In Belgium she wouldn't I think. If she were some local celebrity, she would hit the tabloid media though. Recently there was some prosecution for something similar, but she didn't get punished and the prosecutor (a Black woman) dropped the charge.
In the Netherlands a cartoonist was once lifted off his bed by some police officers, had his computer confiscated, etc... for 'stirring up hatred'. Some imam reported him to some anti-racist organisation. Why? He drew cartoons mocking Islam. However, he immediately got the support of most political parties (also the leftists) and the public opinion was outraged for this. It are mainly the Christian Democrat CDA that is against freedom of speech in the Netherlands.
