Once More With Fatwas

Now that Geert Wilders is free from the threat of prosecution (at least in the Netherlands) for making Fitna, he has decided to rest on his laurels and not do anything else controversial…

NOT.

Today’s NIS has the story. My favorite quote: “I do not have to keep to the laws of banana republics like Jordan and Saudi Arabia.”

Wilders Weighs Fitna Sequel

Geert Wilders Party for Freedom (PVV) leader Geert Wilders is considering making a sequel to his anti-Islam film Fitna.

After investigating dozens of complaints against the politician, the public prosecutor’s office (OM) decided on Monday that none of these indicate punishable offences. “The decision of the OM is a good overture to a book of Fitna 2,” Wilders said yesterday.

Wilders yesterday also asked Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen to summon the Jordanian ambassador in The Hague. A prosecutor in that country is preparing a case against Wilders for insulting Islam.

“I do not have to keep to the laws of banana republics like Jordan and Saudi Arabia,” Wilders explained. The Dutch OM’s decision not to prosecute him “should be presented in golden gift-wrapping to those lunatics in Amman.”

The threat of a possible international arrest from Jordan worries Wilders. In the Netherlands as well, Muslim organisations still continue to feel that Wilders’ criticism of Islam is an offence; they are going to ask judges to force the OM to prosecute after all.


Hat tip: TB.

It seems to me that Western society is on a losing trend in this battle, and the main reason is not the militant demands from Muslim immigrants but rather the practice of so many Dhimmis bending over for their demands.

One of the very few sane politicians left in Europe.

Geert Wilders is fast becoming my favorite politician. He's unbowed and thinking about a sequel to Fitna. Bravo Geert, you go guy!

However, he should apologize to banana republics everywhere for comparing Saudi Arabia and Jordan to them. Islamic countries are several levels below banana republics, and can only dream of being THAT advanced.

How long before Amman engages in extrajudicial action against Wilders?

Jordan and all of Islam are already engaged in "extrajudicial" action. It's called "terrorism".

It's long past tea for them to get a dose of their own medicine.

None of that, as yet, has been personally directed at Wilders. I was referring to an actual attempt to murder him, not a threat to.
