A Dutch rapper has been convicted of threatening an anti-Islamic lawmaker in a song.
The song by the rapper Mosheb refers to lawmaker Geert Wilders and includes the lyrics, "Geert, this is no joke/Last night I dreamt I hacked off your head."
A political party campaigning against anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders has been struck off the electoral register by the mayor of the Dutch city of The Hague. The city is one of only two where Mr Wilders' Freedom Party will be fielding candidates in local elections in March.
Three weeks from today, Geert Wilders will go on trial in Amsterdam for defaming Islam.
From the point of view of the Counterjihad, this is the trial of the century. No matter which way the case is decided, the outcome will profoundly influence the struggle against Islamization over the entire continent of Europe, and even across the rest of the Western world.
Free speech goes on trial in the Netherlands on January 20, when Dutch politician Geert Wilders appears before the Amsterdam District Court on charges of having “intentionally offended a group of people, i.e. Muslims, based on their religion,” as well as having incited to hatred and discrimination.
Dutch anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders has come in second in two polls for politician of the year. A panel of Dutch television viewers said he is the second best politician this year, while Mr Wilders' colleagues in parliament named him the second worst.
Quite a discrepancy. But, actually, not so surprising. It is yet more evidence of the gap between the public and the elite.
