More Fall-Out on the Dutch Prostration Before Obscurantism

- Pat Condell on the events in the Netherlands, the birthplace of de Spinoza
(Amsterdam, November 24, 1632 – The Hague, February 21, 1677) -

By the way, let's get something straight! Islam has nothing to do with race. That myth is pushed on the basis that children born to a Muslim father, are automatically absorbed into the collective Ummah. One could argue on that basis that - like race - to be a Muslim isn't a matter of choice: one cannot help it, as it were! But acting against the pernicious influence of Islamism, as a religion and as a total-ideology, has nothing to do with racism.

Here's that despicable piece of solidified hatred produced by the Amsterdam Court of Appeal. Read it! You'll be amazed how fast a country can slip into the abyss! The essence of the indictment is, insults against Islam. Since when is that notion part of Western culture? The Dark Ages are actually starting to look relatively bright in comparison! What's next? Heresy laws? The stake or the rack?

You can help and contribute towards Wilders' legal funds on this site, and ... or - and this is fun - you can order printed t-shirts from the Flaming Blog here--a wonderful American grassroots initiative by the way!

Update:

• Wilders Freedom Party poll numbers soaring from 9 to 20 seats in Parliament.

• Atlas Shrugs: "Using HOLOCAUST IMAGES (aka JIHAD PORN) Egyptian Cleric Calls for a Holocaust on Televison while Muslim Council of Britain Boycotts Holocaust Memorial Day Again"
  
  (...) Andy Bostom points out that this esteemed Egyptian cleric CALLING FOR A SECOND HOLOCAUST ON TELEVISION CITES KORANIC VERSE 8:60, the exact same the verse that Wilders cites in FITNA. Someone ought to tell Rick Moran to get a clue. (...) >>>
  
  (hmm, I'm starting to give up on him) ... a word of caution: includes graphic holocaust footage.
  

Hmm, more fall-out:

Cranmer: "Lord Ahmed threatens Parliament into submission"

It appears that a member of the House of Lords had invited the Dutch politician, Geert Wilders, to a private meeting in the Palace of Westminster. She had intended to invite her colleagues in the Lords to a private viewing of his ‘documentary’ Fitna, followed by discussion and debate in true parliamentary fashion. This is, after all, a liberal democracy, and their lordships enjoy the rights of freedom of expression and freedom of association, not to mention certain parliamentary privileges for the protection of their function in the legislature.

But no sooner had the unsuspecting baroness sent out her invitations, Lord Ahmed raised hell. It is reported that he ‘threatened to mobilise 10,000 Muslims to prevent Mr Wilders from entering the House and threatened to take the colleague who was organising the event to court’. And so Fitna has been cancelled: it shall not now be screened in the House of Lords on 29th January.
The Pakistani Press is jubliant, and Lord Ahmed is praising Allah for delivering ‘a victory for the Muslim community’. (...) >>>
