Muslims in Netherlands seek to ban anti-Qoran film

By: Nabil Raza

THE HAGUE, Netherlands: Netherlands’ Muslims on Saturday staged a demonstration against a film on the Qoran made by a right-wing parliamentarian.

The protest in Amsterdam occurred the day after the Netherlands Islamic Federation asked a court to determine if Geert Wilders could be blocked from showing the film, according to Deutsche Welle.

The court is scheduled to rule next Friday on whether to set up a board of censors to review the film.

Non-Muslim groups participated in the protest, arguing that Wilders, head of the Party for Freedom, is a racist.

The government has said it believes Wilders cannot be stopped from showing his movie. Officials have suggested that he suppress it voluntarily.

Wilders has not been able to find a broadcaster willing to show the film. He has said he will post it online by April 1 if he can find no other way to release it.

In the short movie, Wilders tries to show that the Koran is "Fascist."
