A group of Muslims want the court to prohibit the making of Submission 2, the sequel to the film that offended Van Gogh murderer Mohammed Bouyeri. They also want the judge to issue a gag order, so she won't ever be able to say something nasty about Islam again.
I guess it's a good thing they're going to court rather than resort to violence, like Bouyeri did.
Funny thing is, these Muslims are going to use the law articles prohibiting religous insults that the Dutch PvdA Labour Party only recently wanted to preserve for the moment, because 'this wasn't the right time to debate it'.
Anybody want to help me buy that clock for PvdA leader Wouter Bos?
I would, if I only believed that it could make a difference.
