Answer 1

I think that it is ridiculous and misguided.

Once a culture gives in to the principle of censorship, even as a promotional stunt, the new standard becomes, "We support free expression.....uh most of the time".

That should simply be unacceptable. Does 'Wilders' intend to demonstrate that oppressive philosophies are wrong by oppressing people?

Answer 2

While I am a staunch free speech advocate, and think nothing should be banned, I do sort of like this idea. It's about time the West stood up to Islamofacism.

Answer 3

the koran is not the problem nor is the bible or the torah the way these writings are interpreted and twisted to mean whatever the person quoting the idea is the real problem that and the mindless sheep that believe the crap they spew

Answer 4

wilders is an idiot, he got into parliament on the ignorance vote. This is not even gonig to be taken seriously by the cutch parliament. its just one man shouting something.

*sigh*

Answer 5

And while they're at it, they can ban the bible and torah....
