Erm no, it's a restriction on how you say it, not on what you say. Much like on subsim it's illegal to say "**ck off" while saying "get lost" isn't. Are we Subsimmers therefore restricted in our speech?
Similarly, as far as my knowledge and understanding of the Dutch law goes, in the Netherlands it would be legal to say "I think muslims should be killed" but not to say "you should kill muslims" as the latter incites people to actually go out and kill people.

Also, Wilders isn't convicted of anything yet. The trial he lost was about if he could be tried.
