Dutch Lawmaker Goes on Trial for Views on Islam?

It's just another example of the extremes people will go through to protect religion.

I don't necessarily agree with what the guy has to say, but he has the right to express himself.

Onces again religion taking away a person's basic rights.

Cheesecake94: Well said. Too many people associate extremists with an entire religion.

We should be allowed freedom to say what we want and it was not generated against a nation or people but a religion that has done some very bad things. He told about 9/11? That was true.

We are suppose to hid the facts to make them sound better?

Giving in to them will not stop the violence. Look at Iraq, has the killing stopped there? Everywhere in the world you see muslims you see killing and hate.

Free speech obviously! It's only logical to investigate the Quran if Islamic terrorists quote passages from it before their attacks, and still quote from it after their attacks. If a Buddhist quoted verses from the Dalai Lama before committing a terrorist attack I would want to investigate the teachings of the Dalai Lama to determine if the teachings promote terrorism, it's only logical. In other words Geert Wilders did the obvious, to determine whether or not the terrorists were in fact following Muhammad's teachings. He came up with the conclusion that they were following his example and that the Quran promotes terrorism. He then voiced his findings, much to the dislike of Muslims. The Europeans accusing Geert of racism (and of using his logic), of not being politically correct, haven't investigated the Quran like he has, instead they're trying to hold up their Humanist ideologies, that of being intolerant of intolerance.

All I know is if it was against Judaism, he's labeled an anti-semite and a racist.

If it's against Christianity he's bashed by the mainstream media.

If it's Islam, it's okay because they are seen as taking over the country and have no respect.

He is a white supremacist skinhead who thought it was OK to attack another part of the population.

It really does not matter if it is Jews or Muslims.

It is still advocating hate based on race, religion or ethnicity.

Stuff like he did does not play well in Europe.

the man is a racist and he should be trialed as such. its a good thing theyre finally hauling his ass to court. being a parlementarian doesnt give anyone the right to be a bigot. besides, the man is honestly never heared on anything remotely important such as education, the economic crisis or the climate crisis.

Outrageous, he should be acquitted immediately. Do you see those signs? How can anyone claim Islam is a religion of peace?

As Brian C. ok. suggested, "purely remark and costs from the Koran." this is what's interior the action picture "Fitna", that Geert Wilders produced. If anybody had paid interest to the action picture, you would be wanting the Islamists out of your u . s . a . too. there is not any longer something interior the Koran it incredibly is powerful for us Kafirs.

The Dutch lawmaker ought to have known better than that! You don't fool around with Islam!

they are not muslims... they WILL go to hell..."freedom can go to hell"? how can they say that if they are Muslim, and Islam means peace and love ahh, i hate how people like them are why my religion is the least respected today. All OF AL QAEDA WILL O TO HELL, and so will the TALIBAN
