With Geert Wilders at the helm, the Netherlands now prosecutes an Islamic imam for issuing a fatwa
Today, September 2nd, is a historic day. It is the first time ever that an Islamic cleric will have to stand trial for issuing an assassination fatwa.I hope this means the culprits are in custody/prison, and thus being tried in absentia. Because they cannot be allowed to roam the streets free, something that's tragically become the norm even in the USA in some cases.

Wilders has come a long way in surviving the dangers, and will hopefully be able to deal with this case as best as possible.

The same thing happened on that ominous evening to my colleague, fellow member of the Dutch Parliament, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a fugitive from Islamic Somalia. We had both been fierce critics of Islam and the Islamization of our country, the Netherlands. As a result of this, Islamic death threats or fatwas ordering the Islamic faithful to kill us had been issued. [...]
Today, in Amsterdam, the court case begins against two Pakistani citizens, Muhammed Ashraf Asif Jalali (55) and Saad Hussain Rizvi (29). Although the proceedings will be held in their absence, the trial is hugely significant. Not just for me, the victim, but also for the defence of the freedom of speech of every Dutchman and citizen of the free West.
