Double Standard in Holland

So this sums up the current situation in Holland. If you are a muslim you are free to engage in true hate speech, but a non-muslim will be prosecuted for truthful criticism of islam‬ under the guise of violating hate speech laws.

The criminal proceedings against Geert Wilders will continue in October of this year.‬

MP Geert Wilders will go on trial for inciting hatred and discrimination in October, not June as first thought, the Volkskrant reports on Tuesday.

Amsterdam court said it had been forced to make the change because of scheduling problems. The court says it needs five days to hear evidence in the case.

The MP faces five charges religious insult and anti-Muslim incitement. In January, the public prosecution department extended the prosecution case to include inciting hatred of Muslims, Moroccans and non-Western immigrants.

The PVV wanted to be part of the next cabinet, Wilders said: 'Without the PVV in government, the Netherlands will further slide into the swamp of politically-correct inaction.'
