I don’t want to ban any ideology. But this PC crap about how you cant criticise Islam has to stop too. Someone can believe all day long that they are superior because of their religion, race, etc, but when you cant fight back in the marketplace of ideas and with free expression as well. things are gonna get ugly. On both sides.
Geert Wilders comes from a country where you cannot speak out about Islam or else you are committing a crime. That is why he speaks like he does about this. Europe has no free speech.

Nobody here is implying that you can’t criticize Islam. There’s a big diff between criticizing, ridiculing (I’m ok with that, too) on the one hand, and outlawing, persecuting and/or banning on the other. The latter are contrary to everything this country stands for.
