Last week, the Dutch Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Dutch politician Geert Wilders for insulting an ethnic group, in this case, Moroccans. The below video is Wilders reacting to the decision.
Wilders' offense was asking a crowd of supporters a few years back whether they wanted "more or less Moroccans in the Netherlands", to which they answered, "Less". On the surface, it seems an outrageous thing to say, though certainly not criminal. But you have to understand that while certainly, not all Moroccans in the country are criminals, the Moroccan community in the Netherlands is infested with violent drug gangs, referred to as the Mocro-Maffia. One of the leaders, Radouan Taghi, is currently on trial with several others for having organized contract murders. In addition, they are the principal suspects behind the recent shooting of journalist Peter R. de Vries in Amsterdam. Given the situation, it is perfectly understandable why many Dutch wish there were fewer Moroccans in their country.
