Arrest for discrimination at anti-racism rally
Tuesday 25 March 2008
A man was arrested for discrimination on Saturday during the anti-racism rally in the centre of Amsterdam.
The man had produced a pamphlet of statements by anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders with the words 'Judaism' and 'Jew' substituted for 'Islam' and 'Muslim'.
The man was given a verbal warning but could still be prosecuted by the public prosecution department, news agency ANP said.
Last Monday entertainment entrepreneur Harry de Winter took out a front page advertisement in the Volkskrant saying if Wilders said the same about Jews as he does about Muslims he would have been sentenced for anti-semitism.

Friday: Cold and sunny everywhere. Heavy frost at night. Similar Saturday but thaw possible Sunday
If the OM goes after him, would they have to prosecute Wilders and his mates as well?
