Wilders show trial views Fitna


Hate? Judge for yourself

Is what Fitna says about Islam and the Qur'an accurate? See here. But it is not clear in the Wilders show trial whether or not truth is an adequate defense. "Court views anti-Islam film in Wilders hate speech trial," from AP, October 6:

The hate speech trial of politician Geert Wilders has resumed with judges viewing his anti-Islam film "Fitna," which juxtaposes Koranic verses and images of violence, and offended many Muslims worldwide when it was released in 2008.

Of course, those Muslims were not offended when Islamic jihadists juxtaposed Qur'anic verses with violence by committing violent acts and justifying them by reference to those Qur'an verses.

Wilders is charged with inciting hatred against Muslims via "Fitna" and in dozens of public remarks comparing Islam to Fascism, calling for a ban on Muslim immigration and for a ban on the Koran. In one opinion piece he wrote "I've had enough of Islam in the Netherlands; let not one more Muslim immigrate," adding "I've had enough of the Koran in the Netherlands: Forbid that fascist book."

Wilders argued on Monday that he has a right to freedom of speech and that his remarks were within the bounds of the law.

"I am a suspect here because I have expressed my opinion as a representative of the people," Wilders told judges at the start of the trial.

"Formally I'm on trial here today, but with me, the freedom of expression of many, many Dutch people is also being judged," he said, referring to more than 1.4 million voters who made his party the country's third-largest in June elections....

Indeed.

After viewing the film, if the justices don't immediately stand up and say "case dismissed", the fix is in and Mr. Wilders' nation is done for...... unless the people rise up and rid their country of pure evil filth.

Wilders is charged with inciting hatred against Muslims via "Fitna" and in dozens of public remarks comparing Islam to Fascism, calling for a ban on Muslim immigration and for a ban on the Koran.

Inciting hatred? It sounds more like the truth, with more than 16,000+ attacks since Sep11/2001.

All the best Geert Wilders, hope you win!

Why don't the prosecutors just convert to Islam and offer sanctuary to Osama while trying to hire assassins to kill Geert and other Islamophobes?

That's the only way to truly appease the radicals, may as well go all the way to pleasing them!

In European jurisdictions the truth is no defense. See links under ' Censorship - truth is no defense at http://crombouke.blogspot.com/2010/01/everything-you-need-to-know-about-islam.html

I will confess, I don't understand the thinking of the prosecutors in this case. They don't put the Imams on trial for encouraging their flock to commit violence in defense of their faith.

But they indict a politician for exposing the Imams' behavior.

A prediction: Wilders will be found innocent of all charges.

"A prediction: Wilders will be found innocent of all charges."
- by whom? There is NO JURY in this kangaroo court. The prosecution and judges are all state employees who will do the OIC's bidding.

This 'Fitna'is sure to become become a classic forerunner to the downfall of Islamic imperialism in the whole world like communism and Nazism. Geert Wilders has sown the seed of fitna,which is growing up so rapidly like a huge mountain in our own lifetimes. Geert wilders- the saviour of Europe,America and all the free world.

Cares not that Geithner cheats the IRS.
Of seedy pol's tale they have made a sacred saga,

Proud Western man, rebellious and defiant
Towards God and Christ, to Islam meekly bows.
Geert Wilders is seen as insufficiently pliant,
And so iss tried, before a bunch of sows.

To be sung to the tune of the Horst Wessellied--since I believe that the distance between the radical Left and fascism is very, very, very short.

Thanks for putting up the video.

I had a real hard time watching it ( especially the scenes from 9/11 ), but it was a good reminder of what we're up against. Those scenes make me shudder in horror...

That Geerts " Trial ", even continues after the showing of this film even continues, defies sanity ( I'm surprised that it was even permitted to be shown ).

And to those whining Muslims who have the balls to complain about their " hurt feelings ", and who like to compare Islam to Christianity, and Judaism, take a long good look at what Mohammad brought to the world.

Don't talk about hurt feelings, and theological comparisons - watch those people jumping to their deaths from the World Trade Center, instead.

Mohammad ( may perdition be upon him ).

Remember the Colorado art gallery hosting an obscene graphic of Jesus? Well, something is missing from the discussion: FOXNews shows "Mohammed and the hooker pigs" on display at the Loveland art gallery.

http://blazingcatfur.blogspot.com/2010/10/let-riots-begin-mohammed-and-hooker.html

I just re-watched it.

Very effective - and, as Mr Spencer said when it first appeared, accurate.

It would, however, be useful a 'revised version', or an 'annotated version', which identifies specifically *during the movie, rather than in a general form in the credits* each of the Muslim sermons or speeches, excerpts from Muslim TV (e.g. the little girl who is being quizzed about why one must hate the Jooz) and Jihad videos, and news footage , which appear in conjunction with the Quranic passages.

For example: we see a brief clip of the hanging of a group of homosexuals. I'd appreciate a caption in white type crawling along the bottom of the screen, giving place, date, time, e.g. 'Location, Iran; year, month, day; execution of homosexuals in accord with [Quran and/ or Hadith instructions'. There's the beheading of a Western hostage and the execution of a woman in Afghanistan: again, I think it would have more impact if we knew the name of the hostage, who killed him, when, where, and for the woman, the date and place of the execution and why they were killing her.

Correction:

'be useful to have a 'revised version''...
