SHAME......Shame is exactly what I felt when I heard of the travesty that is occurring in my Birth land.

With the Appellate Courts' recent decision from Den Hague against Geert Wilders last Wednesday, freedom of speech is officially dead in the Netherlands. (And as Den Hague is in reality really the U.N. "World Court"; by extension, there is no longer truly free speech in the rest of Europe either.)

When a duly and freely elected member of a government can no longer be free to speak his mind; what chance is there for any of the rest of us? Mr. Wilders is now headed to stand trial for "inciting hate speech" for his film "Fitna".

Misha has a link to Fitna on LiveLeak over at the Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler. I would have posted it here as well, but it seems LiveLeak doesn't like my formatting (besides, Misha deserves the heads up on this one, that darned Dane.)

Go and watch the movie....note that Geert only has two (of his own lines) in the entire film, and they amount to "fight extremism before it overwhelms us". Really hateful huh?!? The entire film is merely excerpts from the Quran and PUBLIC speeches of spiritual(!?) leaders of Islam. If anyone was hateful and inciting of violence it was the Imams and Muslim heads of state, not Mr. Wilders.

If you feel as I do, please, Please, PLEASE, sign the International Petition to halt this travesty at: http://www.petitiononline.com/wilders/petition.html ( H/T to HoosierArmyMom)

This is one time I hope a lot of Democrats participate -- vote often and use fake names/the dead to raise the count, if need be, to win the day.
