//Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer. I can not find a source on Marine Le Pen actually being convicted, but Wilders was not. He was charged, however this only happened after enough citizens pressed charges: initially the public prosecutor declined to do so until they were forced to do so (Dutch law allows victims to fight the prosecutions decision to not press charges). It came to a long trial (he was charged for inciting hate/violence) and the court ruled that he was not guilty, but said it was on the edge of legality. Basically, it is (legally) okay to say that the Quran incites hate in people, or that middle-eastern immigrants hold backwards customs which clash with Dutch tradition. That is considered part of public discourse. But you are not allowed to then say "And therefore we need to remove them all, by force if necessary" as now you are inciting violence. Furthermore, Wilders was at the time (unfortunately imho) not the leader of a "minority party" see for example this: http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabinet-Rutte_I#mediaviewer/File:ZetelsRutte-metPVV.svg http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabinet-Rutte_I#mediaviewer/Fil... It shows the distribution of seats in the Dutch Parliment. PVV is Wilders' party, 'rest' is the remaining parties.
