Ted Poe: “Free speech is under assault from Islamic terrorists worldwide. They use threats and political correctness to silence…”

“Free speech is under assault from Islamic terrorists worldwide. They use threats and political correctness to silence anybody who speaks out about their violent beliefs. Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders made a movie about these Islamic clerics who incite violence in the name of religion. But the Dutch Government is putting Wilders on trial for incitement to hatred. The oppressive Dutch Government says it's irrelevant that the speech in the movie may be true. You see, there is no freedom of speech in the Netherlands if a person is critical of radical Islam. Freedom of speech is a basic human right. Political speech and religious speech are the most controversial types of all speech. That is why these types of speech should be protected the most. Benjamin Franklin said, 'There can be no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech.' Geert Wilders is a champion of the public liberty and the free speech that guarantees that liberty. And that's just the way it is.”
