Iran's Veiled Threat to Geert Wilders

Iran has warned the Dutch government that if it does not ban Geert Wilders' upcoming movie, Fitna, that violence will ensue. Not only that, they suggest the Dutch government can ban the movie under the 1948 Human Rights declaration's 29th article:

that individual rights may be limited in the interest of respecting other people's freedoms and "meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society."
Well lets ban the koran and hadiths under the 1948 Human Rights declaration since terrorists inspired by these texts cause violence in democratic societies.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Iran warned on Tuesday that an anti-Quran film by a maverick right-wing Dutch lawmaker would "breed violence" and said the Dutch government could ban it based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Mehdi Safari cited the 1948 Human Rights declaration's 29th article that individual rights may be limited in the interest of respecting other people's freedoms and "meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society."

Wilders, known for his anti-Islam rhetoric, says the film will depict the Quran as a "fascist book" that can be used by extremists to incite violence and which preaches the oppression of women and homosexuals.

"Freedom of speech is not unlimited," Tehran's ambassador to the Netherlands, Bozorgmehr Ziaran told a small group of reporters at the Iranian Embassy. The film, he added, "would just breed violence."
