This is really creepy stuff. First of all, Islam is not a race-as far as I know, people from all different backgrounds and colours (ie: "races") are welcome into the fold as 'reverts'. So calling this 'racism' is just preposterous, and another example of how language has been corrupted by the Left to serve in a totalitarian fashion-as a tool to prosecute people for their thoughts, and not actually for their actions.
But read the actual charges:
"The indictment charges Wilders with insulting Muslims by describing Islam as a fascist religion and calling for the banning of the Koran, which he likens to Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf"
He is also accused of inciting hatred and discrimination for stating Moroccan youths were violent, calling for the Koran to be banned and for Dutch borders to be closed to all "non-western immigrants", as well as for advocating an end to what he terms "the Islamic invasion".
Wilders, 46, faces up to one year in jail if convicted.
I thought Europe consisted of democracies?
Read it again-there are criminal charges pending against a politician-a public figure (although certainly private citizens are not exempt from these trumped up Orwellian charges) for the following:
-'insulting' something/someone
-calling for a ban on something
-allegedly 'discriminating' against something by stating an opinion and by wanting to ban a book and have tighter border controls
These charges are absolutely terrifying.
Nobody in North America should ignore this story. Even if you don't agree with Wilders-you have to realize that the speech being censored next could be yours. You could face jail time too, just for having an opinion about something.
