Dutch lawmaker filed charge

This man got charged because of inciting religious hatred in speeches and a film he made about Islam last year. The lawmaker is named Geert Wilders and is in the Dutch parliament of the right-wing party for freedom. Nine people filed him with the court appeal. They charged him because of a 15 min long film called “Fitan” he made about terrorist attacks and to say that Islam is a threat for western society. The movie made complaints in the whole of Europe, the organization of the Islamic conference as well as from the USA which warned that this could spark riots. The movie starts with a picture of Mohamed with a turban shaped like a bomb. Then it shows translated portions of the Quran and then pictures from the 9.September and in the background you hear calls from the people who where in the trade center when the plane crashed.
