1. full crash.
fish israel   (01.21.09)
some 20-30 years more, and europe will start war with Israel. there will come a point in time, that policy makers there will decide to do that.
2. A black day indeed
Alon K. ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (01.21.09)
This only goes to prove that Eurabia is scared to death of their Muslim population - what if they should protest a bit - we cant have that!. But if they don't wake up soon it will be too late. I hope though that America does not come to Europe's rescue when the takeover is complete. Let them suffer for a while. Europe prides itself in being politically correct over its own well-being. The road to hell is indeed paved with good intentions.
3. Another EU State bites the dust
William ,   Israel   (01.21.09)
With freedom of speech and humans rights the first to go, Islam slow spreads its hate ideology across Europe. Nothing Geert projected in the film is false. They are all taken from the Koran and used by the very Islamists to incite hatred. Geert is guilty of nothing more than stating the obvious and being a non-Muslim. Apparently, that's now a crime in Holland. While the court sees fit to prosecute him for comparing Islam ot Nazis, they feel its Freedom of Speech for Muslims to compare Zionism and Israel to Nazis.
4. THE NEW EUROPE GET USED TO IT
Yakov   (01.21.09)
Europe is lost to the muslims. Any remaining Jews must flee to israel.
5. Fitna
Leon ,   Grand Rapids USA   (01.21.09)
Black day for freedom of expression. When statements made with proof are outlawed in the name of political correctness, truth is destroyed.
6. The Reprobate Dutch
Marcel ,   Florida   (01.21.09)
Europe is Finished ! Will they ever put Islam's teachers of the Koran on trial for teaching their children to hate and kill non-moslems for their god ? No, they are too perverted and cowardly . This is what Islam teaches. .....ladies and gentlemen, and especially you benevolent and humanitarian liberal Christians of Europe, come meet your fate in the words of Mohamed: “SLAY THE INFIDELS WHEREVER YE MAY FIND THEM AND DRIVE THEM OUT OF THE PLACES WHENCE THEY DROVE YOU OUT, FOR PERSECUTION IS WORSE THAN SLAUGHTER [...] FIGHT AGAINST THEM UNTIL IDOLATRY IS NO MORE, AND ALLAH’S RELIGION REIGNS SUPREME. OH BELIEVERS, TAKE NO CHRISTIANS AND JEWS AS FRIENDS, FOR THEY ARE FRIENDS TO EACH OTHERS. BEWARE OF THEM, AND THOSE OF YOU WHO MAKE THEM HIS FRIENDS IS ONE OF THEM [...] MAKE WAR ON THEM UNTIL IDOLATRY IS NO MORE. PUT THEM TO THE SWORD! BURN THEIR BOOKS! FOR GOD DOES NOT GUIDE AN UNJUST PEOPLE [...] OH PROPHET! EXHORT THE BELIEVERS TO FIGHT! IF THERE ARE TWENTY STEADFAST MEN AMONGST YOU, THEY SHALT VANQUISH TWO-HUNDRED; AND IF THERE ARE A HUNDRED, THEY SHALT ROUT A THOUSAND INFIDELS, FOR THEY ARE DEVOID OF UNDERSTANDING AND DELUDED AWAY FROM THE TRUTH [...] FIGHT IS PROSCRIBED TO YOU, SONS OF ALLAH AS MUCH AS YOU DISLIKE IT. AND IF YOU DIE OR BE KILLED IN THE CAUSE OF THE MERCIFUL, BEFORE HIM YE SHALT ALL BE GATHERED. YE SHALT NOT THINK THAT THE MARTYRS ARE DEAD, FOR THEY ARE ALIVE AND WELL PROVIDED FOR BY THE OMNIPOTENT [...] WHEN YE MEET THE INFIDELS, SMITE THEIR NECKS; THEN, WHEN YE HAVE MADE WIDE SLAUGHTER OF THEM, TIE FAST THE BONDS. AND WHEN YE MEET THEM IN THE BATTLEFIELD, STRIKE OFF THEIR HEADS AND IF THEY HIDE BENEATH THE ROCK IN FEAR AND DESPAIR, LIFT THE ROCK AND BEHEAD THEM. KILL THEM, KILL THEM ALL WHEREVER THEY MAY BE, AND THEIR CHILDREN, AND THE CHILDREN OF THEIR CHILDREN. HAVE NO MERCY! SEIZE THEM, BELEAGUER THEM FOR THEY ARE THE ENEMIES OF ALLAH, AND THEY WILL ROAST IN HELL.
7. Not much justice there when they let a rapist/abductor
Rivkah   (01.21.09)
and possibly murderer of an American teenager in Aruba run around the Netherlands a free man, but want to prosecute a Minister for speaking the truth.
8. The Dutch Appeal Court should read the Koran!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (01.21.09)
Particularly the part about killing Jews! "Note: Mo-ham-mad taught Muslims to kill Jews. Sahih Bukhari Hadith Volume 4, Book 52, Number 176: Narrated by 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: Allah's Apostle said, "You (i.e. Muslims) will fight with the Jews till some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, 'O 'Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.'" Sahih Bukhari Hadith Volume 4, Book 52, Number 177: Narrated by Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him." Note: Mo-ham-mad taught Muslims to kill non-Muslims. Qur'an 2:191: And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers." http://www.truthandgrace.com/muslimkillcommands.htm I don't know MP Geert Wilders opinions on Jews but his remarks about Islamic violence are well founded!
9. Good Morning Eurabia!
EGGM ,   Petah Tikva, Israel   (01.21.09)
10. A price to pay...
Marco ,   Spain   (01.21.09)
Fo rbeing a biggot.
11. Wilders is right !
Real Holland ,   Netherlands   (01.21.09)
I saw the film Fitn aon Youtbe; the movie told us the truth, and is even begign in regard of the nocievity of Islamic terror worldwide. Wilders is a brav eman and he have my support. Al real westerners must support this man who fight for ou civilization against a mediavel destertic barabarism
12. No, he presented facts. ISLAMISTS incite & commit violence.
Global Citizen ,   Israel & USA   (01.21.09)
13. what a shame!
oded   (01.21.09)
mr. wilders is the truth -seeker and speaker. he tells it like it is, without being p-c. and the truth always hurts.... the ones who should be on trial are the inflammtory mulaahs and preachers in the dutch mosques who spew their anti -west venom daily
14. Dutch court "submits" to Islamic values
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (01.21.09)
It seems clear that as Muslim numbers in Western countries increase, they increasingly impose their values above those of their host countries. And one of the first things that go is free speech. "Fitna" poses a challenge to the political correctness of Islam as a "Religion of Peace" and some obviously want to suppress its message. But Holland is not the only place where such freedoms are under assault. In Canada (yes, Canada!) one can be prosecuted for "hate speech" and hauled before a kangaroo court under provisions of the Human Rights Act. Mark Steyn (author of "America Alone") and Ezra Levant are among its most famous victims. Most disgracefully, Jewish groups continue to support this travesty as a means of fighting holocaust denial and the like. They don't consider the "unintended consequences".
15. Surely there's enough documentation to prove Wilders has a v

16. FITNA...Producer to be prosecuted!
Spencer ,   Israel   (01.21.09)
This really is a bad day for freedom of speech in the Netherlands. Nort only hjas their appeal court taken away the right of "Freedom of Speec h", it's failed to see the truth of what Wilders' film shows.
17. Geert Wilders: telling truth and being prosecuted
Paolo Ortenzi ,   Rome, Italy   (01.21.09)
I guess Geert Wilders remembers very well how Amsterdam and other Dutch cities were once: peaceful and tolerant toward everyone. I think Wilders remembers very well WHY Theo Van Gogh was killed: because Van Gogh was telling a uncomfortable truth about Islam. There are many ways to kill a man: one is to forbid him to tell the truth. Radical Muslims succeded in this. Who's next?
18. Political correctness gone wild.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (01.21.09)
''Europe Surrenders'' would be an appropriate headline for this story. You can say goodby to freedom of speech in Europe, followed by other freedoms in short order.
19. Why not try him in an Islamic court?
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (01.21.09)
Then they could kill him for blasphemy. The Dutch court will soon become a Sharia court - they can perhaps revive the Inquisition as well & later organize the Thought-Police to catch any dangerous free-thinkers. Had Mr Wilders criticised any other religion, no one would have said a word.
20. Geert Wilders to be prosecuted
Patrick Hogenboom ,   Maastricht Holland   (01.21.09)
The Amsterdam Court who ordered the prosecution of Wilders, motivated this in part because it thinks that comparing the Qu'ran to 'Mein Kampf' and Islam to fascism insults muslims. I know few muslims who openly reject nazism. The court's motivation is therefore fallacious. Many muslims like Hitler for what he did to Jews.
21. Prosecuted for telling facts? This is a dark day
David ,   Boston, USA   (01.21.09)
Eurabia is doomed. They never learn from the past.
22. Dutch hypocrisy...again
Arie ,   BaGolan   (01.21.09)
When Dutch PMs attack Judaism it is called 'freedom of speech'; when a Dutch PM speaks out against Islam, he is prosecuted. WELCOME TO EURABIA
23. Basic Problem - Allah Does Not Like Muslims
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (01.21.09)
24. FREEDOM OF SPEACH TO DENY HOLOCAUST!!!
YOAV ,   TEL AVIV   (01.21.09)
WHY WE ARREST AND BAN PEOPLE WHO DENY THE HOLOCAUST THANT EVER HAPPENED..LET ALL HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEACH. IF SOMEONE WANT TO DENY OUR HOLOCAUST THAT SHOULD BE FINE, IT'S PART OF FREEDOM OF SPEACH...
25. A scandalous judgment
Avi ,   Geneva   (01.21.09)
The Dutch are giving up their freedoms voluntarily, without putting up a fight, just out of fear of Islam. They attack their own most courageous Dutch defender instead of acting against the Moslem attackers.
26. Dutch MP to be prosecuted over anti-Islam comments
Leon Rogson ,   Los Angeles   (01.21.09)
I wonder how many prosecutions there have been of Islamic religious and political leaders for anti western, or anti-semitic statements? Leon
27. The whole book is just a cult.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (01.21.09)
Why shouldn't the truth come out for once? Just because some nut wrote a bunch of gobbly goo saveral hunderd years ago......does it make it true. No one has the right to tell anyone that the book is real except Allah? And none of us has seen hide nor hair of that ghost. I don't see any God declaring fatwas. I only see little old bearded gents, with inferiority complexes, with their little book full of weird teaching about killing whomever won't follow the cult's teachings. It's about time someone stood up and said enough no the killings, by a barbaric cult group. They have the freedom to incite religioud hatred though......we wouldn't want to question that?????
28. What about other religions
Jawad ,   Palestine   (01.21.09)
What about the statement by Rabbis last week for the right of Israeli soldiers to kill Palestinian citizens at the time of war. Religions are the main source of hatred, discrimination and wars. Look @ your miiror before talking about Islam.
29. #10...but anything goes for a moslem bigot....
JL: ,   israel   (01.21.09)
dont worry....your day is coming...and sooner then you think idiot
30. To 28
Smith   (01.21.09)
You should learn to make difference between a rabbi told and what the torah told. The problem with islam is not imman told but the koran by itself
