Dutch Supreme Court Rules Geert Wilders Must Stand Trial for Insulting Islam

Criticism is hate, oh yes, Thank God for Religion. I'm just glad that religions all over the world are collapsing. People are waking up to science and gradually becoming anti-ideologues.

"Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death." Those were the words of a frail old Baptist preacher just before he was whipped to death with the cat-of-nine-tails for preaching Jesus Christ without the King's license. Patrick Henry witnessed the scourging and used those words as the close of his famous speech two days later at Richmond, Virginia. Liberalism--in their misdirected search for equality of outcome--is destroying the United States and the world. They are--in effect--taking a Sharpie and drawing a line on our necks and the words, CUT HERE.

“Plato argues for the necessity of communal property and wives, since only under these conditions will the citizens take joy in and grieve over the same things. In other words, he considers the communality of property and the abolition of the family as means for achieving equality. He regards equality, however, not in the usual sense of equality of rights or opportunities, but as identity of behavior, as the equalization of personalities. Both these traits--the abolition of private property and of the family as a means to achieve equality, and this special understanding of equality--run through the majority of socialist teachings...Proceeding from a critique of a given society, accusing it of injustice, inequality and lack of freedom, socialism proclaims--in the systems where it is expressed with the greatest consistency--a far greater injustice, inequality and slavery...The usual understanding of "equality," when applied to people, entails equality of rights and sometimes equality of opportunity. But what is meant in all these cases is the equalization of external conditions which do not touch the individuality of man. In socialist ideology, however, the understanding of equality is akin to that used in mathematics, i.e., this is in fact identity, the abolition of differences in behavior as well as in the inner world of the individuals constituting society. From this point of view, a puzzling and at first sight contradictory property of socialist doctrines becomes apparent. They proclaim the greatest possible equality, the destruction of hierarchy in society and at the same time a strict regimentation of all of life, which would be impossible without absolute control and an all-powerful bureaucracy which would engender an incomparably greater inequality.” Igor Shafarevich

But Marxist ideals of forced equality can only be enforced by a government with totalitarian powers, and will thus inevitably lead to a totalitarian society. There is no “enlightened Marxism,” and the idea that there is has ruined more lives than probably and other ideology in modern history. Marxism is an organized crime against humanity.” Fjordman

"Liberalism--in their misdirected search for equality of outcome--is destroying the United States and the world. They are--in effect--taking a Sharpie and drawing a line on our necks and the words, CUT HERE."

Sir,I sadly agree with each and every word of this thought.Liberals aren't attracted
by the truth,what per se is already a big issue,but when one of them becomes the PRESIDENT of the most powerful nation on Earth (for the time being),the problem is,indeed,HUGE.
When Bill Clinton was in office,I had no idea of what an American Liberal was...I
thought it could be just a tree-hugger,naïve,global-warming-type of guy...NOW my
assessment is much more complete.On top of all those "qualities" above mentioned,I
regard American Liberals as DANGEROUS and RECKLESS.

The only thing that Geert Wilders should be tried for is for being the cause of too much cheering by the people that see him pass wherever he goes. As for insulting islam? I think you guys probably know by now that I'd publicly piss on the koran and shit on the picture of mohammad if I thought I wouldn't be arrested for public indecency. What's to respect about islam anyway?????

Yeah that's messed up.

Well lets use our free speech while we still can.

Check out my cartoons of the day.

Since when is freedom of speech "far right?" Freedom of speech is the cornerstone of liberty, i.e.: real liberalism. Americans today who cling to the Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights and Constitution are not "Right Wing" they are Middle Wing. Only the Left Wing (Marxist philosophy of State ownership of individual property and liberty) and the confused American Middle call such Americans "Right Wing."

This is seriously depressing.

So Muslims issue death threats and force Wilders into hiding, but that's OK. Yet Wilders, because he quotes from the Quran and has the guts to be honest about Islam, must stand trial?

This is a bad day for democracy.

On another depressing note, Iran has just announced it has test fired a missile that can hit Israel, and also US bases in the region. Obama, though, has made it clear to Netanyahu that Israel is on her own and there is no support for any pre-emptive strike:

Tabatha,this is the gravest consequence of the Politically Correct TSUNAMI that
uprooted all vestiges of common sense,self-respect and sheer survival instinct of
the societies hit by its relentless waves.

Democracy is good,but it's also a WEAKNESS,for Hitler was ELECTED and
shortly after that he snuffed out the mechanisms which upon Democracy
works.

Islam is following suit.It will use and abuse of Democracy on their host nations
and by sheer numbers will eventually reach power.Once in there,they'll
begin jeopardizing every little aspect of social life.

This is WHY Mr.Wilders made those documentaries,for he's willing to RESIST
the muslim infestation from taking his country from their rightful owners.

Please,Tabatha,I'd like to know if you've bought the DVD " FAREWELL ISRAEL";
It's absolutely terrifying on its truthfulness.WATCH IT.

Hi JEWHAWK:

I think I've seen that being advertised. I have no doubt that Israel is in the gravest danger at present and not least because Obama is hellbent on selling out the Jewish state in order to try and bribe Iran to shelve its nuclear project.

I think the only answer is for Americans who support Israel to get together and organise some MASS protest. Obama won't want to alienate a large number - read this post for more info on how America is freezing out Israel in terms of acquiring much needed technology to make a pre-emptive strike on Iran:

I do NOT consider Mr.wilders as being a "FAR-RIGHT" politician.He's
definitely not in the same league with Jean-Marie LePen.Mr.Wilders
is a democracy champion,a fighter for Dutch People's rights to keep
their culture and way of life.

Exactly in order to defend his rights he was a TRUE PATRIOT to make the
movies which portrays Islam in its true colors.Mr.Wilders did
NOT invent anything for he based his documentaries upon that
satanic handbook called KORAN.

The Dutchmen knows that.By now they MUST be aware of the
hideous,death cult-like sect Islam really is and not a "religion
of peace" as many IDIOTS are saying knowing that it isn't the
truth.

The truth is that Geert Wilders is a HERO of the Western Civilization,
for at least he's trying to do something,to make a difference while
others keep quiet out of fear,cowardice or because they were BRIBED
by the Saudi deep anf filthy pockets.

Let's help ... donate $$$ to his cause. Top left hand side you can donate via paypal or credit card ... http://www.geertwilders.nl ... I'm sending $100.00 on Friday. Geert is a brilliant guy, I'm sure he'll kick some butt.

Geert, come on over to San Diego. We'll fight anyone to protect your freedom of speech. Even the liberal nutjobs here.

Wilders is not far-right, but far-correct. This trial might prove to be a double-edged sword, for a man of Wilders' intelligence, having reason on his side, will acquit himself well and will surely illuminate the entire problem with his radiant logic. It might prove to be the rallying point for the forces of sanity.

Is this free speech or is it somehow different?

The Islamic dogs are taking a page out of this play book.



The conviction of the French extreme right-wing politician and leader of the Front National, Jean-Marie Le Pen. In 1987, in a RTL-Le Monde television programme, he called the gas chambers "a detail in the history of the Second World War;" a statement that caused great unrest in France and elsewhere. Le Pen was convicted by the court in Nanterre of the "banalisation" of war crimes, and was ordered to pay damages and legal costs.

The ruling of the Supreme Court of the Netherlands in 1997 in the case against the Belgian Siegfried Verbeke. Verbeke’s revisionist mail order company Vrij Historisch Onderzoek ("Free Historical Research") distributed unsolicited pamphlets to members of the Dutch public in which the existence of the Holocaust was denied. The Supreme Court ruled that these publications were gravely insulting to people of Jewish origin, and were punishable under anti-discrimination legislation. Verbeeke was given a € 2,250 fine and a six month suspended prison sentence.
*

The conviction in Austria of the British author David Irving on 20 February 2006 by the court in Vienna, where he was sentenced to a three-year prison sentence. During the trial Irving stated for the first time that he had changed his opinion, and that the Holocaust must really have taken place. In December 2006 the sentence was reduced to a suspended prison term, and Irving was released on parole.
*

The conviction of Ernst Zündel by a German court in February 2007. Zündel, a publisher who also ran an extensive revisionist website, was extradited from Canada to Germany after he had unsuccessfully attempted to claim political asylum there. He was sentenced to the maximum prison term of five years under the law against the spreading of the Auschwitzlüge.

These are only a few examples from around the world. The Legal Page of the Web dossier on Holocaust denial includes a number of rulings in legal proceedings against Holocaust denial in the Netherlands, as well as several pronouncements by international institutions. The Legal Page of the Web dossier "Publicity about Anne Frank and her Diary" also covers rulings in cases where the authenticity of the diary of Anne Frank was called into dispute.

“By His order and about His business, they are His property whose workmanship they are, made to last during His, not one another's pleasure: and being furnished with like faculties, sharing all in one community of nature, there cannot be supposed any subordination among us, that may authorize us to destroy one another, as if we were made for one another's uses, as the inferior ranks of creatures are for our's...The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, which obliges everyone: and reason which is that law, teaches all mankind who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty (freedom to speak) or possessions…“ John Locke

Beej: "having reason on his side..."

Reason is the ability to see and accept self-evident truth, scientific or moral. Freedom to speak, according to our Founding Fathers, is self-evidently a God-given human right. It follows, and is also self-evident, that an individual's freedom to speak does not derive from a group of other men, i.e.: government. An individual's freedom to speak (without fear of property confiscation, imprisonment, torture or death) is reasonable because it is self-evident moral truth; denial of an individual's freedom of speech is unreasonable as it is self-evidently unjust, immoral, tyrannical and evil.

Absolutely Beej !I believe the prosecutors will get egg on their face and the kudos he'll gain
may make his drive for the premiership unstoppable.
This delicious thought induces an immediate Pavlovian response.
Don't forget the party Jewhawk!

I'd like to go myself to the Netherlands,give at least 500 bucks to Mr.wilder's
Party and take part in a demonstration to support him,but unfortunately I
can't.

I'll try and donate money through credit card,though.Everyone should
follow suit.It's a matter of EXTREME importance for all of us.

I, too, am hoping Wilders is able to turn the tables on his accusers in this trial and turn this into a defeat for Islam.
