This is why the fascists are allowed to air their views.  (Anti-Islamic, Geert Wilders, Right-wing moronity, Kirklees Unity, BBC)  posted on Tuesday 5th of August 2008 at 11.38 pm

Anti-Islamics are not "Shut up", as the right-wing claim, in fact they get a fair amount of radio airtime.

Seriously, listen to this BBC Radio programme, in which Michael Buerk talks to Dutch politician Geert Wilders about his decision to make a provocative anti-Islamic film (called 'Fitna') and you may understand why democracy has to let them (the right-wing) have their view.

Update to this entry: 'Islam film Dutch MP to be charged'

"A Dutch court has ordered prosecutors to put a right-wing politician on trial for making anti-Islamic statements.

Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders made a controversial film last year equating Islam with violence and has likened the Koran to Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf."

Cheers again to Carl of Kirklees Unity for bringing the story out.
