I am a bit surprised that the Dutch have laws that forbid speaking openly a point of view.
Prosecutors say Wilders incited hatred against Muslims with remarks comparing Islam to Naziism and by calling for a ban on the Quran. Wilders argues he has a right to freedom of speech and his remarks were within the bounds of the law.
If convicted, he faces up to a year in prison.

Do other European countries have these kinds of freedom stifling laws?
