The OP of this thread is why he says what he does. When political correctness inspired by religion causes the degradation of free speech, someone should speak up. Condell does that.
More people should.
To put it more bluntly, more Dutch MP's need the balls to defend the freedom of speech, because if they don't.... well, have fun living under a nanny state.

Anyone who believes that the Holocaust never happened is an idiot, but they still should have the right to speak their mind.
funny, and all of the peace at any price apologists on this forum have nothing to say about Islam's "free speech" against everything non-Islamic.
