Geert Wilders getting charged for "hate-speech"

[SteamWake]

Welcome to the PC world.

I always like to reply in one sentence or less.

He compared mein kampf with the koran and Islam with naziisme.
Lets wait for the judge to decide.

[Rockstar]

whoever made that comparison isn't very far off the mark

Hitler had his struggle, Islam has theirs. One calls it Mein Kampf the other jihad. I know they each have similar goals.

[Tchocky]

Stupid charge to make.
The guy himself comes across as the usual airhorn-type. Don't give him the free publicity of a trial. And a probable acquittal.

So do I - on the basis of the obvious levels of aggressive expansionism, totalitarianism and superiority delusion to be found in both ideologies. And neither Wilders nor me are the first to point at these parallels. Let's charge me too, then!? Under the new EU laws, certainly.

Ah, I forgot, I already received death threats by letters some longer time ago, when I was enaged in a civil rights movement against a local mosque expansion. Maybe that rates as the same like "being charged" - for some stoneage apemen it surely does. It surely can't be a hate crime to issue death threats. Police back then told me if I press on with insisting on an investigation, I might get trouble with the BKA checking into my assumed anti-constitutional activities. Hallelujah.

P.S. I do not know Wilders any further than in context with that movie (which really was relatively lame, considering the fuss in advance around it). I do not judge or assess his other activities, since I do not know them.

I guess in the near future, we may just get another wave of European migrants yearning to breathe free headed our way. That is if we can maintain our free Constitutional Republic that is....

I wonder what would happen if someone in the Netherlands took certain quotes of the Bible and of the Quran and went with them to the courts to request a process for "promotion of hate and discrimination" :hmm: Using the very same yardstick applied to Mr. Wilders, I guess many "holy" books would get banned very quickly

... In effect, Wilders is being prosecuted for stating the obvious. It is telling that in deploring his comparison of Islamic extremism to Nazism, the court pointedly omits to mention that Wilders has produced ample evidence for the charge. In Fitna, his March 2008 film about Islamic radicalism, Wilders included images of Muslim demonstrators wielding placards declaring “God bless Hitler,” calling for “another Holocaust” and paying tribute to Adolf Hitler. In another scene from the film, a 3-year-old girl is seen reciting Koranic verses calling Jews “apes and swine.” When Wilders likens the Koran to Hitler’s Mein Kampf – yet another criminal offense, according to the Dutch court – it is this observable context that he has in mind.

But one need not take Wilders’s “biased” word for it. As even the most casual news reader would have noticed, pro-Nazi imagery and anti-Semitic incitement have become a staple of Muslim demonstrations across the world At a January 2001 rally for Hamas and Hezbollah in Amsterdam, Muslim protestors shouted what has become a familiar slogan in the Netherlands: “Hamas, Hamas, Joden aan het gas” (Hamas, Hamas, all Jews to the gas). In Copenhagen, Denmark, earlier this month, Muslim demonstrators’ chants of “Alla-hu Akbar!” were punctuated with “Heil Hilter!” salutes and calls for the deaths of Jews. Similar examples are legion. When a prominent Dutch lawyer praised the court’s decision this week as “a happy day for all followers of Islam who do not want to be tossed on the garbage dump of Nazism,” he missed the point entirely. No one has done more to make Wilders’s parallels between Nazism and Islam plausible than Muslims themselves.







Nevermind the signs they display and the words they speak they only want to move into your neigborhood and be friendly

Indeed, at least to a lesser extent. Here's one example that was ongoing for awhile...

http://www.cbc.ca/news/story/2007/12...-macleans.html

However, (for now at least) the complaint was eventually rejected by all human rights tribunals before which the complaint was brought; the tribunals decided (rightly, I believe) that there was an insufficient level of "contempt" and "hatred" expressed in the original article; only an academic opinion. I only hope that at least this level of sanity prevails in the future for our nation.

BTW - I believe if one searched with various combinations of "Muslims" "Lawsuit" and "MacLean's" on CBC, one will find various news articles and debates on the issue. I do not have the time myself, however.
