Dutch MP Geert Wilders was found not guilty of inciting hatred and discriminating against Muslims. This is a huge victory for freedom of speech and a big blow to the Islamofascists in Europe.

This is every Americans worst nightmare. It’s what you see happening throughout Europe and Canada. People being put on trial and potentially sentenced to prison for speech. Publicly espousing an opinion that government bureaucrats don’t like.

Geert Wilders, a man we have huge respect for around here, is facing just such a trial in front of a kangaroo court in the Netherlands.

The hate speech trial for Wilders began today. He could face up to a year in prison for “inciting hatred against Muslims” which is politically correct Euro-speak for telling the truth about Islam.

Here’s what Wilders said in his opening statement to the sham court:

Fortunately, Wilders now has significant support in the Netherlands. People like what he says and are tired of being pushed around by radical Muslims. They’re tired of seeing their culture taken over and destroyed by radical Islam.

Wilders was in town on 9/11 and gave a passionate speech at Ground Zero in opposition to the planned mosque there.

I posted this speech before, but here’s a high-def version of it:

SIOA and FDI held a rally today in NYC against the proposed mosque at Ground Zero. Pam Geller put the event together and a lot of people turned out. The keynote speaker was the great Geert Wilders. A man who literally risks his life back home in the Netherlands speaking out against Islam.

Here’s the speech:

Check out Pam Geller’s blog Atlas Shrugs to see extensive coverage of the rally and a ton of pictures.

Heroic Dutch MP Geert Wilders is coming to NYC to speak on 9/11 at a huge SIOA protest rally against the proposed Mosque at Ground Zero. No one in Europe has done more than Geert Wilders in speaking out against the Islamization of the West.

I’ve written quite a bit about Geert Wilders over the last couple of years. He’s one of the only people in Europe willing to speak out against the spread of Islam and the Islamization of Europe. Wilders is being prosecuted in multiple countries under absurd “hate speech” laws for speaking out against Islam. As a Dutch member of parliament he lives under constant death threats from Muslims in the Netherlands.

He was invited to speak in Britain recently and was turned away at the airport after radical Muslims threatened to overrun the British parliament if he were allowed to speak — thus proving Wilder’s point that Islam is a totalitarian ideology.

Take a listen to this magnificent speech from Geert Wilders in Los Angeles at the David Horowitz Freedom Center:

Here’s the Q & A after the speech:

Geert Wilders is a hero. He puts his life on the line every single day in his home country of Holland. Cowardly Europeans have given in and given up trying to resist the spread of Islam. Speaking out against Islam is considered hate speech in the courts and Wilders was even denied entry into Great Britain after a Muslim member of parliament threatened to unleash 10,000 Muslims onto the streets of London if he were allowed in. The hatred of Wilders stems from a short film he made which tells the truth about Islam. He shows Islam to be a totalitarian ideology much like communism or fascism. It’s a religion about total control and domination. Europe has allowed unchecked Muslim immigration for years which has created a powder keg in many countries that could ignite at any moment.

The cowardly British and French now have so many angry, radical Muslims in their countries that they don’t dare speak up about it. A combination of left-wing political correctness and classic European cowardess in the face of threats has allowed Islam to dictate the rules. Islamic Sharia courts operate in Britain with the blessings of the government. People like Geert Wilders are kept from even entering a supposedly free country like Britain because of threats by a Muslim. Wilders is facing prosecution for hate speech, while Muslims in Britain, Holland, France, and elsewhere are allowed to openly call for the murder of Jews and the destruction of America. Wilders has to live under armed guard because of the thousands of death threats he receives every single day.

There is no greater example that the whole world (particularly Europe) has gone completely mad than what is happening in the Netherlands. Dutch MP Geert Wilders is being put on trial in the Netherlands for making “anti-Islamic statements.”

Wilders made a controversial film last year highlighting the connection between Islam and terrorism (what a crazy idea) and Muslims (which the Netherlands is now full of) were predictably outraged.

Geert Wilders is the sole voice of reason in a country being destroyed from within by political correctness and appeasement. Radical Muslims are immigrating to the Netherlands and all over Europe due to lax immigration laws. Wilders thinks it may not be such a good idea to let every Tom, Dick, and Harry (or in this case Abdul, Tarique, and Mohammad) who practices Islam become a Dutch citizen and set-up shop.

The Islamization of Europe is extremely troubling and Wilders is right to speak out on it.

Geert Wilders is the dutch politician who continues to risk his life by fighting back against the spread of radical Islam. He’s the one who recently released the short movie called Fitna, that tells the truth about Islam. Radical Muslims are of course reacting to the film in the only way they know how, through violence and intimidation.

From Reuters:

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Friday condemned as “offensively anti-Islamic” a Dutch lawmaker’s film that accuses the Koran of inciting violence.

Ban acknowledged efforts by the government of the Netherlands to stop the broadcast of the film, which was launched by Islam critic Geert Wilders over the Internet, and appealed for calm to those “understandably offended by it.”

It’s a sad day when the United Nations condemns a movie for being anti-Islamic. Since when are free people not free to be anti-Islamic if they so choose? It’s strange how the world must be walk on egg shells when it comes to Islam. We must be so careful not to offend Muslims.

That’s bullsh*t and it’s one of the worst double standards on earth. I wonder if people would treat Christians as delicately if they chopped people’s heads off anytime they were offended?

Geert Wilders’s movie about the Koran is a very accurate depiction and one that free people everywhere should watch. What radical Muslims don’t seem to realize is that by calling for Wilders death, they are showing the world just how accurate the movie really is.

Dutch Lawmaker Geert Wilders finally released his short film yesterday which depicts Islam in a less than flattering light. While the depiction is indeed less than flattering it also happens to be true and accurate which radical Muslims vehemently deny.

The ironic thing is that the film depicts Islam as a violent religion that is incompatible with democracy and western ideals. It uses powerful imagery to show the murderous nature of radical Muslims and their desire to make Islam the only religion in the world.

Yet the same Muslims who are protesting the film and denying the charges made in the film are also calling for Geert Wilders to be killed.

I’m just not sure how one can claim Islam is not a violent religion while at the same time calling for the death of anyone who insults it.

Geert Wilders is absolutely correct that the spread of Islam in the west must be stopped. Anyone who cannot see the danger in allowing an ideology which calls for murder over a few cartoons to spread is simply asleep at the wheel.

The fact that LiveLeak had to remove the film from their servers hours after its release because of death threats to staff speaks for itself.
