"Dutch politician Geert Wilders says he's flying to Great Britain despite a government order banning him from entering the country, and he's daring the "weak and cowardly" British government to arrest him when he gets there."
I was initially going to blog about the entertainment aspect of the stand off between the Dutch politician & the British Government. If the British Government didn't ban this guy, then it's news worthiness would be greatly reduced. So I figured these things happen as much for the entertainment value as for anything else.
But then I looked into why this guy was banned. See his movie linked to below:
Fitna Part 2 (requires Youtube account for age verification)
Leaves a bad taste in your mouth to say the least. I can understand why the British government is anxious - but the Dutch MP has a right to express his views freely. It is a cornerstone of our society & should be as important to us as the Koran is to Muslims.
But in saying that all Fitna does is incite anti-Islam feelings. It's not the religion we should condemn but the people interpreting it. The old testament of the Bible used to be interpreted more strictly than it is today.
