IN Holland (https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8638841.stm) the Arab European League (https://www.arabeuropean.org/) wants to prove that the media is biased against Muslims by attacking the Jews in print.
It’s an ingenious plan. If you are told you can’t publish the anti-Semitic cartoon that desecrates the memory of millions of murdered Jews, you prove that the media is racist against Muslims.

If you get it published you prove that you are an anti-Semite who rubbishes the deaths of millions and turns all survivors into liars. And that all is fair and good.
The news is that the AEL has been acquitted of hate crime for the Holocaust-denying cartoon published on their website.
The Arab European League wanted to deliberately provoke (https://www.mediawatchwatch.org.uk/2009/09/03/arab-european-league-to-be-charged-over-jewtoon/) a prosecution. The leader of the AEL, one Abdoulmouthalib Bouzerda, was cheesed off that Geert Wilders was not prosecuted for the Motoons (cartoons of the Muslim Propher). Says he:

Freedom of expression is only a pretext to make life bitter for Muslims… and if [they] try to bring this hypocrisy to light, that right is denied them.
Well, it turns out that he was wrong. But, still, he got to bash the Jews. So, it wasn’t all in vain…

Information about Geert Wilders:

Geert Wilders (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɣeːrt ˈʋɪldərs] (https://www.waccobb.net/wiki/Wikipedia:IPA_for_Dutch_and_Afrikaans); born 6 September 1963) is a politician and leader of the Party for Freedom (https://www.waccobb.net/wiki/Party_for_Freedom) (PVV), the third leading political party in the Netherlands.[1] (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/#cite_note-0) Born in the city of Venlo (https://www.waccobb.net/wiki/Venlo), raised as a Roman Catholic and having left the Church at his coming of age, Wilders attributes his politics to his support for what he calls 'Judeo-Christian values'. He formed many of his political views on his travels to Israel (https://www.waccobb.net/wiki/Israel), as well as the neighbouring Arab countries. His early job at the Dutch social insurance (https://www.waccobb.net/wiki/Social_insurance) agency propelled him into politics, where he worked as a speechwriter for the conservative-liberal (https://www.waccobb.net/wiki/Conservative_liberalism) People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (https://www.waccobb.net/wiki/People%27s_Party_for_Freedom_and_Democracy) (VVD). In 1996, he moved to the city of Utrecht (https://www.waccobb.net/wiki/Utrecht_(city)), where he was elected to the city council and later to the House of Representatives of the Netherlands (https://www.waccobb.net/wiki/House_of_Representatives_of_the_Netherlands).
Citing irreconcilable differences over the party's position on the accession of Turkey to the European Union (https://www.waccobb.net/wiki/Accession_of_Turkey_to_the_European_Union), Wilders left the VVD in 2004 to form his own party, the Party for Freedom (https://www.waccobb.net/wiki/Party_for_Freedom). Since then, he has been outspoken on a number of issues such as immigration (https://www.waccobb.net/wiki/Immigration), freedom of speech (https://www.waccobb.net/wiki/Freedom_of_speech), and Islam (https://www.waccobb.net/wiki/Islam),[2] (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/#cite_note-1) not only in The Netherlands, but also on an international scale, where he became one of the proponents of anti-jihadism (https://www.waccobb.net/wiki/Facing_Jihad_Conference). In the international press he was called The Netherlands' "most inflammatory public figure".[3] (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/#cite_note-2)
Wilders has pleaded, for instance, for a hard line against what he called the "street terror" exerted by minorities in Dutch cities.[4] (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/#cite_note-3)[5] (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/#cite_note-4) His controversial 2008 film about Islam in the Netherlands (https://www.waccobb.net/wiki/Islam_in_the_Netherlands), Fitna (https://www.waccobb.net/wiki/Fitna_(film)), has received international attention (https://www.waccobb.net/wiki/International_reaction_to_Fitna). On 21 January 2009, the Amsterdam (https://www.waccobb.net/wiki/Amsterdam) Court of Appeal ordered his prosecution for what it said was "the incitement to hatred and discrimination".[6] (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/#cite_note-5) Wilders was also controversially banned from entering the United Kingdom (https://www.waccobb.net/wiki/List_of_individuals_banned_from_entering_the_United_Kingdom) between 12 February 2009 and 13 October 2009, with the Home Office viewing his presence as a "threat to one of the fundamental interests of society".[7] (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/#cite_note-homeofficeletter-6) The ban was overturned after Wilders appealed.[8] (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/#cite_note-banoverturned1-7) He visited the UK on 16 October 2009,[9] (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/#cite_note-8) and again in March 2010, to show his film.
In March 2010, it was announced that a documentary film about Geert Wilders was due to be released in the United States; Wilders himself was writing a book and producing a sequel to his film, both to be released after the parliamentary elections in the Netherlands in June 2010.[10] (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/#cite_note-9) Wilders' gains toward becoming next Dutch prime minister according to polls in March 2010[11] (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/#cite_note-10) have triggered concerns of political violence in the Netherlands or against Dutch nationals according to the country’s National Anti-terrorism Coordinator.[12] (https://www.waccobb.net/forums/#cite_note-11)
