Dutch Public Prosecutor’s Office to Try Geert Wilders for Thought Crime…….

The Dutch Public Prosecutor’s Office is set to trample free speech rights in its misguided quest to prosecute Right-wing politician, Gert Wilders, for inciting hatred, discrimination and insulting language concerning Islam and Muslims.

Really?

It’s going to be interesting to see how the Dutch court presents its case, given that Wilders has presented his case against Islam by referring exclusively to Islamic texts and the over response by the Muslim leadership concerning these texts. Islam is an ideology, it’s not a racial, ethnic group, simply an ideology, and what the Dutch court is trying to do, is to place an ideology above critique. We’ve seen that before, as the Soviet Union victimized those who dared to raise a voice about the wrongs inflicted on others by that dangerous ideology.

How people were dragged before the courts of the land because they dare criticize Soviet policy, and how many more people in Europe are going to dragged before the courts because they dare speak the truth about Islam? If terrible portions in Islamic texts had been expunged, or at least a fatwa given by the most important voice in Islamic jurisprudence, that no text could be used to promote violence against anyone, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, then we wouldn’t be having to deal with the current problem that Islam poses.

Geert Wilders to be prosecuted for inciting hatred

The Amsterdam court has ruled that the Public Prosecutor’s Office should after all prosecute the right-wing populist politician Geert Wilders for remarks about Muslims and Islam. The court found that there was a case of inciting hatred, discrimination and insulting language to answer. Earlier the Public Prosecutor decided not to proceed against Mr Wilders, which sparked numerous protests from organisations and individuals.

The court regarded Mr Wilders’ remarks as punishable in law in view of both their content and the manner of presentation. The judges characterized the presentation as comprising “one-sided, generalised phrasing characterised by a radical nature, constant repetition and increasing ferocity”. The court further ruled that the prosecution of the PVV party leader would not conflict with the right to freedom of expression.

Mr Wilders said it was “a black day for freedom of speech” and for himself. Although he was confident he would be exonerated, he was afraid the trial might last so long and cost the PVV so much that the future existence of the party would be jeopardised.

Note: The Finnish authorities are presently trying to build a simiar case against Jussi Hall-aho, using the very same argumentation, Halla-aho has just blogged his exchange (in Finnish) with the authorities via email. when I have the time, I’ll translate the more important parts of it. Halla-aho’s own argumentation is pure brilliance. I believe that we will see the same from Wilders as well.

UPDATE: And if that weren’t enough, just look at what Palestinians are saying if Europe doesn’t cater to the Islamofascists’ demands.

UPDATE: The Baron has just received the following statement from the PVV:

This is a Black Day for Freedom”
by Baron Bodissey

We just received this statement from the PVV (Party for Freedom):
Geert Wilders: court decision is an all-out assault on freedom of speech

Survival of Freedom Party in jeopardy

The Hague, January 21, 2009

The Freedom Party (PVV) is shocked by the Amsterdam Court of Appeal’s decision to prosecute Geert Wilders for his statements and opinions. Geert Wilders considers this ruling an all-out assault on freedom of speech.

Geert Wilders: “Apparently this is The Netherlands today. If you speak out you might be prosecuted. To participate in public debate has become a dangerous activity.”

“If I have to appear in court, not only I will be prosecuted, but also hundreds of thousands of Dutch citizens who reject the Islamisation of the West. In Dutch Parliament only the Party for Freedom is willing to speak up for the preservation of our culture and our many freedoms.”- – – – – – – – –
The Freedom Party leader now faces legal proceedings that will probably take years to conclude and will also involve enormous legal fees.

“We depend on small donations. The Freedom Party is the only party in Parliament that does not accept any government funding. This court decision jeopardizes the very existence of the Freedom Party. We simply cannot afford the enormous legal expenses.”

“This is a black day for freedom.”

I was in the Netherlands last February, I was shocked at the number of Muslims/Arabs, probably about 40%, to not exagerate.

Fitna was on the verge of coming out…

Great blog, keep up the work, fellow Infidel!!!

Hi Carlos, I know how you feel, I was in Vienna last year for a Counterjihad meeting and was shocked by all the noticeable head scarves etc.

If not for the fact that the rest of us have to deal with the misery inflicted by failed multi-culti policies, I would say that they (multiculturalists) deserve all that they order, and then some.

Thank you for you kind words, I try my best with this blog to inform the world on what is going on here in Finland and elsewhere.

A bad day for freedom is a big day for courtroom jihad.

It really doesn’t matter for the Dutch establishment whether Wilders is convicted or not. The process itself is a punishment with all the legal expenses.

There’s No Common Cultural Legacy For The Alt-Right

Still, is there something to it? Is there a common heritage that will cover El Greco and Hume and Dostoyevsky? Is there one that can include the Jacobites and the Jacobins? There is, but it is not racial, and white supremacists reject it because it rejects them. The unifying heritage of Europe is religious and philosophical. It is Jerusalem and Athens, in one famous formulation. Christian religion and Greek philosophy, filtered through Roman law and culture, are the foundation of European culture. The tensions, agreements, developments and settlements between these have shaped the Western world, and these roots of Western civilization are not congenial to white supremacy.

Christianity is universal in its message and Jewish in its origins. For centuries after its founding, Christianity’s center was the Mediterranean world, including Asia Minor and North Africa. Christianity has never been defined by race, and locally-grown racist heresies are only sustainable among those ignorant of Christianity’s teachings, origins and history.

Greek philosophy is likewise ill-suited to serve as a basis for white identity. It is either too universal (addressing the human condition in general) or too local—none of us live as citizens of an ancient Greek polis. Later philosophical developments in Europe, such as the philosophies of the Enlightenment, likewise tend to be too universal for white supremacists seeking a tribal identity. As for the scientific revolution that developed within Western culture (albeit with much borrowed from outside Europe), math doesn’t care what color someone is.

"More here"

War is being waged against Western culture from within which is in essence a war against Christianity and its moral origins in the Hebrew Bible. By attacking these Biblical foundations in the name of reason and human rights, the culture warriors of secularism are sawing off the branch on which they sit. The only way to defend Western civilisation is to reaffirm and restore its Biblical foundations. My argument is a development of ideas I first explored in my 2012 book The World Turned Upside Down: The Global Battle over God, Truth and Power.

We are living in an era which extols reason, science and human rights. These are said to be essential for progress, a civilised society and the betterment of humanity. Religion is said to be their antithesis, the source instead of superstitious mumbo-jumbo, oppression and backward-thinking.

Some of this hostility is being driven by the perceived threat from Islamic terrorism and the Islamisation of Western culture. However, this animus against religion has far deeper roots and can be traced back to what is considered the birthplace of Western reason, the 18th-century Enlightenment.

Actually, it goes back specifically to the French Enlightenment. In England and Scotland, the Enlightenment developed reason and political liberty within the framework of Biblical belief. In France, by contrast, anti-clericalism morphed into fundamental hostility to Christianity and to religion itself.

“Ecrasez l’infame,” said Voltaire (crush infamy) — the infamy to which he referred being not just the Church but Christianity, which he wanted to replace with the religion of reason, virtue and liberty, “drawn from the bosom of nature”.

Perfecting society

But this Enlightenment did not remove religion so much as pervert it. It took millenarian fantasies, the idea that the perfection of the world was at hand, and it secularised them. Instead of God producing heaven on earth, it would be mankind which would bring that about. Reason would create the perfect society and “progress” was the process by which utopia would be attained.
