Prosecutors Ask to Drop Anti-Islam Charges Against Dutch Lawmaker Geert Wilders
America needs to listen to Geert Wilders who is a hero to all who believe in freedom. He’s a courageous Dutch politco that speaks out against the Islamization of Europe. Pass these videos to all your friends because their that important.
Fox News reports that the criminal case against Geert Wilders appears to be unraveling.
Wilders, the controversial Dutch lawmaker and filmmaker known for his outspoken stances against Islam, was facing prosecution in his home country for allegedly inciting racial hatred. But prosecutors in the case said Friday they've asked the court to drop the charges.
The prosecutors now say that Wilders was targeting the religion, not Muslim individuals, and he has some leeway as a lawmaker to make statements about social problems, Reuters reported.
Earlier this month, Wilders appealed for freedom of expression and then exercised his right to silence as the trial began, at a time when his popularity and influence in the Netherlands are near all-time highs.
Wilders has compared Islam to Nazism and called for a ban on the Koran. He argues he has a right to freedom of speech and that his remarks were within the bounds of the law.
