Geert Wilders: Fitna Producer Charged with Blasphemy, Contempt For Muslims
Geert Wilders celebration was short-lived.
The Dutch politican’s relief on Monday caused charges to be filed against him in another country on Tuesday.
Wilders, the Dutch politician/film producer, was charged by a Jordanian prosecutor with blasphemy and contempt of Muslims. The prosecutor cited Wilders’ film “Fitna” as an anti-Koran film and ordered him to stand trial in Jordan, according to Reuters.
Yesterday, Dutch prosecutors stated that they decided that they wouldn’t press charges against Wilders because his views in “Fitna” were protected by his right to free speech.
An order was issued to bring Wilders to trial through the Dutch Embassy in Amman, Reuters reported.
Wilders’ film “Fitna,” which appeared on the Internet on March 27, linked terror attacks by Muslim extremists to texts from the Koran, Islam’s holy book.
The Organization of the Islamic Conference, a league of 56 Muslim nations, said it was “deeply annoyed” by the Dutch decision, Reuters reported.
“The decision … encourages and supports the irresponsible defamatory style followed by some media outlets and instigates feelings of hatred, animosity and antipathy towards Muslims,” the Saudi Arabia-based organization said in a statement, according to Reuters.

Wilders’ film sparked protests in Malaysia, Indonesia and Pakistan, and several over countries. Several Muslim organizations called for countries to boycott Dutch goods after “Fitna” was released.
The Dutch government has said it disagrees with the tone of the film, but says Wilders has a constitutional right to air his views. The U.N. secretary-general and U.N. agencies have condemned the film. EU foreign ministers have also rejected Wilders’ views.
Reuters reported the charges could land Wilders in jail for up to three years.
An order was issued through the Dutch embassy in Amman to bring Wilders to stand trial. The charges carry a maximum sentence of three years in prison, lawyers said.
Wilders, whose right-wing, anti-immigration Freedom Party has nine of the 150 seats in the Dutch parliament, welcomed the Dutch prosecutors’ ruling and said he had been careful to limit his criticism to the religion of Islam and not Muslims.
Nothing contributes to a proper seething by Muslim countries like the exercise of free speech. Operators are standing by 24/7 to take your call.
While European freedoms have been pummeled by spineless political elites, PC and multicultural pimps–and an ever-vigilant victim class–occasionally free speech wins a round. Such a victory was delivered by Dutch prosecutor yesterday.
Of course, Jordan has no such history of freedom or concept of “free speech”.
The charge in Jordan is another battle for Geert Wilders. If Europe is to survive in any recognizable form, there will have to be many such victories.
Concerned Americans will pray for those victories, while thankful that the USA is not in such dire straits.

Consider:
The missing element in every human ‘solution’
is an accurate definition of the creature.
The way we define ‘human’ determines our view of self,
others, relationships, institutions, life, and future. Many
problems in human experience are the result of false
and inaccurate definitions of humankind premised
in man-made religions and humanistic philosophies.
Human knowledge is a fraction of the whole universe.
The balance is a vast void of human ignorance. Human
reason cannot fully function in such a void; thus, the
intellect can rise no higher than the criteria by which it
perceives and measures values.
Humanism makes man his own standard of measure.
However, as with all measuring systems, a standard
must be greater than the value measured. Based on
preponderant ignorance and an egocentric carnal
nature, humanism demotes reason to the simpleton
task of excuse-making in behalf of the rule of appe-
tites, desires, feelings, emotions, and glands.
Because man, hobbled in an ego-centric predicament,
cannot invent criteria greater than himself, the humanist
lacks a predictive capability. Without instinct or trans-
cendent criteria, humanism cannot evaluate options with
foresight and vision for progression and survival. Lack-
ing foresight, man is blind to potential consequence and
is unwittingly committed to mediocrity, collectivism,
averages, and regression – and worse. Humanism is an
unworthy worship.
The void of human ignorance can easily be filled with
a functional faith while not-so-patiently awaiting the
foot-dragging growth of human knowledge and behav-
ior. Faith, initiated by the Creator and revealed and
validated in His Word, the Bible, brings a transcend-
ent standard to man the choice-maker. Other philo-
sophies and religions are man-made, humanism, and
thereby lack what only the Bible has:
1.Transcendent Criteria and
2.Fulfilled Prophetic Validation.
The vision of faith in God and His Word is survival
equipment for today and the future. Only the Creator,
who made us in His own image, is qualified to define
us accurately.
Human is earth’s Choicemaker. Psalm 25:12 He is by
nature and nature’s God a creature of Choice – and of
Criteria. Psalm 119:30,173 His unique and definitive
characteristic is, and of Right ought to be, the natural
foundation of his environments, institutions, and re-
spectful relations to his fellow-man. Thus, he is orien-
ted to a Freedom whose roots are in the Order of the
universe. selah
Humanistic religions ought to accept the responsibility
for their own choice of a religion. If it is collectivist so be it.
If it is based on the Individual, as is Christianity,so be it.
Quit blaming others if you disagree. Try living it yourself
before you attack others for not. selah

BREAKING NEWS!
Geert Wilders (Titna video) to be charged by a DUTCH court for upsetting Muslims!
This is his own country! The land where bits of Theo Van Gogh were scraped off the floor when he was killed – stabbed AND shot – by an Islamicist jihadist. The land, like most European countries, where rioting fundamentalist animals accuse the rest of us of criminality!
And yet here they have more or less decided that Wilders is an offender.
HELP! I’m a European – get me outta here.
Until I do leave (Britain) I am determined to fight these dhimmi fools to the end.
I have the full story here.
