The Geert Wilders trial

[Beskar]

I wish they will lock him away as Ser Clegane will thankfully do to this thread.

Doubt it Beskar, I asked for it to be re-opened because of this latest development and CA pretty clearly set out the rules for the discussion, and he will crush it under his mighty boot should we break them. If you don't like reading opinions that conflict with your delicate sensibilities you must be in the wrong place. We are right on track here.

[Louis VI the Fat]

There is one aspect about this trial that Wilders and his proponents conveniently forget:

Anti-hatespeech laws are the exact legal instrument used to stop hatemongering Imams, to stop calls for the murder of Western swines, and other Islamofascist agitation. Criticism of, especially the call to remove, these laws will strip the anti-Islam movement of the very legal means it requires.

(Unless, of course, they want to have one set of rules for Muslims, and another one for Westerners)

Wilders himself wants to ban half the Koran for containing hatespeech. Apart from this blatant hypocricy, has he thought through the result of his squeeking about the dictatorial nature of the existence of anti-hate speech laws?

I wish they will lock him away as Ser Clegane will thankfully do to this thread.

why would he do that if the debate remains civil and within the identified parameters?
