CXC3000 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Thats good news for democracy and free speech. Not for this guy though : http://voices.washingtonpost.com/reliable-source/2011/03/update_john_galliano_apologize.html ------- Wilders was in the same boat as him; why has he been let off and Galliano hasn't ?

mj.scuba Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 A vile Islamophobe. Hope he's found guilty second time around. It already was the second time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mj.scuba Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Thats good news for democracy and free speech. I agree, excellent news for the Dutch. It means they can criticise religion without fear of being prosecuted just because the followers of a religion are offended by the critique.

Magilla Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Wilders was in the same boat as him; why has he been let off and Galliano hasn't ? Wilders wasn't in the same boat and did not commit the same offence. There is a massive gulf between the two cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CXC3000 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Wilders wasn't in the same boat and did not commit the same offence. There is a massive gulf between the two cases. One was drunk when he said what he did; the other was sobre and knew exactly what he was saying. Oh, and the latter's a well-known, vile Islamophobe too (did I mention that ?).

Nagel Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 A vile Islamophobe. What exactly does that phrase mean? Surely it is legitimate to dislike a religion and express your views, so long as you don't suggest persecuting people for their beliefs. Isn't it?
