Dutch Politician Geert Wilders Faces Prosecution


Geert Wilders, who I interviewed in the Netherlands last year, faces prosecution for inciting racial hatred, after a Dutch court ruled today that his attacks on Islam and the Koran are not protected speech.

You can watch the interview below.

Wilders, who produced the short film "Fitna," has compared the Koran to Hitler's "Mein Kampf," and has said Islamic culture is "retarded," among other things. In my interview with him he again calls islam a "fascist ideology."

It would be ironic for at east one reason if Wilders ever goes to jail for this.

A jail cell was one of the places where Dutch authorities chose to hide Wilders from Muslims who wanted to kill him.

Throughout the ages good people have suffered for telling the truth. My prayer is for God's grace to continue to empower Mr. Wilders to be a dynamic positive witness through what is alotted to him.
