'Substantial' Dutch terror risk


news.bbc.co.uk

The Netherlands has raised its terrorism alert level to "substantial", partly due to the expected release of an anti-Islam film.
It is the second-highest alert level, although the justice ministry said "there is no concrete evidence" that the country faced possible attacks.

The move comes as far-right Dutch MP Geert Wilders prepares to air his film, which has already angered Muslims.

Mr Wilders has said the film is about the Koran, but gave few details.

The terror level being raised I don't think is the point to note here, although be it is important. I think the point here is that the film is being released despite the potential terror threats. This is what free speech is and with out people who challenge those who use violence to silence the free speech there would be none.

I have preaching practically since I became self aware that censorship is the beginning of tryanny. And that surrendering to violence or threats of violence only begats more of the same.

Seems some [make that most] religious groups fail to grasp the concept that one persons theology is another persons belly laugh.
