The Geert Wilders Trial, Day 3
| Blogger Sappho has all the details, in English (scroll down past the photo). |
I turned around to look at the journalist of the high brow Trouw (Loyalty), a newspaper which had originated in the Second World War as Dutch Resistances pamphlet. All week I had sat next to him and today he confided to me what most of his colleagues had said earlier: Wilders is an obnoxious fellow, but he got his facts and figures right. His perspective is highly defendable. Ive now seen Fitna for the first time in one go, its extrapolation can be criticized, but its not bad at all. Its like those legal experts claimed: there are no grounds for a conviction. People feel insulted, but thats no justification to shut him up.
