Wilders stands up against a symbol of Islamic supremacism and subjugation of women. Read the comments at the Dutch News site, comparing him to Hitler — and then remember that it is the coreligionists of the headscarf wearers who are breathing threats and murder against others, boasting about how they are going to take over, […]
Netherlands: Dhimmi Christian leaders say Christians shouldn’t vote for Wilders
Apparently they think that it is un-Christian to resist a totalitarian, supremacist ideology that would deny the freedom of conscience and freedom of speech, and institutionalize the subjugation of women and non-Muslims, including Christians. “Christians can’t vote for Wilders, say vicars,” from Dutch News, February 25 (thanks to all who sent this in): A Christian […]
Spencer: Geert Wilders and the Death of Free Speech
In Human Events this morning I revisit the Wilders free speech death watch, showing that Geert Wilders has about as much chance of getting a fair trial as did Nikolai Bukharin: During his State of the Union address, Barack Obama criticized the Supreme Court for overturning major portions of the McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform Act. […]
Spencer: The Railroading of Geert Wilders
In the lead story in FrontPage this morning I discuss how Geert Wilders is being denied a fair trial — although of course the very fact that he is on trial at all indicates that it is not a fair trial. The Stalinist-show-trial aspect of the Geert Wilders “hate speech” trial in the Netherlands was […]
Spencer: “The Geert Wilders trial ought to be an international media event”
Here is my entry in a National Review symposium today, “Western Civilization on Trial”: The Geert Wilders trial ought to be an international media event; seldom has any court case anywhere had such enormous implications for the future of the free world. The case against him, which has all the legitimacy of a Stalinist-era Moscow […]
“Wilders trial the most determined statement of dhimmitude we’ve yet seen in Europe”
A stupendous video from Pat Condell on the Wilders trial — Dutch authorities have put Wilders is on trial “for the crime of embarrassing them with the truth.” “When the truth is against the law, there is something seriously wrong with the law.”
Wilders trial: “I much look forward to seeing Wafa Sultan take the stand. Though I slightly pity the prosecution for having to attempt to cross-examine her.”
Douglas Murray points out some of the many, many absurdities of the Wilders free speech trial in the Netherlands. “The trial of Geert Wilders: why we won’t be hearing about camel urine,” by Douglas Murray in the Telegraph, February 4 (thanks to Pamela): […] When the trial opened a fortnight ago, Wilders asked for a […]
Wilders: “This Court is not interested in the truth. This Court doesn’t want me to have a fair trial. I can’t have any respect for this. This Court would not be out of place in a dictatorship.”
Geert Wilders reacts to the Amsterdam’s District Court’s disallowing of all but three of his witnesses. “Reaction to the decision in the pre-trial review,” from his new Geert Wilders Trial website, February 3: Geert Wilders: No fair trial The Amsterdam District Court apparently doesn’t want to hear the truth about Islam. Nor is it interested […]
Wilders wants jihadist murderer to testify at this trial
This is a canny move, since Mohammed Bouyeri cited the Qur’an to justify his murder of Theo Van Gogh. How, then, can Geert Wilders be guilty of “hate speech” simply for pointing out that the words of the Qur’an have incited Muslims to commit acts of violence against unbelievers? “Dutch Critic of Islam Wants Extremist […]
