The only sane verdict has been reached in the Geert Wilders trial in Holland! He was acquitted of all five charges of hate-speech. What did he say? He spoke publicly about the rise and impact of militant Islam in Holland and across Europe. As someone who lived in the Netherlands for three years and who also is concerned with the spread of totalitarian Islam and stealth jihad, I have followed this case for some time now.
I am glad that there is still such a thing as freedom of speech in Europe - to have lost this battle would have been a crushing blow for the free democracies of the West (as we are called and loosely grouped). I'm sure that those who brought charges up against Mr. Wilders will not go quietly, and this fact is evidenced by the 24-hour security guards that the man must now live with.
Still it is wonderful news and I applaud it.
