Sean Hannity said last night that champions of free speech are refusing to back down after being accused of provoking radical Islamists to attack the Muhammad cartoon contest in Texas.
One of the speakers at that event, Dutch politician Geert Wilders, is planning to stage a Muhammad cartoon expo in the Dutch Parliament.
Hannity asked Wilders if he is anti-Islam.
"Well, I'm certainly not anti-Muslim, but indeed I believe Islam is a threat to our civilization," Wilders replied. "I believe that our country is based on values that are based on Christianity and Judaism, and that Islam is really a threat to our freedom."
Wilders explained why people are offended by a Muhammad cartoon.
"For more than 1.5 billion Muslims in the world, Muhammad is a kind of role model, he's an example," he stated. "That's why every time somebody depicts or mocks Muhammad, Muslims get angry."
In responding to a question Hannity asked about Muhammad's life, Wilders said that Muhammad was a "terrorist." Watch more in the video above.

Welcome to Free Republic!
Feel FRee to donate to the current FReepathon.
Why have the cutest cartoons of Mo not been published?
I like Wilders and I saw the interview.
Signed up today on FR eh? Welcome troll. ZOT! Just kidding. Post some more Friend ;)
good post
Good for him! And good for Hannity for staying on this.
you no maybe I think the role model of Mohammad should be arrested for his crimes. the thing that strikes me id that the Christian reaction to blasphemy is to be sadden by it. the Muslim reaction is to get angry about it and to kill anyone that has offended there sensibilities. all this does is prove to me that there religion is demonic in nature and that Christianity is not.
And yet we have to put up with this but no one threatens to kill everyone in an audiorium:
“If our reaction is that we should not make more cartoons or not accept them, the terrorists will win”
The thing to remember is that it NEVER ends with these types of people. Today it’s cartoons. Tomorrow it may be banning drugs, making life difficult for women that want to get rich in divorce use the kids as weapons, and making life difficult for gays that want to openly recruit.
...come to think of it, maybe I will visit that mosque down the street.
“... every time somebody depicts or mocks Muhammad, Muslims get angry.”....
Stuffy bastards have no sense of humor.
I avoid tenebrous movies if possible
Welcome to FR, Bob. I’m glad some politicians are not going to stop drawing that pedophile those terrorists think is a holy figure.
Just hire a few Texas cops and the show will be fine.
mohamed was a child rapist.
