When it comes to the right to speak one’s mind about Islam, the record of the last few years makes it clear which direction the West is moving in.

And in the Netherlands, Geert Wilders, the head of the Freedom Party, which performed so well in the June 9 general elections that Wilders may end up in the governing coalition, still faces trial for having made a film about the Koranic foundations of terrorism.
