Geert Wilders "Crime"

i'm not too familiar with this case, isn't this about Mr Wilders having a sneezing fit as he passed by a mosque and then being accused of using a biological germ weapon against a moslem holy site?

Seriously, this is about the usual politically correct tripe that we are being forced to endure all over the world. in the contex of a debate, Mr Wilders said something or other that raised the hackles of some moslems, innstead of uttilizing logic and common sense to refute Mr Wilders statements, these moslems decided they'd been grossly insulted and went to the Dutch authorities and charged Mr Wilders with using hate speech and being a religious bigot. so these Dutch Authorities bent over backwards to be politically correct and ordered Mr Wilders to stand trial on these trumped up charges. while the prosecutors were reluctant to proceed with this specious case, some of the judges insisted on the case going forward because the insulted moslems were hot to testify as the "vicitims of this "hate" crime" now it seems that cooler heads may be coiming in to play as charges may finally dropped as idiotic and without real basis. because of some judges the story may not yet be over, but we can only hope this judical persecution will stop. anytime anyone says anything about Islam, the "religion of perpetual outrage" will be certain to rant and rave to make a mountain out of a molehill. are we idiotic to put up with these cries of constant victimhood? you bet we are, but we continue to do it.
