In my mind, freedom of speech/press must trump freedom of religion. If my saying or publishing something controversial contravenes the tenets of any religion or organization, those tenets must give way to my freedom to express those views.
In my mind, that is what Geert Wilders is fighting about. Here are some excerpts from his opening remarks, defending himself for allegedly having engaged in hate crimes.
This trial is not about me. It is about something much greater. Freedom of speech is not the property of those who happen to belong to the elites of a country. It is an inalienable right, the birthright of our people. For centuries battles have been fought for it, and now it is being sacrificed to please a totalitarian ideology.
Future generations will look back at this trial and wonder who was right. Who defended freedom and who wanted to get rid of it.
The lights are going out all over Europe. Our freedom is being restricted everywhere, so I repeat what I said here last year:
It is not only the privilege, but also the duty of free people — and hence also my duty as a member of the Dutch Parliament — to speak out against any ideology that threatens freedom. ... I hope that freedom of speech will emerge triumphant from this trial. I hope not only that I shall be acquitted, but especially that freedom of speech will continue to exist in the Netherlands and in Europe.
Notice that by careful editing, I have removed any reference in these remarks to the nature of his alleged hate crime. I've done so because it doesn't matter whether he offended Jews, Catholics, Muslims, sociologists, or even graduates of York University. He's right.
