(IsraelNN.com) The leader of Holland’s extreme right-wing Freedom Party this week called for a ban on the Koran, the book upon which Islam is based.
Dutch Member of Parliament Geert Wilders made the call in a letter published in the De Volksrant newspaper that began, “I have been saying this for years: there is no such thing as a moderate Islam.”
Wilders, whose Freedom Party holds nine of the 150 parliamentary seats in the Netherlands, added that sections of the Koran “call on Muslims to oppress, persecute or kill Christians, Jews, dissidents and non-believers, to beat and rape women and to establish an Islamic state by force.”
Wilders wrote in his letter that he was “fed up with Islam in the Netherlands” and calling for an end to Muslim immigration. “I am fed up with the worship of Allah and Mohammed in the Netherlands. No more mosques!” he wrote.
The Dutch lawmaker’s letter came after an attack on a young local politician who had founded a group to support people who leave Islam. According to the European Jewish Press, Eshan Jami was not “visibly injured” in the attack, but both he and Wilders are now protected by a special security detail.
The Freedom Party chairman railed against Jami’s attackers in the letter, urging Dutch parliamentarians to “Ban this wretched book like [Adolf Hitler’s infamous] ‘Mein Kampf’ is banned! Send a signal to Jami’s attackers and other Islamic radicals that the Koran cannot be used in the Netherlands as an inspiration or an excuse for violence.”
Dutch attorney Els Lucas responded to the letter by filing a complaint against the legislator, charging him with “insulting a section of the community” – a crime that carries a prison term of up to two years along with a fine of up to 16,750 euros.
“I think he has gone too far. It is unseemly that a member of parliament expresses himself like this,” Lucas told the ANP news agency.
It is not known whether the Netherlands Public Prosecutor’s Office will take the matter to court.
