The Dutch prosecutor’s office is preparing to take legal action against the maker of an ‘anti-Koran’ film in an attempt to ease tensions over the film’s release, the Dutch foreign minister said on Monday.
Not acceptable. Now the Dutch are prosecuting someone for (literally) criticizing a religion? Exercise your right to free speech, go to jail?

If Wilders is indeed prosecuted, it’s time to boycott the Netherlands.
Couldn’t agree more. Obviously the freedom of expression isn’t a coveted human right there. The government is more interesting in bowing down to foreign Muslim countries in their attempts to stifle criticism of Islam.
