Apparently Geert Wilders is not alone in the fight for his country. Had this been in the Untied Kingdom, the leftists would have probably tried to disbar the judge for racism…
Amsterdam – All Dutch attorneys, including Muslims, should rise when a judge enters a court room, Dutch Justice Minister Ernst Hirsch Ballin told Dutch parliament on Tuesday. Hirsch Ballin said the Dutch Council for Jurisprudence felt that rising for a judge is “the common way to show respect for the court and legal authority.”
The minister was responding to a question posed by legislator Henk Kamp (Liberals), who inquired about a news report which said a Rotterdam court had made an agreement with a Muslim attorney that he could remain seated when a judge enters the courtroom.
Mohammed Enait, who was sworn in as an attorney last month, said his religion prohibited him from rising for other people. Enait has remained seated as the judge entered.
Last week the Rotterdam court decided that although the : behavioral code requires attorneys to rise when a judge enters the court, exceptions could be made “in extraordinary situations” such as that of Enait.
Hirsch Ballin told parliament that the Dutch Council for Jurisprudence would inform all involved parties of its position that no exceptions could be made.
It is a small insignificant step, I know, but it is a step none the less, not kowtowing to an attorney practicing DUTCH LAW who does not want to abide by DUTCH CUSTOM
