[Platt]
Dutch politician Geert Wilders is being tried for "hate speech." He 
is charged with inciting hatred against Muslims. If convicted he 
faces up to one year in prison.

[Platt on July 9, 2007]
I'm not a free speech scholar but I think there's a restriction on 
speech that incites violence. Flag-burning may come under such a caveat.

[Arlo]
Can you explain the distinction you make between "inciting hatred" 
and "inciting violence"?

Do you make any distinction between protests that burn an American 
flag, and those that burn a Koran?
