Dutch politician Geert Wilders was charged by a Jordanian prosecutor Tuesday with blasphemy and contempt of Muslims for making an anti-Koran film, and ordered to stand trial in Jordan, Reuters reported.
The charges came one day after Dutch prosecutors decided they wouldn't take action against Wilders because he was protected by the right to free speech.

An order was issued to bring Wilders to trial through the Dutch Embassy in Amman, Reuters reported.
Wilders' film "Fitna," which appeared on the Internet on March 27, linked terror attacks by Muslim extremists to texts from the Koran, Islam's holy book.

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.
