Geert Wilders Rides Again

Attention: open in a new window.PDFPrintE-mail

Geert Wilders is a Dutch politiician who made a film called 'Fitna' which exposes the dangerous opression of women under Islam.  His film was controversial in the Netherlands which prides itself on a very liberal-left-wing mentality of tolerance of drugs, prostitution and more.    But not any expression against Islam in Free Speech.  Wilders was recently invited to London to screen his film for the House of Lords but was denied entry for a disruption of 'public harmony'.  Frontpage magazine notes:

To add insult to legal injury, there is the recent unpleasantness in the UK. Invited by Lord Malcolm Pearson earlier this month to screen Fitna in the British House of Lords, Wilders was detained on his arrival at London’s Heathrow airport, refused entry into the country, and ultimately sent back to the Netherlands on the next available flight. For good measure, British Foreign Secretary David Miliband condemned what he called the “extreme anti-Muslim hate” of Fitna, only to admit later to the BBC that he had never actually seen the film he claimed to find so contemptible. What followed was a diplomatic row between the Netherlands and Britain that saw even Dutch Foreign Secretary Maxime Verhagen, a frequent critic of Wilders, protest the British government’s ban. “You expect something like this from Zimbabwe, but not from one of the oldest democracies in Europe,” Wilders says.

ACTIONS:   •Where are the calls for Muslims to learn the tolerance of criticism experienced every day by Christians in the Western world?  The onslaught against them in cultural forums is stunning.

•Where are the calls of support for a First Amendment in the United Nations to protect Free Speech?  Their Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares that

Article 18
