Geert Wilders was to go on trial today in the Netherlands. His crime – giving his opinion about the dangers of Islam. throughout Europe radical Islamofascist preachers (Anjam Choudray of Britain) can spout all sorts of vile hatred against the West, America, Christianity and Judaism but the “liberal” Dutch feel the need to produce their own version of Alfred Dreyfus. However his trial has been postponed based on his claim of the judge being biased. Note how Wilders (a very philo-Semitic fellow) is referred to as a “far-right politician”. Is Charles Johnson doing the editing over there?

The trial of controversial Dutch politician Geert Wilders has been adjourned after he accused the judges of impartiality.
Wilders was charged with inciting hatred against Muslims after he compared the Islamic faith to Nazism and claimed the Koran is fascist.
The far-right politician is widely known for his anti-Muslim message and has been put under police protection after a number of death threats.
He is outspoken in his belief that immigration of people from Islamic nations must be stopped.
Before proceedings got under way, Wilders gave a short statement: “I have said what I have said and I will not take one word back.”

Happy to speak during this hearing, Wilders said the “appearance of bias” meant a fair trial was “no longer possible”.
“I find it … inappropriate, improper and even scandalous that the chairman of the court interprets this and commentates on it.”
The hearing ended and Wilders’ trial was adjourned until Tuesday, when a decision would be made on whether to bring in new judges.
Wilders’ extreme views have gained ground in the Netherlands, with his Freedom Party winning an increased number of seats at elections in June.
