Essentially this isn't about hate speech.
The things he is being charged with I have heard a million times from politicians and others about many other people.
Wilders is being charged - incessantly - for blasphemy. I mean, they are calling it something else, but that is what it amounts to.
Wilders to be tried for hate speech
Check out what he is up for saying.
Comparing the Koran to Mein Kampf. You hear people comparing things to Mein Kampf ALL THE TIME. I bet I could find hundreds of posts on this board
alone comparing books to Mein Kampf.
He called Huhammed a fundamentalist. Oh. That's nasty.
He said not a single additional Muslim to be allowed to enter the country.
Oh, because no one says that about any immigrant - yet I have yet to see them be taken to court for blasphemy.....er....hate for it. Be careful all
you immigrant Mexican hating Texan - that wall is ripe for you being charged with Hate......oh wait, no it isn't. Mexican isn't a RELIGION.
Let me be clear. I think that Wilders is an ass, and I wouldn't vote for him if you paid me dearly for it.
He is absolutely being pursued in the justice system for blasphemy against Islam, and if he said what he said about ANY other religion - particularly
Christianity or Judaism - he would NEVER have been charged. Ever.
