As I wrote earlier, the Dutch government is seriously considering pressing charges against Geert Wilders for exercising his freedom of speech. Islamic nations have pledged a boycott of Dutch products unless the critic is dealt with, and that’s quite possibly influencing the decision to prosecute Wilders.

What can we do about it? Two can play the boycott game, as Rusty Shackleford emails. Go here to sign the following petition:

To: The Dutch Government

WHEREAS Geert Wilders has exercised his fundamental human right of freedom of expression and spoken out, with facts and evidence, of the threat posed by radical Islam;

WHEREAS certain elements within Islamic communities have threatened a boycott of Dutch goods if Geert Wilders is not punished by the Dutch government for exercising his freedom of expression; and

WHEREAS certain elements in Dutch industry and the Dutch government are suggesting that Geert Wilders be prosecuted civilly or criminally, in order to prevent such a boycott;

IT IS RESOLVED that, in the event that the Dutch government attempts, in any way, to punish or prosecute Geert Wilders, civilly or criminally, for exercising his freedom of expression, the undersigned will initiate a boycott of any and all Dutch goods.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
