Inciting hatred of any sort is not good but until that hatred turns into an act it should not be illegal likewise, any inciting of aggression should be put down quickly. All in all I agree wih your EDIT.

Wilders, OMG!
Don't fall for him like fox news did.
He's just provoking. A populist!

It's a sad fact of life even here in the U.S. The regulation of free speech is the one way to guarantee its loss. Free speech is just that, free speech. Once you say that someone is protected from someone saying anything against them you just lost the right of free speech. Like the NY Rangers saying that the Caps fans were using the worst language they've ever heard. Worse than Sean Avery's??
