Reader comment on item: Western Civilization on Trial: Why We Should Be Watching Geert Wilders
in response to reader comment: silence in the face of the Wilders trial is a variation of a traditional antisemitic argument
Submitted by janusz Kowalik (United States), Feb 9, 2010 at 12:55
Mr Wilders indeed derserves our highest respect. But he is not only courageous he is also right in his movie.
Mr Wilders has received many death threaths and is under the round the clock protection.
And now instead of the people who want to kill him he is on trial. How much more stupidity could the Duch government show the rest of the free world.We all Europeans forget that eliminating the freedom of speech was one of the first steps That Hitler ttook after becoming Chancellor in 1933.
Islamofascism understands this process but we have not learned the historucal lesson.
