Dutch cabinet trying to ban Fitna

Reuters reports that the Dutch government is actually looking in to the possibility of banning Geert Wilders’ anti-Koran film, Fitna. The government is divided between the Christian Democrats, who favour a ban, and the Labour party which is standing up for freedom of expression and putting the onus on Muslim countries to prevent violent reactions to the film.

The Pub Philosopher sums up the issue succinctly:

this latest row is not just about a film. The issue is whether non-Muslims in non-Muslim countries are able to criticise a religion, in accordance with the legal freedoms in their countries. Are western governments prepared to uphold those freedoms or will they change their own laws in response to violence from external states and internal religious minorities?

Looks like the Dutch are wavering at this point.

    The more the barbarians are exposed to deserved criticism and ridicule, the sooner they will become inured to it and grow up. Eventually, they may no longer need to wear diapers on their heads, to catch what now comes out of them.
