Shame on the Netherlands: Wilders to go on trial January 2010
It’s the Dutch government that should be on trial….for cowardice, corruption and treason. But the Dutch people are getting the picture and showing increasing support for Wilders. If there were a general election tomorrow, he would win.
“The Dutch government is faced with a dilemma…a situation requiring a choice between equally undesirable alternatives...convict Geert and destroy free speech or acquit Geert and face a never-ending flurry of Muslim violence…”
The best defence is offence:
Geert Wilders wants radical imams to testify. Geert Wilders is considering to call “radical imams and other idiots’ as witnesses in the process of his January 20th trial, he says on Saturday in the De Telegraaf newspaper The Freedom party leader wants to make his trial the ‘trial of the century .’ “I want Islam on trial and not me.” More>>
Appeasement and dhimmitude: the Dutch authorities are hoping that if they throw Wilders to the wolves, they will stem the tide of the jihad and Islamization in the Netherlands.
Free Speech Death Watch Update: “Breaking: Geert Wilders on trial Janary [sic] 2010,” from Klein Verzet, September 12, via JW:
Breaking news from the Netherlands. Dutch biggest newspaper calls it the trial of the century (NL), because the government today announced it is going to trial Geert Wilders on January 20th (See also: the earlier court rulling that made it possible). The timing is remarkable, because it’s just before the municipality elections, a busy time for the politician.
Busy or not, Geert Wilder [sic]Â will have to defend himself in criminal court for speaking out against Islam.
So via multiculturalism and political correctness, Sharia norms are now being enforced by the Dutch secular authorities.
The charges brought against him are: racism and hate mongering (no actual hate crimes have ever been connected to him, his political movement or his speeches).
Renowned criminal trial lawyer Bram Moszkowicz will represent him durring [sic] the trial. It’s still unknown what his defense will look like. But in today’s paper Wilders says he might call radical Imams and other idiots to the stand in support of his defense.
“I find it horrible that I’m prosecuted” says Wilders. “This is a political trial and it’s sad that I’m prosecuted as a criminal for only voicing my political opinions. I hope free speech will prevail. [But] I am convinced that the trial can only lead to my acquittal”….
