A good day for freedom of speech, and a good day for Geert Wilders.
Not so good for the many Muslims that have had their panties in a bunch because the thought that Geert was being a racist!
Any time you diss Islam, you are called a Racist... though Islam is not a race.
If you say anything bad about Muslims (Regardless of what they do) you are an Islamaphobe.
so seeing Mr. Wilders prevail in this decision is awesome,
not that Muslims will understand it.

Dutch far-right politician Geert Wilders has been acquitted of charges of inciting hatred against Muslims.
Mr Wilders had described Islam as "fascist", comparing the Koran to Hitler's Mein Kampf.
He insisted his statements were directed at Islam and not at Muslim believers - something which is legal under Dutch law.
Judge Marcel van Oosten told him his statements were "acceptable within the context of public debate".
"The bench finds that although gross and degenerating, it did not give rise to hatred," he said.
The verdict was greeted with applause from Mr Wilders' supporters in the public gallery.
Outside the courtroom, the 47-year-old politician said he was "incredibly happy" with the
Supporters of Geert Wilders erupted into applause in the public gallery of the court as presiding judge Marcel van Oosten acquitted the populist politician of all charges of hate speech and discrimination against Muslims.
Judges found that while some of his comments, especially his words about a "tsunami" of immigrants, had been "crude and denigrating", they were legal and a legitimate part of the country's ongoing debate over multi-culturalism.
Mr Wilders called the verdict a victory for free speech and many analysts agree that the scope of debate in this country's culture wars may have just been widened.
Mr Wilders is an enormously popular politician here and the support of his Freedom Party is crucial to the current centre-right government, which is adopting many of his anti-immigrant positions.
With the acquittal, it appears the radical views of Mr Wilders are now more mainstream in a country that for decades was viewed as one of the most liberal and tolerant in the world.
"It's not only an acquittal for me, but a victory for freedom of expression in the Netherlands," he said.

Prosecutors Ask to Drop Anti-Islam Charges Against Dutch Lawmaker Geert Wilders
Mr.Wilders has been found not guilty !
Will there be Muslim Outrage in the Netherlands?
Maybe, but they probably will be Packing their bags while they do it !
Foxnews
The criminal case against Geert Wilders appears to be unraveling.
Wilders, the controversial Dutch lawmaker and filmmaker known for his outspoken stances against Islam, was facing prosecution in his home country for allegedly inciting racial hatred. But prosecutors in the case said Friday they've asked the court to drop the charges.
The prosecutors now say that Wilders was targeting the religion, not Muslim individuals, and he has some leeway as a lawmaker to make statements about social problems, Reuters reported.
Earlier this month, Wilders appealed for freedom of expression and then exercised his right to silence as the trial began, at a time when his popularity and influence in the Netherlands are near all-time highs.

Dutch anti-Islam lawmaker on trial for inciting hate
The trial of Geert Wilders is finally underway .
It will be a war of words , One mans against hundreds of radical Islamist whackos who are sending Mr. Wilders death threats for his Beliefs ?
Do you think the death threats will stop IF he is found Guilty ?
(Reuters) - Dutch anti-Islamist politician Geert Wilders, who plays a controversial but pivotal role in the formation of a new Dutch government, appeared in court on Monday charged with inciting hatred against Muslims.
Wilders, who has 24-hour police guard because of death threats he has received, is charged on three counts of inciting hate and discrimination against Muslims in comments to the media and for insulting Muslims by comparing the Islamic faith to Nazism.
"I have said what I have said and I will not take one word back," Wilders said at the start of the hearing as he told the court he would invoke his right to remain silent.
The presiding judge said Wilders has been accused by others of avoiding engaging in debate and that it appeared he was doing the same again today. "The fact that we will keep asking you questions is not to pester you," the judge said.
Wilders' lawyer said the judge's comments could be construed as bias, prompting the court to adjourn until 6 a.m. ET so that new judges could be put in place to hear the defense's concerns.

Dutch close in on government with anti-Islam party backing
Geert "The Man" Wilders , is ready to stir things up in the Dutch Parliament , Once the Coalition of Minority Parties takes over !
(Reuters) - Pushing an austerity agenda, two right-leaning Dutch parties agreed Friday to have talks to form a minority government with support from an anti-Islam party five months after the last government collapsed.
The minority government -- a rarity in Dutch politics -- would include the Liberal Party (VVD), which narrowly won June 9 elections after a broader government collapsed over the Afghan military mission, and the Christian Democrats (CDA).
The Freedom Party (PVV), which wants to stop Muslim immigration and ban the Koran in the Netherlands, has agreed to back the minority government in the Dutch parliament, leader Geert Wilders said on Dutch NOS Radio 1.
The Christian Democrats had resisted forming a majority government with the PVV because of its hardline stance on Islam.
But Christian Democratic leader Maxime Verhagen said he was convinced the CDA and VVD could reach a pact that would do justice to CDA principles of freedom of religion and education.
"At the same time it is possible to come to a stable political cooperation which can have PVV's support," he told Dutch radio.

Surge for Dutch anti-Islam Freedom Party
It is Probably a safe bet that Muslims within the netherlands Will soon be facing a lot more Bans than they ever have .
Mr Wilders has campaigned to stop the "Islamisation of the Netherlands".
He wants the Koran banned, and has suggested a tax on headscarves worn by Muslim women.
BBC
A Dutch anti-Islam party has more than doubled its seats in parliament in a national vote, though it is unclear if it will take part in a coalition.
Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders said he wanted to be part of government.
The election saw the centre-right Liberal Party (VVD) emerging as the largest party, one seat ahead of the centre-left Labour Party.
The Christian Democrat party of outgoing Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende suffered a big defeat.
Weeks of coalition negotiations are expected to follow the election.
With more than 99% of votes counted, the VVD had 31 of 150 seats, while Labour had 30.
As the party with the most seats, VVD leader Mark Rutte could now become the first prime minister from his political camp since World War I.
Headscarf tax
The unexpected big winner was the anti-Islam Freedom Party, the PVV, which took its number of seats from nine in the last parliament to 24 - its best-ever finish.
The campaign had been dominated by a debate over the economy, which was thought to have eclipsed immigration as an election issue.
Many would not view the Freedom Party as an acceptable partner in a coalition.
Its leader, Geert Wilders, faces a criminal trial later this year on charges of inciting hatred and discrimination with his anti-Islamic film Fitna.
It is expected that the most likely coalition would be a left-right combination, known as a Purple Coalition - with the Liberals, Labour, and the smaller Green Left and Liberal Democrats.
But coalition talks can take weeks.
But the strong showing for the Freedom Party, led by the controversial Geert Wilders, is a sign that immigration was still a powerful theme, correspondents say.
Mr Wilders has campaigned to stop the "Islamisation of the Netherlands".
He wants the Koran banned, and has suggested a tax on headscarves worn by Muslim women.
"Nobody in The Hague can bypass the PVV anymore," he said on Thursday, AFP news agency reported. "We want to be part of the new government."

Wilders has been charged over remarks comparing the Quran to Hitler's "Mein Kampf" and calling for it to be banned in the Netherlands. He has become one of the country's leading politicians by giving a voice to anti-immigrant sentiment.
Presiding Judge Jan Moors assured Wilders on Wednesday he would receive a fair trial.
Supporters outside the court said Wilders' prosecution is an assault on freedom of speech.

Hate speech charges widen against Geert Wilders
The hate speech charges against Geert Wilders have been widen to include inciting hatred towards Moroccans and non-Western ethnic minorities.
The hate speech charges against Geert Wilders didn't make sense in the beginning and the lates charges to be tacked on don't make any sense either.
Radio Netherlands
The charges against far-right MP Geert Wilders have been extended to include inciting hatred towards Moroccans and non-Western ethnic minorities, de Volksrant newspaper reports.
Up to now the Freedom Party leader has been charged with inciting hatred against Muslims through his remarks in the media and his anti-Islam film Fitna. Mr Wilders has compared the Qur’an to Hitler’s Mein Kampf, and called for it to be banned.
However, the public prosecutor’s office has now decided to widen the charges, based in part on Mr Wilders response in a 2006 interview when asked what he would do if he came to power in the Netherlands: ‘The same day the borders would be closed to all non-Western immigrants.’ Mr Wilders has also expressed this view in parliament.

UK court reverses Home Office's ban on Geert Wilders
In Febuary of 2009 the UK Home Office, at the time under Jacqie Smith, banned Geert Wilders from entering the UK to screen his short film Fitna. The Home Office stated that Geert Wilders poised a threat to social harmony. Lord Ahmed, Britain's only muslim Lord, threated 10,000 angry muslims in front of parliament if Geert Wilders was allowed to screen Fitna.
Finally justice has prevailed. A UK court has overturned the Home Office's entry ban for Geert Wilders. Now Britain needs to reverse the reverse the entry ban on Michael Savage. BBC

The Home Office said it was disappointed, and would decide in "due course" whether to fight the ruling.
A spokesman said: "We are disappointed by the court's decision. The government opposes extremism in all its forms.

Geert Wilders to be the next Dutch PM?
Whether you agree with Wilders are not, he is gaining popularity because he is one of the only politicians that is openly talking about the islamist threat. Israel National News
(IsraelNN.com) The Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV) led by Geert Wilders is leading both of the nation's major opinion polls. While the party currently holds only nine seats of the 150 seats in the Dutch Lower House Parliament, both the Synovate Political Barometer and pollster Maurice de Hond say the party stands to be the largest in Parliament following the next national elections.
A Synovate poll released Wednesday shows PVV in a tight race with the Christian Democratic Alliance (CDA), which currently holds 41 seats. If elections were held this week, both parties would win 32 seats, Synovate pollsters found.
Maurice de Hond's polls show PVV winning roughly 32 seats as well. A third poll, the TNS NIPO, shows PVV winning 28 seats to 24 for the CDA. If PVV were to win the plurality of Parliament seats, Wilders would be called to assemble the Netherlands' next ruling coalition.

Geert Wilders leads Dutch polls
Thanks to Britain refusing entry to Geert Wilders because he would 'harm social harmony', his party is now leading the polls in the Netherlands. Let's hope the Dutch are going to the polls soon. TelegraphMr Wilders has benefited from the publicity provided by Dutch and international headlines that followed a decision last month to ban him from showing his anti-Muslim film, Fitna, in the House of Lords.
His attempt to enter Britain, his detention and subsequent deportation, following an order by Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary, have made the Dutch MP into a free speech martyr and celebrity in the Netherlands.
New opinion polling now puts Mr Wilders ahead of the Christian Democrats, who lead a coalition government.

Geert Wilders refused entry to Britain
Wow, Britain really is rushing to become an islamic state. The way the state acts I would say that it is islamic. Especially so when you take the recent headlines into consideration...Britain's shariah finance sector larger than islamic countries such as Pakistan, Egypt, Bahrain etc...Foster care parent out because muslim girl in her protection converted to Christianity, police force unveils new hijab uniform. The list goes on. Sad. TelegraphGeert Wilders had been refused entry to the United Kingdom to broadcast his controversial anti-Muslim film Fitna in the House of Lords.
It's also disgraceful that an EU country should try Geert Wilders with hate speech.
Mr Wilders said he had been told that in the interests of public order he will not be allowed to come to Britain.
He responded to the decision in fighting mood, telling reporters that he still intended to travel to London.
He said: "I shall probably go to Britain anyway on Thursday. Let us see if they put me in chains on arrival. It is an unbelievable decision made by a group of cowards."[...]
Last night, Dutch Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen said he had called British foreign secretary David Miliband to protest against the decision.
He said: "It is disgraceful that a Dutch parliamentarian should be refused entrance to an EU country."

Video of Fitna
The Dutch prosecutors charging Geert Wilders for hate crimes should really be going after the book that contain all the hate...the quran!
Geert Wilders to be charge with hate crimes for Fitna
WTF?!?!?!!11
I thought that England out of all European countries was the leader in dhimmitude but I see that the Netherlands are making a strong case for the top spot.
The Dutch court stated..."In a democratic system, hate speech is considered so serious that it is in the general interest to... draw a clear line," If the judges are really true to their word they would ban the quran and anyone who spews its hatred. BBCA Dutch court has ordered prosecutors to put a right-wing politician on trial for making anti-Islamic statements.
The quran and hadiths equate islam with violence, Mr. Wilders merely showcased the links between the two....
Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders made a controversial film last year equating Islam with violence and has likened the Koran to Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf.Mr Wilders said the judgement was an "attack on the freedom of expression".
"Participation in the public debate has become a dangerous activity. If you give your opinion, you risk being prosecuted," he said.
Not only he, but all Dutch citizens opposed to the "Islamisation" of their country would be on trial, Mr Wilders warned.
"Who will stand up for our culture if I am silenced?" he added.
'Incitement'
The three judges said that they had weighed Mr Wilders's "one-sided generalisations" against his right to free speech, and ruled that he had gone beyond the normal leeway granted to politicians.

EU parliament prevents screening of anti-Islam film
The dhimmis in the EU parliament hard at work trying to suppress the truth.
The EU has no understanding of freedom of speech.STRASBOURG (AFP) — The EU parliament prevented the showing on Wednesday of an anti-Islamic film made by far-right Dutch MP Geert Wilders, bringing cries of censorship from the British eurodeputy who organised the screening.
"The banning of this film is a direct attack on free speech," said British MEP Gerard Batten, who had organised the event, though officials pointed out that parliamentary leaders had banned the film from being shown in their Strasbourg building back in March.
"A parliament that constantly talks of freedom, democracy and tolerance has shown once again that these are empty words when it does not agree with what is being said," added Batten, a member of the eurosceptic UK Independence Party (UKIP).

The truth cannot be suppressed. If only each western country had at least one Geert Wilders, we'd be well on our way to defeat the greatest threat to Western civilization.Deutsche WelleDutch anti-immigrant politician Geert Wilders confirmed Monday he would tour Britain, France and Israel in the coming months to present his controversial Islam-critical film "Fitna."
