The cartoons were made for an exhibition of Muhammad cartoons in Garland, Texas, which, last May, was attacked by two terrorists. After the attack, PVV leader Geert Wilders, who gave the keynote speech at the Garland exhibition, proposed to exhibit the cartoons all over the free world.
The cartoons were shown during the broadcasting time allotted to the Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV). The program will be repeated on June 24th and July 3rd.
Geert Wilders: “The only way to show terrorists that they are not going to win is to do exactly what they do not want us to do. I do not broadcast the cartoons to provoke; I do it because we have to show that we stand for freedom of speech and that we will never surrender to violence. Freedom is our birthright. Freedom of speech must always prevail over violence and terror.”
