Dutchmen for Geert Wilders
As an individual of 100% Dutch descent (my grandparents came over on the boat), and, more importantly, as an individual who fully understands the importance of freedom of speech not only here in the United States, but everywhere, I am appalled at the fact that Dutch authorities are prosecuting Geert Wilders for his criticisms of Islam in his movie Fitna.
Perry de Havilland notes this travesty in a post at Samizdata titled A Dutch disgrace (you can watch the movie Fitna at the link for Perry’s post).
Also at Samizdata, Thaddeus Tremayne encourages individuals to Support Geert Wilders.
As Thaddeus Tremayne states, if you cannot support Geert Wilders monetarily, you can always support him by acknowledging that he is being unjustly prosecuted. Drop Geert Wilders a supportive note at the link for his name, above.
