If you thought/think that the arrest and upcoming prosecution of Geert Wilders, MP and producer of FITNA (the 10 movie found HERE) is outrageous, now we have Susanne Winter, an attorney in Austria getting jail time for something similar.
Off of a comment section of an article entitled "Israeli Leaders Criticize 'Delusional' Spanish Court" found HERE, a frequent commenter wrote: "To: the European Court of Justice
As of 22.01.2009, Susanne Winter, a lawyer and politician for the right-wing Freedom Party of Austria received a 3-month conditional sentence, with the additional fine of 24.000 EUR, for "incitement and degradation of religious doctrines" as she stated that the Islamic Prophet Mohammed would today be considered a paedophile for raping a 9-year old.
Regardless of my view on Winter's claim, it is a grave violation of human rights for freedom of expression to ban constructive religious criticism.
I hereby demand an appeal against the presiding court in Graz to demonstrate that the freedom of speech has still value in the 21st century.
Linda Rivera , NYC (29/01/09)"
Are we blind with our heads in the sand, or is something happening here?
