In all of the various comments, NO-ONE seems to have considered prosecuting anyone for the Islamic “Jews are the descendents of Apes & Pigs” statement. Anyone out there wonder if such a remark insults Judaism / the Jewish people ????

Until the results of any prosecution are known, we won’t know if what Geert Williams has done is against the current law.

The real campaign for hearts and minds should be aimed at changing the law, if it is found to be necessary.

The limits to freedom of expression are well defined in international law in articles 19 and 20 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)to which the Netherlands is a signatory. Wilders has not breached those limits – read them for yourselves. He should not therefore be prosecuted. Whether you agree or disagree with his political opinions is simply not the issue.

Mohammed Atta’s comments are so blatantly inflammatory (plus idiotic, barbaric and any number of other adjectives) I sincerely hope that the comment is a prank or a trolling attempt. My intuition say otherwise though and for this reason Geert Wilder’s must not be prosecuted.

Careful Jeremy, you sound a bit Islamophobic, you could get arrested.

The common law has it right. If someone is not engaged in incitement — to encourage criminal acts against actual persons or their property — then the law should take no criminal cognizance of it.

The Dutch prosecutors are forgetting their nation’s history. In 1670, Benedictus de Spinoza wrote:

[G]overnment which attempts to control minds is accounted tyrannical, and it is considered an abuse of sovereignty and a usurpation of the rights of subjects to seek to prescribe what shall be accepted as true, or rejected as false, or what opinions should actuate men in their worship of God. All these questions fall within a man’s natural right, which he cannot abdicate even with his own consent.

These words were true in the seventeenth century, and they are still true today.

Mr Mohammad Atta’s comment illustrates very well the need for freedom of expression. The intemperate nature of his vile and violent extremism needs to be publicly expressed so that all sane people – who are the great majority – can read and condemn it.
