Geert Wilders, producer of the short film Fitna, about Islam, has been indicted by a Dutch court for hate speech against Islam, because of the content of his film.

Interestingly one of the reasons for the indictment was a statement by the appeals court judges about Wilders: “The court also considers appropriate criminal prosecution for insulting Muslim worshippers because of comparisons between Islam and Nazism made by Wilders.”

It seems they are overlooking the fact that the Mufti of Jerusalem travelled to meet Hitler and worked with him during World War 2!
