Geert Wilders is a far Right MP in the Netherland’s States Generals (Dutch version of the English Parliament). Wilders seems to have a following among the Dutch which are tired of foreign incursion of other nationalities (particularly of the Islamic persuasion) in the Netherlands. Wilders leads the Freedom Party (PVV) which only holds 9 seats in the States Generals; however polls show that if elections were soon that number may double. It is an indication of the typically very Leftist Dutch people becoming fed up with the Mohammedan violence ever growing in their small nation.
With that little update on Wilders, here is the controversy he is stirring up in the Netherlands. Wilders has put together a short film entitled Fitna, which is a play on words from the Arabic language used to be critical of the Mohammedan holy book known as the Quran.
The film's title means 'trial' or 'tribulation' in Arabic. The word, which originally meant 'sledgehammer', refers to the struggle within the faith for the essence of Islam. (Expatica.com)
The States Generals is doing its political best to keep Fitna off of Dutch television because of the dhimmi attitude (probably a certainty) that the significant Mohammedan minority in The Netherlands will erupt into typical Religion of Peace mode and use criticism of their faith as an excuse to go on a violent rampage.
So the issue is – or maybe a better choice of words – the choice of The Netherlands Government is to either bow down in dhimmitude to the global and local demands of Mohammedans or respect the Western Heritage of Freedom of Speech even if it causes a Jihadist rampage.
Is the Netherlands and by proxy the European Union entering the dhimmi zone of appeasement minded squeamishness or will a back bone of heroism stand up to overcome the Mohammedan cultural invasion.

Check this out! November 1, 2007 is the day that a moratorium on taxation of the Internet ends. The meaning is this: if there is no extension or permanent moratorium on Internet taxation that State, Federal or both can tax Internet usage.
Guess which Political Party is blocking an extension on the moratorium of Internet taxation. O let us see, which Party is noted for raising taxes?
O yes, it is the Democratic Party.
Read what Representative Lamar Smith has to say about taxing the Internet.
After reading Smith’s assessment, what do you think about Internet taxation?
I usually write or post politics here; however I just read something that casual bloggers and Internet surfers should be interested in. Cell companies have an aim to ban free WiFi. That means if you are lucky enough to be in a location that has free hotspots via WiFi, Cell companies want to end your free access. Why? WiFi is cutting into their bottom line.
John C. Dvorak reporting for PCMAG.COM explains why the Cell companies will kill free WiFi.
As you read this article the thought that might come up is: Who owns the Internet? Is it private corporations or government? I am actually semi-ignorant on the history of the Internet; I am fairly certain the World Wide Web was a government and military instrument of communication. Then somehow Bill Gates invented the PC or at least its popular version.
That would make the Internet a public domain rather than something to be controlled by profit. It is the old question of the collective versus ownership. READ IT
