Acquittal for Geert Wilders on One Count

Pro-Israel Dutch politician Geert Wilders has been acquitted of a charge of insulting Muslims and immigrants as a group, because his comparing the Koran to Mein Kampf did not insult any individual. For the same reason, the Dutch court in Wilders' trial for defaming Islam has ruled that none of the individual plaintiffs may recover monetary damages. A charge of 'incitement to hatred and discrimination' remains to be determined.
