilders (right) is a Dutch Freedom and Democracy party politician turned Group Wilders politician turned "Freedom" party politician. Both men fuel their existence by attacking Islam and advocating for things like banning the Qur'an and taxing Burqua-clad women while they peddle the Islam-as-religion-of-hate-and-death bigotry.Keller and Wilders both sport bleach-blond hair, which is a curious similarity given the above. They each strive for pure whiteness of the follicle and subsequently go to great lengths to achieve such "purity." Of course both are on television and are in the public eye so image is everything. They want to stand out. But why blond? Perhaps the extreme brightness and lightness on their crowns helps them better piggyback onto the God connection. And pumping up the volume on their hair is a gesture meant to reach up to get them even closer to the heavens. Pure. Clean. White. Light. Right. Divine. The world is mine.
