"I think it's completely wrong that someone who promotes racism and intolerance should be given a platform at this university," said Temple student Josh Rosenthal. "It's hate speech disguised as free speech."

"It's hate speech disguised as free speech"
Well said.
Alas, only the dutch do not see that as the rest of the world.

Muslim politicians here in Netherlands and other parts of Europe need to make speeches too, start countering Islamophobics propaganda with a taste of their own medicine by contacting American and Canadian Muslim Politicians that can and will take a stand against Islamophobics and call them word for word out!

"Is there free speech in netherland?" if so why some speech should prosecuted whilst others are not.

Free Speech and "tolerance" hasn't existed in the Netherlands for some years now. The terms are now only used to justify spreading extremist hate and fear such as the likes of the PVV promote. The country is now so far down the road of separating it's citizens by birth-country, nationality, colour of skin, religion.. as a Brit who has lived here 20 years, I now find living in the Netherlands increasingly scary.

I saw on the BBC the anti-Wilders protestors chanting that Islam will take over the world, like it or not.

They are probably right, as Caucasian genes die out as muslims take over cities and multiply fast. Immigrants are mostly Islamic.
Wilders is probably right too that as Islam takes over, freedom will be restricted, like the Taliban do in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

If he is telling the truth, should that be stopped?

The question is whether this crushing takeover can be stopped, and the answer is probably No.

It seems those who hold free speech as a right worth protecting have far more respect than those who do not. How is it we have to listen to left leaning PC dribble all day from the media and are forced to hear how muslims blame everyone else for their culture's bad rap? Yet when someone who speaks the truth stands up, we boo him. Is it because the truth hurts?

Kwabena, good question. I wonder that myself.

One radical feeding of a bunch of other radicals results in two groups that should neither have a say and especially - an audience.

He has legitimate concerns - since the islamic revival and consequent revolutions the western world has been targeted. Stop hiding behind titles like 'Islamophobe' and being so naive. Who has been doing the attacks - the scouts?? Since the 1920s there has been a plan to take back any lands that were once muslim and to advance islam to new lands!!! wake up!!
