I am so glad to hear of this. Go Geert!!
To: lowbridge
Good point.
In America, the case would have evolved into a test of the constitutionality of the law but one who wishes to advocate a point of view must be chilled by the knowledge that the next judge might not be so concerned over the virtues of free speech or perhaps he might be less intimidated by the glare of international publicity. The portions of the opinion as quoted in the article assume the validity of the law and splits hairs to avoid applying it.

Yes, but this sets precedence. It is almost like nullification. It is all good.

Even a libtard country may have a good justice....sometimes !
CHEERS for Geert and the freedom fighters...Champagne and the fight must go on....
And firstable oust the opportunist croock in chief who is trying steadily to implement his ideological agenda !
Afghanistan will be a mess (like Lybia, Syria, Egypt, Yemen....)and Ben Laden’s death change nothing.
Islam IS not, has NEVER BEEN and will never be, a sane “religion”/ideology consistant with our values.
I am happy for Geert W. but obHAMAs is still trying to move on with his dangerous agenda step by step !

Wilders (like Mark Steyn in his Canadian version of the story) had the resources to fight - and win. But the PC speech cops continue to sweep up new offenders into their legal meat grinder.
To: G L Tirebiter
Legal meat grinder is right. The power to prosecute is the power to destroy.

Dutch dude (and member of the Dutch Parliament), Geert Wilders, criticized Islam as being against Western values. The Dutch government prosecuted him for his words. Today that prosecution has ended in acquittal. Party time!
