Brussels Journal under attack

I don't read the Brussels Journal although I often see articles on different blogs quoting from it. However, I do support them in their continued rejection of the Belgian government's attempts to harass them and force them offline.

The Belgian government, in the true style of the European Union Federation has a website where anyone can anonymously accuse a website owner of hate crimes which are then investigated by the Belgian police. The Brussels Journal has been anonymously accused of racism and the police have requested the presence of the owner of the Brussels Journal for interrogation - a request he has refused on the basis that he denies any accusation of racism and journalists do not have to justify what they write under the Belgian constitution.

As I said, I don't read the Brussels Journal so I can't comment on whether the site has racist material posted on it but a quick 5 minute browse of the site turned up nothing that could be considered racist by even the most committed lefty liberal.

There have been a few attempts to censor bloggers in the past and they have all failed - if the Brussels Journal is forced offline then its content will be reproduced many, many times all over the blogosphere.
