My Way News - Dutch anti-Islam lawmaker faces hate speech trial
My Way News reports: "Wilders' criminal trial for allegedly inciting hate against Muslims has resonance across Europe: He is one of a dozen right-wing politicians on the continent who are testing the limits of freedom of speech while voicing voters' concerns at the growth of Islam. [...] 'I know the words I use are sometimes hard, but they are never impetuous,' he told judges Wednesday. 'I also do not intend to hurt people's feelings. I have nothing against Muslims. I have a problem with Islam and the Islamization of our country because Islam is diametrically opposed to freedom.'"
