Geert Wilders Verdict: Not Guilty All Counts! Eureka! "Today is a victory for freedom of speech"

UPDATE: “I am delighted with this ruling,” says Geert Wilders. “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.”

===================================================

West 1  Islam 0

The judges have delivered their verdict in the heresy trial of Dutch freedom politician Geert Wilders for inciting hatred against Muslims. NOT GUILTY of all charges of inciting hatred against Muslims. When do the Islamic supremacists go on trial for inciting hatred against non-Muslims?

Charges against Geert Wilders

1. Intentionally offending Muslims
2. Inciting hatred against Muslims
3. Inciting discrimination against Muslims
4. Inciting hatred of non-western immigrants

The islamic supremacists who initiated the case told judges that Mr Wilders' comments have led to a rise in discrimination and violence against Muslims. This is the enforcement of blasphemy laws under Islamic law.

The case began on October 4 last year, but collapsed after three weeks when a special legal panel ruled the judges may have shown partiality following a string of legal blunders. New judges were then sworn in and the case was heard again this year. (Dutch News)

The Islamic supremacist 'plaintiffs' were seeking a one-euro fine. But it's not about a largely symbolic fine; it is about a triumph over the tenets of Western law and free speech. They said if they didn't get their symbolic one-euro fine, they don't get it, but they say they will consider taking their case to the European Court of Human Rights. Ah yes, take it to the anti-humans under the guise of human rights.

Liveblogging the verdict at Facebook

The judge has started off by saying that most of the statements for which Geert Wilders has been charged are attributable to him. Two of the statements, however, were attributable to newspaper writers – a not guilty verdict for both these statements.

Charge #2 Incitement to hatred of people, i.e. Muslims, based on their religion - NOT GUILTY!!

Charge #4 Incitement to hatred of people, i.e. non-Western immigrants and/or Moroccans, based on their race - NOT GUILTY!

Charge #5 Incitement to discrimination, against people, i.e. non-Western immigrants and/or Moroccans, based on their race - NOT GUILTY!

FITNA - Geert's film - NOT GUILTY for the statements made by this movie!

And while Wilders is not part of the coalition government, the support of Mr Wilders's Freedom Party (PVV) keeps it in power. If convicted, Wilders could have spent 16 months in prison and been fined 10,000 euros (13,800 dollars).

This was a seminal case. Wilders is our proxy -- the West is on trial.

Wonderful news. Keep the faith, Geert! Millions of free men and women all over the world support you and are grateful for what you have done and keep doing.

The Dutch court finally did something right! Mr. Wilders, get extra security. These crazed lunatics will be out for blood.

[kafur]

Well done Geert..... on ward and upward to government now.

[Heretique]

Thank god for that.

[dutchman]

Though we all can be glad for this good news there is one sobering thought. We should not be misguided for the real issue here: This case has proven that there is no freedom of speech in The Netherlands. It was a political show process. And this can happen again and again till there is a real change for free speech in the judicial system in The Netherlands.

Young people disturb again funeral procession in Amersfoort

Thursday, June 23, 2011 11: 46 am

In Amersfoort is again a funeral procession disturbed by young people. Students from the Islamic primary school Bilal strike Tuesday on their middle finger and cheered when a procession mourning cars driving by.

Cheering youths disrupted the funeral procession

That writes RTV Utrecht Thursday.

Excited
The incident took place on the Miereveldstraat. The family of the deceased is heavily affected by the action of the children. Theo Baaiman, son-in-law of the deceased, calls it ' behavior villainously ', writes The Telegraph.

The Director of the school takes the matter high on. the Director of the elementary school told to RTV Utrecht that he the kids in the classroom will appeal on their behavior.

' Jews '
In addition, he wants the families like to propose to the children so that the latter realize what they have done.

At the end of May was in the Soesterkwartier a procession rough disturbed. When young people cycled to the slow moving mourning car back and often called ' Jews '.

[Nat's daughter]

Great to awaken to great news! Geert Wilders is a man of honor.

[fern]

We certainly needed some good news. Look forward to hearing more from our Geert, now that this is out of the way, not that 'they' won't try again.

Stay safe Warrior, the World desperately needs you!

"When do the Islamic supremacists go on trial for inciting hatred against non-Muslims?"-Pamela

The "tolerance" of Islam by the West is based on the faulty premise that only the West has been imperialistic. It's as if the Ottoman Empire, the Arab Empire etc. never existed. Invasion and colonialism are embedded in the Islamic narrative and is still operational today. The West has confronted its imperial past: Islam has not confronted its imperial core-especially in the Mideast in regard to Israel.

There is more legitimate claim to Israel (e.g.) by Jews (both those who fled the Holocaust and those who fled Muslim countries) than Muslims have ever had to it, yet there is never even an attempt to accommodate the claims of non-Muslims, or even consider their needs in the region. "Islam must dominate." In the final analysis Muslims must dictate all terms re Israel and everything else.

Meanwhile, Muslims claim the Jewish people "stole Arab land"-ignoring all the land sales of Arabs (especially in the 1920s and afterward)to the Zionists, and ignore all the land and money lost to Jews who fled Muslim countries. The selfishness of Islam is boundless because Islam is supremacist. Only Muslims matter and everyone else must accommodate them.

[philipzhao]

Keep on fighting and get your country back !!

[Frank]

In the final analysis Geert Wilders and others are questioning the Islamic narrative and exposing the fact that so many Muslims are not even remotely willing to accommodate the hopes, dreams, beliefs and needs of non-Muslims. (The Muslim attitude to Israel is really an archetype of Muslim thinking re non-Muslims everywhere. They must dominate (that is mandated in the Qu'ran and for that reason Muslims will accommodate no one else' needs.) The will to imperial domination is deeply embedded in the Islamic mind as a result of their history (especially the Ottoman and Arab Empire), and any questioning of their imperialism causes many Muslims to feel they are victims.

[Brandy]

Incredible!! Thank you Geert for not backing down and actually digging in even more. People took notice! They'll see what the enemy is trying to do...silence any discussion about Islam. It's such a wonderful religion and way of life that they don't want anyone to know about it.

Thank you Geert! If you feel good about this verdict, imagine what Geert's feeling. Yes!!

[Amir]

HAPPIEST NEWS ITEM IN RECENT MEMORY!!!

[ro]

Finally, a ray of light in a world that seems to have gone mad. Now let's go after the murderous muslims for the countless crimes they commit against humanity every day.

[southwood]

Totally agree. But great news. One in the eye to the Muzzies. God willing the tide will turn soon.

[looloo]

I heard this news while in bed this morning, it made my day-thank G-d, well done Geert!!!

[kate b]

Prayers answered (thanks YY!)

A victory for plain common sense.

Three cheers for Geert.

[Mackie]

GREAT AND BEST NEWS IN A LONG TIME!! after years of dealing with this travesty of justice. When it comes to freedom of speech, common sense finally prevails after all in the Netherlands. Sadly even still Geert Wilders still remains a man who needs 24 hour security in his own country for his criticism of Islam.

This acquittal of Geert Wilders should reverberate across the world this morning for all lovers of freedom and liberty.

Thank God for such good news this morning!! There is hope yet

[dcat]

Sweet!

[Judi]

Adding my congratulations Geert - fantastic news. At last, a small chink of light at the end of a long dark tunnel.

[john jay]

pamela, friends:

i believe that wilders will press forward.

and, that he will define the limits of dutch "natural law" on free speech, as he did, indeed, violate statutory and administrative rules set by the netherlands and the e.u. but, the dutch judges found other sources to find his speech "protected."

this is a tremendous victory for the anti-jihad. a tremendous victory for free speech advocates in the netherlands, and in europe.

yahoo!!!

[lilredbird]

How wonderful to open up the FOX News site and see that great news! My Howard Roark" moment of the day! Geert Wilders is a hero of truth and the freedom to speak it.

[vlparker]

Great news!!!!! I'm amazed the judges acquitted him. They seemed to be a bunch of looney libs. If European leftist judges can come up with an intelligent, sane verdict maybe there is still hope for Europe.

[Cheryl Barker]

I read it over and over and still can't believe it. Wonderful news! Geert is a hero to me. The West is faltering and is indeed on trial. Soon there will be blasphemy trials in the US. With the marxist traitor at the helm and the federal govt. now overwhelmingly infested with the Termites for Allah, I fear the outcome. Geert, we need you more than ever now.

[Barry G.]

Awesome news.

[Annette]

Not quit what was going on in court , The judge told National Socialist Wilders that his behavior was antisocial an unappropriated but that there was free speech for everyone, Wilders was dismissed within 15 minutes because the judge didn’t want to cooperate in Wilders trying to get a conviction so he could be hero of right extremist in the Netherlands.

[morticia]

Yes.

[Sherab Zangpo]

Excellent news !!!
There is still hope for the West and Freedom.

[den]

People are waking up and their is a backlash against the politically correct and their Alice in wonderland vision where we all love each other and don't kill Infidels vision of the country.

People are sick of the violence these people bring and a destruction of their family, culture, and favoritism beyond reason to placate this endless sharia creep.

Dearborn, MI is an example in the US of these people setting up their own country and society in our midst threatening us if we even go there. Europe is rotten with this!

[Beagle]

For at least thirty years Islam merely "spread". Ever since Said's rigorously idiotic Orientalism took over higher education.

Saudi Arabia is occupied Jewish land. I read it in core Islamic texts.

[cornell]

CONGRATULATIONS, GEERT!!! You are our true, brave, inspiring hero.

[Ron Morgen]

This is why I turn on the computer first thing in the morning to read the (real) news.

[barr2]

I'm not encouraged by this ruling at all because this whole episode has shown that if anyone criticizes islam in the Netherlands they will put through such an ordeal that most future criticisms will be self suppressed. The fact that such a court even exists in a western country is an absolute joke to begin with. Sure it's great he was found innocent, but the repercussions of this charade are immense...the Netherlands is NOT a free country.

[angela]

Great news! Freedom of speech prevails in the West, as it should forever!

[Rocco Lore]

How long before the fascist liberals and Muslims riot?

[John P]

Great! Now move against the persecutors. The only good islamonazi is a dead one.

[Zilla]

This is fabulous news. Linked here: http://zillablog.marezilla.com/2011/06/let-freedom-ring-geert-wilders.html

[Zilla]

I'd be surprised if they weren't rioting already!

[Kufar Dawg]

Geert doesn't look too good in that picture, but I guess being persecuted by your own people for opposing Muslo-nazism would take a lot out of anyone.

Personally, I don't think this is the last time the Muslo-nazi collaborators in the Dutch judiciary will be persecuting Geert.

[Kufar Dawg]

Gee, would "Annette's" name happen to be Fatima? It's kinda funny, or maybe sick and twisted how the supporters of Islamo-nazism can only accuse the detractors of same of being Nazis.

Rent yourself a clue.

[JC]

Wow...this is such great news. Brought tears to my eyes. Thanks Geert for fighting for our western civilization and values of freedom. This is hope to bring Islam into the 21st century. (Maybe not in our life time!)

[Kufar Dawg]

I agree, the mere fact that people are being arrested, indicted and tried on charges like these says it all. Maybe the corrupt Dutch judiciary didn't want Geert convicted at all -- maybe they merely wanted to make a statement about what kind of free speech will be tolerated in the Netherlands. If the system itself is rotten to the core, what hope is there of reforming it from within?

[Radegunda]

Yeah, right. His expression proves how deeply disappointed he is that he couldn't "get a conviction so he could be hero of right extremist in the Netherlands."

Guess what, neanderthal: He's already a hero of truth-seekers and civilized people everywhere, and even more so now that he has won a victory for THE RIGHT TO SPEAK THE TRUTH.

[Radegunda]

Islam destroys everything it touches.

[Radegunda]

Would not a conviction have been a greater defeat for free speech? Does it really help the establishment to bring such a highly visible case and intentionally lose it?

The "not-guilty" verdict can be interpreted as "The establishment threw everything they could at Geert to silence him, but they had to admit that free people in civilized societies have a right to speak the truth." The message to others is: "You actually do have the right to speak the truth."

[Frank]

I've been reading Fromkin's book A Peace to end all peace again, as well as other history. I want to read Fromkin's book several more times to "own it." It is very clear that the Arab leaders in the 20s and 30s were selling huge tracts of land to the Zionists. After the Zionists turned crap land into productive land the Arab leaders and absentee landlords ginned up Jew-hating. The price of land went through the roof in Palestine. The Arab peasant suffered, but the phonies (arab leaders) that represented them in London talks (e.g.) with Churchill etc. walked away with big profits.

[Alyn]

Congratulations Geert Wilders. Hopefully his party will soon form the next government in Holland.

[elvis]

Congrats and thank you!

[BayouCoyote]

Wonderful news!

[Gleaner1]

Hearty congratulations to Geert, justice is served. May the Dutch people now gain the courage to reclaim thier country by electing the PVV. Now lets go get em, kicking boots on everyone.

[sDee]

Americans are willingly letting our politicians and judges dismantle our Constitution. Perhaps you can pick up our First Amendment on eBay for a few guilders.

[Annette]

Dont think s.o
1,2 mln.vote for Blondie, 12,5 mln more educated used there brain in stead of balls and voted someone else. 2 mln. Just want there beer btw.

Tonight Blondie is on Television, hope he will sing Denee Denee as he did mid 80's

[allahobama]

Praise be to GOD!

Keep up the good fight against SATAN and his moslims.

[patriot077]

Fantastic News! In honor of Geert's victory pledge that we will not be silenced. Let Freedom Ring!

[nick]

That is a rather strange theory. Wilders was charged & prosecuted because the authorities didn't want to convict him?

I think it's safe to say that if Wilders hadn't stood up to them and stayed firm, and they'd had the slightest sign of weakness & managed to pin a damned thing on him, he would have been done all right.

[nick]

Okay, we all agree that these charges should not have been brought in the first place; and we all agree that they were politically driven, so that the multiculti narrative could remain untouched in Holland. But.

Geert was found not guilty. That's no small thing.

If Geert had been found guilty then a legal precedent would have been set which would have restricted free speech in Holland. But the reverse is now true. A legal precedent is now there which will (I hope) make it even more difficult for the authorities in Holland to prosecute anyone else for talking about Islam.

(Hopefully.)

[Kufar Dawg]

I've read that in '48' the Arabs (code word for Muslo-nazis?) were selling their land to Jewish settlers in the expectation that they would be getting it back once the Arabs pushed the Jews into the sea.

[Kufar Dawg]

If you don't like the Netherlands you can always relocate to any one of the 50+ Muslo-nazi states which infest the globe. I imagine you won't have any problems fitting in -- as long as you're a Muslo-nazi yourself that is.

[Kufar Dawg]

Isn't that the truth. I've noticed I've actually begun watching Pat Robertson's Christian news broadcasts -- only because I'm tired of hearing and seeing the same old MSM lies about Israel, Islam and the Mid-East.

[Kufar Dawg]

The precedent has already been established, namely, that you CAN be charged, indicted and tried for criticising the "religion of peace". If you don't think THAT puts a damper on free speech think again. I'm sure Geert had competent legal council. What would happen to the people who criticise Muslo-nazism and can't afford competent legal council?

[Frank]

I do think the wealthy Arab leaders who sold land to the Zionists were looking for a "Twofer" and '48 put the kibosh on that. The wealthy Arabs wanted to sell the land to the Zionists and then take it back by force-using the average Muslim Arab to do that. The same people who were selling land to the Zionists were busy protesting against the Zionists buying land in Palestine, and they were also inciting the poor Arabs into a frenzy of Jew-hating.

Huge amounts of land were sold to the Zionists by a privileged "Palestinian" Muslim Arab leadership and Muslim Arab absentee landlords prior to '48. At first the Zionists only sought to buy the poor land (in fact, Chaim Weizmann advised the Zionists to avoid the good land and thus not displace Arab peasants), irrigate it, make it productive etc., but soon wealthy Arabs were offering Zionists good land at premium prices. The wealthy Arab land owners made a fortune.

In any case, the land (both crap land and good land that had been purchased by the Zionists), taken together, cobbled together, formed the first state of Israel in 48. Then the Arabs attacked, got their asses kicked, and Israel sought security by not letting the Muslim Arabs who fled come back.

Why should the Zionists have let Muslim Arab peasants come back? The Zionists did not want to give the wealthy Muslim Arabs a three-fer by letting wealthy Muslim Arabs sell land once to Zionists and then get the opportunity to take the land back twice using the Muslim Arab peasants to do that. If the Zionists had done that (let the lower income Arabs who fled come back) they would been known as the Meshugganas after '48, not the Zionists.

[Frank]

The poor Palestinian Arabs (Feisal told Weizmann that he did not even consider them Arabs, but said they only spoke Arabic) were pawns then and are pawns now of a "leadership" that is still using them as cannon fodder. The only difference is that now the stakes are much higher in terms of the violence the Muslim puppet-masters are willing to expose the poor Palestinians to.

[Paula K.]

This is wonderful. But Europe still does not have freedom of speech. Netherlands now should work toward getting a 1st amendment, and a 2nd amendment. If a people can't trust their govt. to protect them, they need the means to protect themselves.

[Frank]

When reading history one often comes across what seems like something insignificant, but which raises a number of questions. For example: why did Prince Feisal tell Weizman that he did not consider the "Palestinians" Arabs, but only that they spoke Arabic. Were the "Palestinians" themselves immigrants, and if so, where did they come from?

Why did Feisal say that?

In any case, people such as musa Kazim Pasha, who headed the "Palestinian" Arab delegation to London in 1921, and other Muslim Arab "leaders" like him, were selling good land to the Zionists at top prices. With friends like musa Kazim Pasha and others like him maybe the Palestinian Arab peasants needed Zionists because Chaim Weizman advised against buying land from the Musa Kazim Pasha types.

[livingengine]

First Bin Laden, now this.

I didn't think it would happen.

Thank you, Geert Wilders.

[R. Hartman]

The main problem is illustrated by Mr. Wilders phrasing of his joy:
"The Dutch are still allowed to speak critically about islam". Notice the word 'still' and the limitation 'about islam'.
'Still' implicates this may be over tomorrow. The choice of words indicates Mr. Wilders is very aware of the fact that we're on a downhill slope, and the downhill motion has not stopped because of this verdict. It also indicates that Mr. Wilders accepts this as inevitable. The proper statement would have been:
"The court today confirmed the right to free speech, the right to voice an opinion which others may disagree with or even find offending."

The limitation 'about islam' indicates that the free speech we still have is selective. Internet journalist Micha Kat fights corrupt judges and the widespread paedophilia in the (not only Dutch) government, 'Royal' family and justice department. Justices and lawyers who do not want to answer unpleasant questions abuse the power of the state to have police officers restrain Mr. Kat when he wants to interview 'lawyers', or even listen in to interviews conducted by the MSM. This is being made possible by the highest civil servant in the 'Justice' Department, Joris Demmink, against whom many indictements of child abuse, child rape and even murder have been brought forward, but which do not get investigated. A sequence of 'Justice' ministers keep claiming there's nothing to be investigated. Video here (Dutch, but the video is pretty self-evident).

Mr. Kat has also investigated the murder of a teenage girl by musim asylum-seekers, who were escorted out of the country by the 'Justice Department' as no negative news should affect the asylum industry. All truth-seeking actions are being blocked by the authorities, using blatant lies and falsified papers. Mr. Wilders' party, like all others, refuses to pursue this. Lawyers who try, like Adèle van der Plas, have been receiving death threats to force them to stop their actions. One lawyer, representing an abused child, suddenly fell off his bike, hart-failure, just like that. There are more related, suspicious deaths (Maarten van Traa, Demminks chauffeur Mosterd ; both heart-failure).

While I understand that Mr. Wilders cannot address and follow up on all these matters, his party could do much more to support investigation of these issues; there's pretty solid evidence, with timelines covering years of criminal activity.

The Netherlands is rapidly turning into a more and more fascist state, like Obama's USA, by the way. Islam is just a means for 'liberal' politicians to increase their power and enslave the people even more. The wellfare state is an ideal means for that, as is the TLC-engineered 'financial crisis', as it empoverishes people and damages capitalism. While Mr. Wilders is fighting islam, he wants to maintain the nanny-state, ignoring the fact that without the nanny-state islam would never have been a problem in the West, since there would not have been 'free money', and thus no immigration politics.

The biggest threat to our freedom, to Western values, is not islam, but out own politicians, who use islam as a tool, apparently believing that they themselves will be spared from the monster they're creating, feeding the crocodile.

[Kufar Dawg]

Thanks for your further elucidation on the topic of how duplicitous the Arabs were in '48'.

It's sad that all the idealism that seemed to have existed when Israel was formed vis-a-vis the Arabs seems to have been nothing more than a pipe-dream.

Couldn't this Arab-Israeli conflict really be more accurately described as a Islamic imperialism problem? After all, it's no accident that the Arabs were yelling Allah Ackbar as they crossed the Sinai in '73'.

[Frank]

There were many Zionists and Arabs who saw Jewish nationalism and Arab nationalism (after the break-up of the Ottoman Empire) as perfectly compatible with each other. Many Zionists thought (as did many Arabs in Palestine) that a perfect partnership was being formed. (However, it became a little dangerous for Arabs of that opinion (that Zionism would be good for Arabs, too) to say that in public. They both (Zionists and some Arabs) underestimated Islam's dogmas.

All the good possibilities were lost because the Muslims who objected to Zionism could not be honest about their real objection to what the Jews were accomplishing in Palestine (Tel Aviv was sand dunes being turned into a city). Their real objection was based in Islam's dogmas. Everything else Churchill was hearing was a smokescreen.

Churchill was deeply impressed by the electrification and irrigation programs of the Zionists. In the House of Commons Churchill said (1922):

"I am told the Arabs would have done it for themselves. Who is going to believe that? Left to themselves, the Arabs of Palestine would not in a thousand years have taken effective steps toward the irrigation and electrification of Palestine. They would have been quite content to dwell-a handful of philosophic people-in the wasted sun-scorched plains., letting the waters of the Jordan continue to flow unbridled and unharnessed into the Dead Sea."-page 523, A peace to end all peace, David Fromkin.

(BTW-that Hitler's Muffy guy (the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem) was a big problem. That guy was real over-the-top Jew-hater. He was not playing with a full deck.)

[Auntie Gin]

Thank you G_d. Thank you Geert. What a warrior. "and miles to go before we sleep"

[ADHD]

Very good news indeed - thanks be to God!!! ALAS, there's a LOT MORE work to be done to ensure that this victory is permanent and genuine - far too many élitists are all too willing to destroy their subjects' freedoms in the name of "appeasement" and for the sake of Arab oil and their "perfect Communism"!!!! [That includes Beatrix van Oranje-Nassau, the Dutch queen, who's known to hate Wilders personally...]
