    Default go to prison for insulting someone?

    To all our brothers of the blade in the Netherlands, can you really go to prison if you insult someone, or some ideology?? Do you have some provision in your governing documents guaranteeing the freedom of speech? I am really curious about this issue, and the implications it would have on the people there.

    Edit: Before I have someone posting that his speech was so bad that it incited hatered (which is in the article, I know), i want to know how you define this. Where is the line drawn? Here in the USA, you will have KKK nutjobs marching on Martin Luther King Day, and promoting their propaganda in that day, clearly with the intent to incite hatrered, however hatred is not a crime. I can hate someone all i want, and I won't go to prison. They are free to make this hate speach all they want, because it is their protected right to freedom of speech. However, how do you know when speech is so bad that it is criminal?
