Geert Wilders, the head of the Netherlands’ far-right, anti-immigration Party for Freedom and a legitimate contender for prime minister, has been convicted of inciting discrimination for remarks he made at a campaign rally in 2014, when he said the country would be safer with fewer Moroccans. From the New York Times:

Mr. Wilders was found not guilty of hate-speech charges in connection with comments he made about Moroccans in a nationally broadcast TV program filmed at a public market a week earlier, but he was found to have violated laws on inciting discrimination when he led a crowd at a political rally in chanting “fewer, fewer” to the question, “Do you want more or fewer Moroccans in this city and the Netherlands?”

.......................................

Trump’s campaign and victory have been invigorating for Wilders, who has adopted the slogan “Make the Netherlands Great Again.” “We are witnessing the same uprising on both sides of the Atlantic,” he wrote in a Breitbart op-ed the day following Trump’s election. “The Patriotic Spring is sweeping the Western world. People are standing up and liberating themselves.”

1. Unfortunately this verdict will only strengthen him and empower his supporters

What has happened in the US is about to happen here also. The far right is gaining strength.

2. The Europians should also ban American hate groups from their country and regulate incoming media.

put them on their no fly lists, no visa lists and regulate any incoming media like they're a threat to their country. Because they are a threat.
