AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - A Dutch political cartoonist was arrested this week on suspicion of insulting people because of their race or religion through his work, authorities said Friday.
The cartoonist, who works under the pseudonym Gregorius Nekschot, was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of violating hate speech laws and held overnight before being released, a spokeswoman for his publisher Uitgeverij Xtra said.
"He was arrested with a great show of force, by around 10 policemen," the spokeswoman said.

Resisting the Islamic invasion is a crime. Even with cartoons.
Notre Dame Cathedral will be a mosque in our lifetimes.
It’s a pity I lack the talent to draw ... I’d do so and encourage them to come arrest me.
I’m beginning to understand why they make guns.
This time in Europe the Nazis are the left wing multiculturalists
Apparently, only Muslims have true freedom of speech in the Netherlands.
Good grief. It must have been like Reno "capturing" Elian Gonzalez. When the left attacks...
Sounds like a super-strength erectile dysfunction medicine.
At first, I thought this was from “The Onion” or “Scrappleface.”
Friggin’ unbelieveable.
Why don’t all the Dutch just convert to Islam and be done with it. Sheesh.
If I knew how to draw, I’d consider moving to Amsterdam just to piss off some liberals and some Muslims.

Imagine that - a political cartoonist insulting people!
Best to stay out of there and spend your money someplace else, maybe Poland, Slovenia, even Khazakstan.
Silly goose probably thought Holland was a free country.
I too had to check the source to make sure it was real and not satire.
This is the most disturbing and frightening thing I have read in a long time.
Hollandistan used to be extremely tolerant until the mudslimes reached critical mass.
Anyone desiring to join me in this particular "Crusade" (call it the Artist's Crusade) should send me a PM, and I'll give you the details of where to get started in flooding the net with decent quality art depicting the human, and animal forms that the repressed Mad mullahs, and assorted verimn of the Islamic stripe would go apoplectic over. It's not only time to stand with those who are being repressed for daring to freely express themselves, but high time to do a little expressing of our own, and broaden our personal lives and experiences on the way!!
What say you, fellow Freepers?
the infowarrior
++ bismillah= Allah forbid!!
And why exactly isn’t the US protesting this? Where is the Bush administration issuing denunciations and demanding an explanation from the Dutch - whose nation we liberated from Nazi control and whose defense bill we have been paying for the last six decades? What happened to our insistence on human rights?
Don Rickles better stay out of The Netherlands!
The US has spoken out “unofficially” on such matters in the past. Bill Clinton supported the prosecution of the cartoonists when they outraged the Islamic radicals.
