If you have a youtube account, politely tell Queen Raina what you think of her government persecuting those who disagree with radical Islam.

How exactly was it blasphemy? All it did was show undoctored film footage of the religion of peace in action.

We need to remember this next time some politician thinks that signing up for the ICC would be a good idea.

The action of the Jordanian prosecutor actually increases contempt for Muslims.

Oh, to live in a world where it's illegal and punishable to 'have contempt' for something.

Isn't diversity grand?

Wilders had best hope that the World Government of World Citizens folks don't get their desire too soon. The Dutch wouldn't have anything to say about it.
