Freedom of Expression and Religious Hate Speech in Europe

Recent events in Europe have raised questions about the limits to freedom of expression and whether this freedom can and should be restricted to protect the religious feelings of believers. This book examines the relationship between freedom of expression, freedom of religion and religious hate speech using and critiquing the case law of the European Court of Human Rights to develop an answer to the central question. The book sets out a case study of Geert Wilders, a Dutch politician in order to illustrate where the line should be drawn between freedom of expression and religious hate speech.
