Answer 1

Sure. Anyone should be free to compare anything to anything.



Does that mean he's right? I dunno.



Sometimes free speech can be annoying, but we can speak up and say so too

Answer 2

We had the same in the UK. Some enterprising campaigners asked for a certain hate-filled and bloodthirsty book to be banned in the UK, and a group of Parliamentarians (MPs) agreed and sought to get it banned. When they found out it was the Koran, there were red faces all round and they backtracked furiously.



Wilders is right. The Koran is the most hate-filled book ever written, and were in not for its status as a holy book it would have been banned long ago.

Answer 3

why shouldn't he be acquitted, the pope gets called a nazi and no one complains, he was comparing the rise of islam in europe and showing the demographics of how it will look in 50 years time.

the u.s.a will be 30% islamic in 100 years

Answer 4

it is no doubt a good thing, freedom of speach trumps all and should not stop when it offends someone, so i say fu(k you all, because it is my right, and when i say you all the Muslims ARE included

Answer 5

He gains many profit from campaigning Islam hatreds

that's why a politcian in UK try also to imitate him
