Thats not a reason for Netherlands to ban freedom of speech whenever they see fit, freedom of speech is to allow opposing views. It is there exactly to safeguard speeches of people like Erdogan.There is no ifs and buts, else you can't claim to be a democracy with freedom of speech. If those Euro states can't stand what certain people have to say then they don't have freedom of speech, period.

Also LOL at that last line, it's not in Western European culture to be hospitable, they have a cold mentality, in the Middle East we welcome friends, no matter how unexpected they may come.

Freedom of speech is for the Dutch, not for foreign visitors that demands it. It CAN be granted, but by the Dutch to willingly do it and not be coerced by external forces. 

Freedom of speech grants nations and people the right to say NO as well. It's freedom of speech, not republic of banana. 

Nice deflection there on the last sentence. Dutch authorities deemed that their soil is not a place for foreigners' political campaign but Turkey (you) want to force your will anyway because... c'mon man.

Why only for the Dutch? Is there a specific law that says foreigners cant say whatever they want? Does that law also exist in Germany or Austria or Sweden?

Freedom of speech is something you uphold all the time, not when it suits you. And lets be honest, it has to suit Europe else they just ban it for whatever reason. Europe was never really challenged by someone who is radically different than their own. It's why there's groupthink in Europe against anything that's not their own. They have an irrational fear of Turks, their hatred stems from 1000 years of fighting.

Turkey was one of the first countries to apply to the EU 50 years ago but they rejected the country. They rejected them because they're Muslim. Not because of democratic or economic reasons, there's already a dictator in Europe with Orban and other nations where human rights are not respected (Poland), much poorer nations like Bulgaria or Romania entered before Turkey.
