The Dutch group says it had no intention of disputing the Holocaust, but wanted instead to highlight what it described as double standards in free speech.

The only double standard I see is that nobody is threatening to behead the group for creating their cartoon.

Do the Dutch have a thing which restricts the government from restricting such cartoons ?

I have never heard of it so the Dutch government is within its rights to restrict anything they like.

If the Dutch want to change I would suggest http://topics.law.cornell.edu/constitution

No thanks, think we'll be fine, like we've been for the last couple of centuries.

Skybird is agreeing with August?

Actually I agree with August more often than you or he maybe imagines, although differences also remains.

Hah.
Personally I just as often agree with Skybird as I used to agree with OneToughHerring (what happened to him anyway?). If anyone here is a political anomaly....

you should have been here last year at the yearly commemoration of the Battle of Arnhem. With IIRC some 1000 parachutists jumping, it must have looked about the same as almost 66 years ago. One hell of a show
