Geert Wilders Verdict: West 1, Islam 0 by Pamela Geller
The judges in the Court of Amsterdam delivered their verdict Thursday morning in the heresy trial of Dutch Freedom Party politician Geert Wilders. Wilders has been found not guilty of all charges of inciting hatred against Muslims. The judge, Marcel van Oosten, and the other Dutch authorities ended up doing the right thing, no matter how cowardly and compromised they may have been. They must have known how history would view them if Wilders had been found guilty: as troglodytes who ushered in the return of the Dark Ages.
Story continues below advertisementWhen do the Islamic supremacists go on trial for inciting hatred against non-Muslims?
“I am delighted with this ruling,” Wilders said. “It is a victory, not only for me but for all the Dutch people. Today is a victory for freedom of speech. The Dutch are still allowed to speak critically about islam, and resistance against islamisation is not a crime. I have spoken, I speak and I shall continue to speak.”
The charges against Geert Wilders were that he had made statements that were intentionally offensive to Muslims; incited hatred against Muslims; incited discrimination against Muslims; and incited hatred of non-Western immigrants.
The Islamic supremacists who initiated the case told the Dutch dhimmi judges that the things Wilders said had led to a rise in discrimination and violence against Muslims. They had no proof, of course, of anyone committing any act of violence against any Muslim, or discriminating against any Muslim, because of anything Geert Wilders said. They just wanted to compel the Netherlands to enforce Islamic blasphemy laws.
This has been dragging on for a good while. The Wilders heresy trial began last October 4, but fell apart just a few weeks later after a special legal panel determined that the judges were biased against Wilders. No kidding. But they found more dhimmi judges and kept going.
The Islamic supremacist “plaintiffs” were seeking a one-euro fine. But it was of course never about a fine, symbolic or otherwise. The Wilders case has always been an attempt to win an Islamic supremacist triumph over the tenets of Western law and free speech. They said if they didn’t get their symbolic one-euro fine, they didn’t get it, but they said they were considering taking their case to the European Court of Human Rights.
Ah yes, take it to the anti-humans under the guise of human rights.
This was a seminal case. Last fall Wilders explained what was really at stake in Holland, and in the entire Western world, in his case: “I am standing trial,” he said, “because of my opinions on Islam … and because the Dutch establishment – most of them non-Muslims – wants to silence me. I have been dragged to court because in my country freedom can no longer be fully enjoyed. In Europe the national state, and increasingly the EU, prescribes how citizens – including democratically elected politicians such as myself – should think and what we are allowed to say.”

You should be disgusted with yourself. You, yourself are now preeching racial hatred, but now it’s socially acceptable to do so. And how dare you call them Islamic Supremacists, for standing up for their rights you racist, ill-informed bigot. You should be disgusted with yourself. You are a disgrace to freedom of speech, hiding behind this, to preach your racist views.

Congratulations Lucy on your profoundly wise insights from the wonderful world of Islam!
If I can just expound on your comments where you called Pamela Geller a “racist, ill-informed bigot”.
The dictionary definition of a bigot is “a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion.”
The greatest book ever written on bigotry & intolerance is the Quran. Here is just a sample:
Qur’an:8:39 “Fight them until ALL OPPOSITION ENDS and ALL SUBMIT TO ALLAH.”
When it comes to racism, again Islam is the master at racist hate speech. Here is a sample from the Hadith.
Tabari IX:69 “Arabs are the most noble people in lineage, the most prominent, and the best in deeds. We were the first to respond to the call of the Prophet.
Lucy you need to come up with a better cover name for a Muslima and before you shoot your mouth off at least back up your hate-speech with some facts.

“When do the Islamic supremacists go on trial for inciting hatred against non-Muslims?”
That is the key question and should not remain rethorical!
Geert Wilders!! Bravo! Now you should sue the pants off them for : defamation, stress and anguish, loss of income, etc. etc. etc. Go get ’em!!!

HURRAY !! I’m laughing and crying at the same time ! What a strong, strong person Geert Wilders is ! We should remember what he had to go through–mentally, emotionally, and he looks like he’s lost 15 lbs.
Those years of grueling effort and living in fear must have been very debilitating and he must have had an amazing amount of fortitude to carry on . He wouldn’t forget the importance of his goal or forsake it even though he was put down by hoards of critics and ridiculed every day .
He’s a fine example and A LIGHT IN THE DARK ! Let’s always remember his good sense and fight for the truth . Some people don’t give a damn- they are content to sit complacently in their blissfull ignorance.
And THANK YOU Pam–for your great support and attention to that outstanding man–he’s a trooper–like you !
I’d write more but it’s almost 3:00 o’clock in the morning .

Lucy. Slipped your strait jacket again? So many brain dead liberals/Islamics apologists, and the actual criminally insane Islamics..Which one are you? Never mind there is no difference.

Hahahaha. Who was trying to get whom imprisoned for criticising their religion? It seems to me your Muslo-nazi brothers were trying to take away Geert’s right to free speech (i.e. to criticize your hate-filled genocidal religion of intolerance).

Newsflash Lucy2, Islam is not a race! Get over it! It is a f*****d up ideology equivalent to Nazism. In fact the mooslimes allied themselves with the Nazis during WWII. If you were alive during that time period you would have been screaming that we are being racist and unfair against the Nazis! After all, putting people in ovens in cooking them is just another point of view which we all need to be “tolerant” of because it reflects “diversity” and “multiculturalism”. We shouldn’t look down on the Nazis just because they are different from us. You people make me sick

Geert Wilder’s Freedom Party was behind the slaughter ban. It means Dutch Jews will be the ones to suffer cuz the Moslems don’t see the stunning as being mandatory.
Do you still think he is a good friend of Jews? He is an atheist and his getting slaughter meat banned to get back at Moslems is not affecting them, but it is affecting Jews. Moreover, the movement is Europewide. EU Jews will suffer.
