The Wall Street Journal:
The latest twist in the clash between Western values and the Muslim world took place yesterday in the Netherlands, where a court ordered the prosecution of lawmaker and provocateur Geert Wilders for inciting violence. The Dutch MP and leader of the Freedom Party, which opposes Muslim immigration into Holland, will stand trial soon for his harsh criticism of Islam . . .
He has compared the Koran to Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” and urged Muslims to tear out “hate-filled” verses from their scripture. This is a frontal assault on Islam — but, as Mr. Wilders points out, he’s targeting the religion, not its followers.
