A Victory For Freedom
In the Netherlands, they've had a blasphemy law on the books since the 1930's. Muslim immigrants started using those laws to censor speech and writings critical of Islam's political, totalitarian, and suppressive teachings.
So the Dutch government repealed the blasphemy laws on November 1st, 2008. Religious criticism is a legitimate activity in a free country.
You can read more about this important victory here: Blasphemy Law Dropped in Netherlands. Here are a few excerpts from the article:
Blasphemy will no longer be a crime in the Netherlands, the Dutch government announced last week. On Nov 1 Justice Minister Ernst Hirsch Ballin said the country’s coalition government would repeal a 1930s blasphemy law in favor of strengthening the current anti-discrimination legislation.
Religion not be given a privileged place above free speech.
The push to reform the blasphemy laws comes in response to heightened tensions with the Netherland’s Muslim minority. Criticism of Islamists and Islam by comedians, cartoonists, filmmakers and politicians has led to threats of prosecution for offending Muslim sensibilities.

Dutch End Muslim Immigration (slyly)
The Dutch have effectively put an end to Muslim immigration, well, at least the backward, pious Muslim immigrant. I have to admire the Dutch. They have done this so cleverly. First, anyone who wants to immigrate must pass a Dutch exam in their country....
