Coming Soon To A Courtroom Near You
Gates of Vienna links to this interview with Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff on her upcoming trial in Vienna on “hate speech” charges.
Key introductory grafs:
JG: You are the second Austrian who has been charged with hate speech for criticism of the Qur’an and Islam. Minister of Parliament Dr. Susanne Winter was convicted by a Graz court in January 2009 of hate speech against Islam, received a suspended sentence of three months and was fined the equivalent of $30,000 in Euros. Dutch M.P. Geert Wilders’ trial on similar charges in the Netherlands has been halted because of witness tampering by one of the judges in the Amsterdam tribunal. Now you, an Austrian housewife and leader of the Act for America Chapter in Austria, are the subject of an unprecedented legal action. My question for you is why is your hate speech trial different from that of M.P. Winter and extremely dangerous?
ESW: My trial is different from the simple point of view that I am a housewife and I am not a member of parliament or a politician. That’s basically all there is to it. I’m a private citizen who is concerned about Islam and the contents of the Qur’an, the Sunnah and Hadith. That is the main difference between Geert Wilders, Susanne Winter and me.
Read the whole thing.
And think about the place where America used to be, ten years hence....

I guess today showing photos and films of Holocaust executions and graves is "hate speech" against any German National Socialists who are still around. And "Behead those who insult Islam" and "Europe is a cancer. Islam is the answer" is just the protected free speech of a minority defending its rights.
Will Austria resist fascism THIS time?
Will we?
I think seeing as how members of the Democrat Socialist Party of the U.S.A. can get elected and re-elected to the highest offices in the land, it's gonna be a challenge.
A South African woman married to a Muslim is lucky to have only been divorced after giving her husband a sandwich with artificially-ham-flavored cheese -- the package was incorrectly labeled -- thereby violating his civil and religious rights.
