Dutch anti-Islam Lawmaker Cancels Contest.

. .
Dutch anti-Islam lawmaker Geert Wilders says he has canceled a planned Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest following death threats and concerns other people could be put at risk.

In a written statement issued Thursday night, Wilders said “to avoid the risk of victims of Islamic violence, I have decided not to let the cartoon contest go ahead.”

Wilders, who has for years lived under round-the-clock protection because of death threats sparked by his fierce anti-Islam rhetoric, said he does not want others endangered by the contest he planned for November.

The contest was to have been held at the tightly guarded offices of his Party for Freedom in the Dutch parliament building.

It was the subject of protests in Pakistan on Wednesday.

Hey how about you guys volunteer and ask him to hold the contest on mocking the holocaust instead... Great service in the cause of freedom of expression.... :)

Good news. Pressure talks.
The politician demonstrated that the threat of Islamic violence is real and present, not a "phobia" marked by unreason or clouded thinking. He can use responses like yours to mobilize the voter base to suit his agenda.

This should now be taken to its logical conclusion. EU should be asked to enact laws similar to those in place for holocaust, to protect the honour of Islam and Prophet (PBUH). Infact all prophets of Allah including Jesus, Moses etc, their honour should be protected.

I am not saying that the Dutch are afraid; they are probably coming to terms with the fact that this is a 'sensitive' issue with the potential to spark reactions and responses (pressures).

Right what an amazing demonstration...so u r telling me if I provoke a law abiding peaceful citizen and he fights back...that is proof that he is violent?

Completely idiotic reasoning...by that reasoning each and every human is capable of such violence...
How about a simple live and let live policy...we don't provoke u and u don't provoke us...everyone minding their own business.
