The opening as it read in 2010
A trial of Dutch politician Geert Wilders is ongoing in The Netherlands in 2010. In 2008, Wilders was charged as well by a prosecutor in Jordan with blasphemy and contempt for Muslims for making his anti- Koran film " Fitna ".1Wilders is the leader of the Party for Freedom and is known for his criticisms of Islam and what he describes as the Islamization of the Netherlands .2In The Netherlands he is being prosecuted on charges that on several occasions in 2007 and 2008 he insulted Muslims and fomented hate and discrimination against them because of their religion. He is also accused of fomenting hate and discrimination against non-Western foreigners, including Moroccans . The trial is seen as a test of freedom of speech and hate speech issues. Wilders wrote in an August 8, 2007, open letter to the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant that the Koran , which he called a "fascist book", should be outlawed in the Netherlands , like Adolf Hitler 's Mein Kampf . He has stated that "[t]he book incites hatred and killing and therefore has no place in our legal order." He has also referred to Mohammed as "the devil ". In 2008, Wilders published the film Fitna , that explores Koranic inspired motivations for terrorism , Islamic universalism , and Islam in the Netherlands .
