Or maybe some extremist Jews speaking mixed with Palestinian children being shot.

Did you notice the God bless Hitler image seems to be an illustration?
Wilders is a repugnant man in many ways. He makes it very difficult to take Voltaires advice and defend to the death a persons right to express themselves even though you disagree with them. People should be free to critisise, mock, humiliate and lampoon anyones beliefs, its the disproportionate reaction to this critisism that causes me concern. I read Indonesian Muslims have already stormed the Dutch Embassy in Jakarta. Lets hope the attitude of moderate muslims like Mohammed Rabbae prevails.
