#1 UK readers turn their minds off: "Islamophobia", they declare, and then move on to the next story. Nothing to see here.

#2 Will TimesOnline be prosecuted for publishing this 'hate' piece? It seems pretty consistent with the banned Wilders 'hate film'.

#3 An important characteristic of "hate speech" is that it is not about "speech", but about a "hated individual" who is speaking about a subject that he is not permitted to speak about.

The most obvious example is that black people are allowed to use racist language, even when it menaces or threatens, because they are authorized to use that speech.

But white males are not authorized to use that speech at all, so the content of what they say, even if it is fully truthful and used in a non-aggressive context, is "hate speech".

Geert Wilders is an "enemy of Islam", forbidden to speak about Islam at all. So the content or context of what he has to say, even if objectively accurate, is "hate speech".

It does not matter what he says. He is not permitted to speak.

"Freedom of expression doesn't mean the right to offend."
-- Maxime Verhagen, Dutch Foreign Minister
