Vindication. As oft heard: the truth is the ultimate defence for slander or libel. The radical Muslims who complained about Wilder's film should take heed from this ruling. Europe, even with its odious anti-free speech laws, still is a place of relative freedom and is not willing to curb civil rights on account of some unwanted Muslim guests. As for Wilder's film, I'm not sure about his statement that Islam is 'fascist'. Islam is certainly violent, xenophobic, misoginist, homophobic, etc but I'm not sure it is 'fascist': indeed it is not 'nationalistic' but strives for an internation Islamic state. I also am not aware of the economic policy of Islam (whether it is simliar to fascism or not.)
