Abstract
This chapter discusses Dutch intolerance of immigrants in relation to the proper limits of free speech: should discriminatory speech be banned? The focus is on the trials involving the Dutch populist politician, Geert Wilders, who is an expert in Islam-bashing. Wilders presents his verbal violence as a matter of self-defence against Islam’s jihad, a holy war in pursuit of world dominion. Muslim immigrants would be trying to transform the Netherlands into ‘Netherarabia’. Wilders’ political program builds on Huntington’s The Clash of Civilizations, a prophecy of a cultural clash between the Western and the Muslim worlds.
