OIC angry at Wilders court decision
The Organisation of the Islamic Conference has reacted with anger to the Dutch prosecutor’s decision not to charge Geert Wilders for making and publishing Fitna.
According to a statement from the OIC Observatory on Islamophobia:
The Spokesman said that despite admitting that the so-called “film†was “hurtful and insulting†(to Muslims), the Dutch Public Prosecutor failed to see in this stark and outrageous agitational work and incitement to “hostility†or hatred against the Muslim community in the Netherlands or against Muslims by their hundreds of millions. In so doing, the Dutch Public Prosecutor seems to ignore the fine line of “responsibility†separating the freedom of expression from incitement to hatred, hostility and discrimination.
No, the line wasn’t ignored – it was just drawn in a different place.
The Spokesman further added that this attitude of the authorities in the Netherlands is not conducive to facilitating dialogue or reaching understanding on sensitive issues which entails disagreements and risks.
Risks? What risks can he be talking about?
The risks ? You know, the sort of risks that are taken by the wife of an abuser, when she asks him what time he’ll get home from the pub.
Wilders has just been ordered to face blasphemy charges in Jordan, according to this report:
