Indeed, the verdict that found him not guilty on all counts is a verdict we can all be proud of. In this case, secular, humanistic, rational values trumped Islamic supremacy and European dhimmitude. This small victory should be a stepping stone along the path of enlightenment as to the dangers of Islam, yet I fear the lesson will be lost to the fog of political correctness and the misguided tolerance of every group being accepted as a friend.
Wilders was on trial for quoting Islam. His movie "Fitna" was a 15 minute film which was a collection of quotes from leading and respected Islamic scholars, clerics, mullahs and sheikhs. He made nothing up yet was accused and tried for insulting Islam and Muslims. Think about that for a minute....what is that other than trying a man for being a messenger.
Geert Wilders is innocent and will continue to use the right of free speech to expose, question and analyse Islam. May all of us be as brave as Wilders in defending our freedoms.

The judges in the Court of Amsterdam delivered their verdict Thursday morning in the heresy trial of Dutch Freedom Party politician Geert Wilders. Wilders has been found not guilty of all charges of inciting hatred against Muslims. The judge, Marcel van Oosten, and the other Dutch authorities ended up doing the right thing, no matter how cowardly and compromised they may have been. They must have known how history would view them if Wilders had been found guilty: as troglodytes who ushered in the return of the Dark Ages.
When do the Islamic supremacists go on trial for inciting hatred against non-Muslims?
“I am delighted with this ruling,” Wilders said. “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.”
The charges against Geert Wilders were that he had made statements that were intentionally offensive to Muslims; incited hatred against Muslims; incited discrimination against Muslims; and incited hatred of non-Western immigrants.
The Islamic supremacists who initiated the case told the Dutch dhimmi judges that the things Wilders said had led to a rise in discrimination and violence against Muslims. They had no proof, of course, of anyone committing any act of violence against any Muslim, or discriminating against any Muslim, because of anything Geert Wilders said. They just wanted to compel the Netherlands to enforce Islamic blasphemy laws.
This has been dragging on for a good while. The Wilders heresy trial began last October 4, but fell apart just a few weeks later after a special legal panel determined that the judges were biased against Wilders. No kidding. But they found more dhimmi judges and kept going.
The Islamic supremacist “plaintiffs” were seeking a one-euro fine. But it was of course never about a fine, symbolic or otherwise. The Wilders case has always been an attempt to win an Islamic supremacist triumph over the tenets of Western law and free speech. They said if they didn’t get their symbolic one-euro fine, they didn’t get it, but they said they were considering taking their case to the European Court of Human Rights.
Ah yes, take it to the anti-humans under the guise of human rights.

Thank God for Geert's acquittal! Unfortunately this will not be the last attempt by Islam to silence the West. Freedom of speech, in fact FREEDOM in general is the enemy of Islam, & Islamists will continue at every opportunity to use our own laws & judicial system to silence our voices.
I believe it was the blind sheik Omar Abdel Rahman who said at a New York City rally, "We will use your own laws to destroy you, we will use your freedoms to bury you, that is the weakness of the West".
Propaganda is a powerful tool & by creating the illusion that Islam/Muslims are victims, they play on the goodness & sympathies of Western civilization & the Western mindset.
This is an excerpt taken from an article about "Fjordman", a Swedish native who sees the Islamization of the West as decidedly negative: "Westerners have given other peoples, including actively hostile tribes, the tools needed to multiply beyond their native capacity, the transportation needed to travel to our countries, the human rights legislation needed to settle here & the welfare states needed to exploit us".
Our kindness, our liberal policies & our willful & deliberate blindness have put us in danger. By allowing Islamists entry into our country, we have given them free reign to multiply, to influence our schools & our children, to influence & now enact legislation, to propagandize our people, & to use our own legal system against us.
While Islam vilifies Geert Wilders, Islamic bookstores throughout the world continue to sell & rate as their #1 best seller, Hitlers "Mein Kampf".
Our attitude towards Islam remind me of the Hans Christian Anderson story, "The Emperor's New Clothes". Everyone knows that the Emperor is naked but only 1 small child had the courage, the unsullied vision (& political incorrectness) to say that the emperor WAS indeed naked; everyone else just went along for the ride. When will we open our eyes?
