On the homefront it's probably going to be ok. Wilders is safe and won't be following in the footsteps of Theo van Gogh, who got shot for making a movie with MP Ayaan Hirschi Ali, who - in an amazing display of Dutch tolerance - was forced to leave the parliament and she left for the USA. The local authorities are well prepared too, and mainstream muslim leaders are calling for dialogue.
The question is, what is going to happen in the Middle East? Another Danish Cartoon crisis? We hear it's mainly going to depend on the situation on the ground there. Is the youth bored enough to go into the streets?

As we have seen in the past, if there's a reason to run around like maniacs, burning flags, beating up stuffed dummies, & trashing their neighborhoods, they will do just that. I guess it's their way of showing the world how peaceful Islam "really" is, ha.ha.
