Insult Islam, get sent to prison?

A member of parliament in the Netherlands who has been charged with "insulting" Muslims says he fears he will be found guilty and sent to prison in only a few months.

An appeals court on Wednesday overturned a previous decision by prosecutors not to charge Geert Wilders, and ordered that he stand trial.

Wilders, who produced a controversial film that was highly critical of the Koran last year, says he faces a maximum of two years in prison if convicted. He said he had expected to be charged, and he has retained legal assistance from a U.S.-based nonprofit to help him defend himself.

Can this happen here? Do you think it will? I have to ask, how did it come to this in a place like the Netherlands? How about Austrailia where a preacher was charged with crimes for speaking against Islam? How did Islam get so strong in a nation that was never Islamic to begin with? What other nations started out "non-islamic" but ended up that way? Lebanon used to be a Christian nation..
