Not So Free Speech

(Fox News) - The leader of the opposition political party in the Netherlands is being prosecuted by the government for insulting Muslims.

Geert Wilders is charged with inciting hatred and discrimination. Wilders advocates banning the Koran, which he calls "the Islamic 'Mein Kampf'" — referring to Adolf Hitler's political manifesto.

The Washington Times reports Wilders produced a documentary last year juxtaposing verses from the Koran with scenes of violence from Islamic militants.

Last month, the United Nations General Assembly passed a non-binding resolution that would make this kind of prosecution commonplace. The draft urges U.N. members to take action against what it calls "defamation of religion" and "incitement to religious hatred."
