Court of Amsterdam acquits Geert Wilders of all charges

This morning, June 23, 2011, the Court of Amsterdam has acquitted Geert Wilders of all charges.

“I am delighted with this ruling,” says Geert Wilders. “It is a victory, not only for me but for all the Dutch people. Today is a victory for freedom of speech. The Dutch are still allowed to speak critically about islam, and resistance against islamisation is not a crime. I have spoken, I speak and I shall continue to speak.”

Wilders, 47, was charged with inciting hatred and insulting Muslims, for calling the Koran “fascist” and comparing it to Adolf Hitler’s book “Mein Kampf” in 2007. A year later, his movie “Fitna,” urged Muslims to rip out “hate-preaching” verses from the book.
