Why do some of the people still hate Spaniards?

The context you provide with this question is biased and very ill-informed. Basically, the reasons why the Dutch prosecution requests acquittal in this particular case are the stipulations of Dutch criminal law which state that discrimination can only be proven against people, not religions (any religion for that matter) or religious writings, the Holy Qu'ran in this case (but which might just as well have been a christian bible). Moreover, statements made by politician Geert Wilders are done within the confines of the general public debate and as such, he is within his rights to make a distinction between groups of people (which is not the same as discriminating against).

One might argue that a political debate about for instance the diverging needs of young people and pensioners is, in essence, not that much different. I do have my doubts about the accusers in this case because they could have known that their case was a feeble one from the very start, yet they filed a complaint anyway to get some publicity. In the end though, I think every party involved here will lose.

The notion of 'islamic terrorism' is IMHO a load of bull. My islamic, buddhist, hindu, catholic, whatever neighbours are interested in the same things as myself: leading a decent, happy and respectful life in a shared community. Not so very long ago, I was in more danger of getting blown up by IRA or CCC terrorists than the current Al Qaeda breed.

No doubt, within a few decades there will be another faction trying to bomb the community at large into submission, in yet another pathetic attempt to sell their warped ideas about world order. What is important now, is that people don't go over the top because of a single publication on highly biased website boasting topics like 'further evidence in support of the gas chamber', or 'beyond zio-nazi', and generically renouncing the Dutch judicial system as flawed because it does not support their point of view. Flawed as it may be, I believe the Dutch judicial system still deserves some respect as it refuses to construe the law in favour of popular rhetoric or threats from either side of the issue.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
