Wilders acquitted of all charges

Last Updated on Thursday, 23 June 2011 09:35

This morning the Court of Amsterdam has acquitted Geert Wilders of all charges.

“I am delighted with this ruling,” says Geert Wilders. “It is a victory, not only for me but for all the Dutch people. Today is a victory for freedom of speech. The Dutch are still allowed to speak critically about islam, and resistance against islamisation is not a crime. I have spoken, I speak and I shall continue to speak.”

“Can someone bring me up to speed as to what this was about....?”

Here’s a start (he has to have 24/7 protection)

This man has just struck a GIANT blow to the muzzies most successful weapon in the world: Political correctness.

We owe him a debt.

Maybe you’d care to educate yourself?

these first 2 clips are the ‘crime’ he has been dragged through years of hell for - but he held strong.

this is just a small part of what he has gone through - and must have 24/7 protection -

We all owe this man!

Thank you, GOD! Protect this man.

And here's s video that will make you smile- another MP, this one in Belgium. He tells a Turkish muzzie off in SPADES!

Hopefully, America will wake up!

With Wilders there was the chance that his party might well sweep the next election and go out of its way to put all the judges in prison.

They undoubtedly discussed the matter among themselves and made sure the judge(s) in this case gave Wilders a win.

That doesn't mean they aren't all going to jail eventually, but now it might take an election or two.

the next judge might not be so concerned over the virtues of free speech

Or the European Union Court intervenes, or the Dutch ruling class has their laws "adjusted". It is a victory, but the red wheel in Europe is still turning in the wrong direction.

"Free speech lives."

Yes, but it was nip and tuck there wasn't it?

>"Islam IS not, has NEVER BEEN and will never be, a sane “religion”/ideology consistant with our values.

We don't allow the Jivaro headhunters to practice their "religion". Why the slimes?

Yes, yes, wonderful, wonderful - BUT - charges WERE brought against him. And I would very much doubt that we have seen the last of this.
