"Sanity Alert: Dutch Judge clears Geert Wilders of spreading hate
If it is spreading hate simply to show how jihadists use the Qur'an and other Islamic texts to justify violence, then we will have no way to resist those jihadists. "Judge clears Geert Wilders of spreading hate," from Radio Netherlands (thanks to Sr. Soph):
The Hague - A judge has ruled in a case against MP Geert Wilders brought by the Dutch Islamic Federation that Mr Wilders is not guilty of spreading hate, although his statements are provocative.
The Islamic Federation wanted a judgement on the Freedom Party's leader after he compared the Qur'an to Mein Kampf. However the judge ruled that members of parliament have to be able to express their opinions strongly.
If jihadists didn't use the Qur'an like Mein Kampf, it wouldn't occur to anyone to make this comparison. No one is comparing the Bhagavad Gita to Mein Kampf.
The democrat party D66 want the Lower House to investigate exactly what Mr Wilders told the cabinet about his film Fitna. Two ministers and Mr Wilders disagreed during a Lower House debate on the anti-Qur'an film last week about what was said during a meeting in November.
A record of the meeting says the ministers were concerned about the end of the film in which Mr Wilders said he intended to tear out pages of the Qur'an and burn them in the fireplace. Mr Wilders accused the ministers of lying. D66 leader Alexander Pechtold says it is bad for the image of politics when an MP and the cabinet get into a situation like this.
Last week the conservative VVD called for an investigation.
