Wilders: next round

The saga of Geert Wilders continues. As Jihad Watch reports, the House of Lords has reconsidered its pusillanimity and will now hear Wilders speak and view his film Fitna later this month. Meanwhile, Melanie Phillips provides more details of just what happened last time:

"But various representatives of the Muslim community protested; and Lord Ahmed issued a threat that he would personally mobilise 10,000 Muslims to prevent Wilders from entering the Upper House and would take the peer organising the event to court. In the face of such threats, the meeting was cancelled." Incredible.

Wilders, facing his own court case in the Netherlands, has asked the Dutch Supreme Court to halt his prosecution on hate-speech charges. Again, as Jihad Watch points out, the Koranic quotes for which he is being attacked were actually made by Islamists. Wilders merely juxtaposed them with images of Muslims responding to the Islamists' incitements.
