Default Geert Wilders cleared of all charges

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-13883331

All German newspapers I looked into were unable to report this in a neutral and objective manner, but turned it into offensive name-calling and "reminders" of charges that by content of their claims simply never were true, saying that Wilders were a blind "hater", a "discriminator", or turned into a fascist himself when brandmarking Islam as a totalitarian ideology, or now were allowed to run around and offend people.

The thought police now considers to bring him to the European Human Rights Court. It seems they assume that it will be more biased than the Dutch court. I wonder why?

I am not a Wilders fan, but am glad he is cleared.
1-0 for freedom of speech against fundamentalism.

That's certainly a move in the right direction.

That the man was ever brought to trial, was a giant step, in the wrong direction.
