Dutch politician calls for ban on Koran
Article from: Reuters
From correspondents in Amsterdam
August 08, 2007 08:01pm

DUTCH anti-immigration politician Geert Wilders has called for the Koran to be banned in the Netherlands, branding it a "fascist book" in the vein of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf which legitimises violence.
Writing in Dutch daily De Volkskrant today Wilders said: "Ban this wretched book just like Mein Kampf is banned. Send a signal ... to Islamists that the Koran can never, ever be used in our country as an excuse or inspiration for violence."
Hitler's Mein Kampf, published in 1925, outlines the future Nazi dictator's racist ideology. It has been banned from sale in the Netherlands since the end of World War Two.
Ayhan Tonca, chairman of the CMO umbrella group of Dutch Muslim organisations said Wilders' comments were best ignored.
"This is typical Wilders. This is a ridiculous idea," he said
"There is not much news at the moment so he is trying to create some."
Mr Wilders, whose new party won nine seats out of the 150 in Parliament in last November's elections, is well known for his firebrand remarks on Islam.
He has warned of a "tsunami of Islamisation" in a country home to 1 million Muslims, and has lived under heavy protection since receiving death threats from Islamist militants in 2004.
Mr Wilders said an attack over the weekend by two Moroccans and a Somali on a young Iranian-born politician who heads a Dutch group for "ex-Muslims" had spurred him to write.
The attack on Ehsan Jami, 22, caused an outcry in the Netherlands, where the November 2004 murder of Theo Van Gogh, a filmmaker critical of Islam, by a Dutch-Moroccan Muslim militant led to an anti-Muslim backlash and exposed social tensions.
Issues of immigration and integration no longer top the political agenda, despite the efforts of Mr Wilders and his allies.
"Allah sees the death penalty as fitting for those who no longer believe," Mr Wilders wrote today, adding this view had fuelled the attack on Jami, now under police protection.
The Muslim holy book should be banned from sale, from use in mosques and private households, Mr Wilders added.
Earlier this year, Mr Wilders called for a vote of no-confidence in two Muslim Government ministers, questioning their loyalty to the country because of their dual nationality.
He has also campaigned to ban Muslim face veils, ban the building of new mosques and halt all Muslim immigration.
In April, Mr Wilders was warned by the Dutch anti-terrorism chief that his anti-Islam statements had stoked anger in the Middle East, and that he was going too far. http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,22211667-5003402,00.html
Wise move don't you agree?

Re: Ban Quran

Censorship is evil. Good policing will end the threat of Islamic terrorism, not racist wanks like this.
The race card should never be legitimate in politics.

edit: all my love to the dutch, a great and noble people

Al Quaeda as we know it doesn't even exist, for the most part.

This could all be dealt with with a sustained police action and co-operation throughout the world.

We're reaping the benefits of American empire building :)

Policing can solve this.

The problem isn't Al Qaeda. The problem is all muslims. Policing is not enough. We need government legislation.

No....freedom of religion....

People should be able to choose what religion or book they want and the state shouldnt be banning an entire faith's book.
even if it incites violence, hatred and violence towards women in general, and non believers?

Freedom of religion should only exist in private. In public religion should be banned. Except for Islam which should just be banned completely because it is dangerous.

Because it bothers other people who don't follow the same religion and that is an unwanted violation of their freedom.
