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..

  3. Every sinner must repent of their sins.
  4. That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
  5. That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
  6. The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
