A court has refused to ban an internet-based film criticising the Koran.
A group representing Dutch Muslims had sought an injunction banning right-wing politician Geert Wilders' film "Fitna," which links terror attacks by Muslim extremists with texts from the Koran.
In a written judgment a civil judge at The Hague District Court said Mr Wilders' right to free speech allows him to criticise radical Islam and passages from the Muslim holy book.
Mr Wilders put the film on the internet the day before lawyers representing the Netherlands Islamic Federation argued it should be outlawed because it was insulting to Muslims.

I heard that there are some underground kind of folks throughout Europe that are mounting a resistance to the Islamic takeover, in spite of the leftist dhimmitude seekers.

it should be outlawed because it was insulting to Muslims.Well Hells Bells! I'm insulted whenever I hear that garbage about all infidels should be killed.
Can we ban the Koran because it insults anyone who isn't a muslim?

You mean they aren’t rioting already? I’m surprised at the muzzie’s restraint. I thought at least 5 people would have their heads sawed off by now.

The fact they have to go underground to fight Islam tells you how far Europe has sunk.

Good for the Dutch Court..
I'm pretty sure our Courts wouldn't have the balls to do what the Dutch did.
Come to think of it, we don't even have the balls to make a film like that..
