It's written in every one of my posts. Either you have severe reading comprehension problems or you won't be happy until I sign it in blood and staple it to your forehead. <br /><br />Let's review. 1) His free speech (no matter how vile) should not be infringed. 2) The Koran (also free speech) should not be banned. I myself dislike the Koran. I also dislike Mein Kampf. And neither should be banned. He should not have been prosecuted. But he is also wrong for advocating the banning of a book.<br /><br />If you read those statements as a defense of the prosecutors, then you are clearly someone who can only see what they want to see. <br /><br />And ad hominem is protected speech. It's also lazy. Lazy like not processing the information someone gives you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-79818048926088936292011-06-23T15:43:40.550-07:002011-06-23T15:43:40.550-07:00nah.

This might be a reading comprehension issue on your part, so answering might be a futile effort. But no, I don't want those who went after Geert to stand trial. I think the people who went after him were cowards and are distasteful people. But, like Geert, they haven't done anything illegal. <br /><br />By the way, being a horrendous person doesn't make you automatically guilty. There are a lot of horrendous people who are indicted purely because they are awful people - some legal specialists say that John Edwards was indicted be he was scum, not necessarily because he did anything illegal (I don't know enough about it to say one way or the other, so please don't go for the ad hominem as usually happens around here).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-14387809123913630492011-06-23T12:41:51.136-07:002011-06-23T12:41:51.136-07:00It is a minor victory.

But you have to look at it from the Dutch perspective.<br /><br />They suffered horribly during WWII under Nazi occupation, and both <i>Mein Kampf</i> and Nazi regalia are banned in the country. <br /><br />Wilder's point is that if the Qu'ran is Nazi-like in it's presumptions, it should likewise be banned as well.<br /><br />BTW, you might be interested to know that <i> Mein Kampf</i> is a best seller in the Arab World, where it's title translates as "My Jihad".<br /><br />Regards.<br />RobRobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332213651195340500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-46701291220643707092011-06-23T11:44:35.628-07:002011-06-23T11:44:35.628-07:00"The tide is turning in much of Europe. slow..."The tide is turning in much of Europe. slowly, but it is turning."

no...<i>which proved his point, if you think about it.</i><br /><br />no.<br />that statement is not correct.<br />that statement is subjective.<br />while mr. wilders stock is rising, it had no where else to go, an increasing number of people chose to think it does not prove his point.<br />the party he represents may be increasing it's number of seats, but dear queen beatri[cks], and her version of cardinal richelieu, will never allow mr. wilders to influence the netherlands abdication to islam.<br />the netherlands will now to back to sleep, or shopping.<br />now that the leftists have exhausted their will in the netherlands, i feel the ICC will be calling on mr. wilders in short order.louielouienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16816866.post-46343330366832195552011-06-23T09:52:15.180-07:002011-06-23T09:52:15.180-07:00Wilders' 'crime' was to call attention...<i> Wilders' 'crime' was to call attention to this, and to point out the correlation between the violence, intolerance and misogyny practiced in a significant portion of the Muslim population with certain parts of the Qu'ran and to call for a curtailment of Muslim immigration.</i><br /><br />All true. I share sympathies with Wilders in some areas and am glad that he was acquitted of the terrible crime of using speaking freely. But he should take a lesson from that and realize that all speech is free, including the Koran, which he would like to see banned and burned. So you may prop him up as a saint, but pretending that he didn't say and propose some truly Nazi-esque things is a whitewash.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
