…it isn’t that “subtle”…it is only power and who has it.

I believe Israel has been “more than tolerant.”

If these “folks” are still trying to “remove Israel” from the map…

Then, only THEY should have to “pay the price…”

In fact, Mr. Wilders called for the Koran to be banned – so Wilders himself cannot be characterized as a consistent free speech enthusiast. Nevertheless, if speech is only allowed on the basis of universal approval (that no one will be “offended” by the speech) – it is a travesty. I have not read whether he is entitled to a jury trial (or do a bunch of judges just make a pronouncement?) because 47% of Dutch public opinion is on his side which would make a unanimous jury verdict very difficult to get. American Universities, of course, also have their speech codes and Obama comes from an environment which endorses intolerance in the name of tolerance.
