Pakistan summons Dutch ambassador

Wednesday 05 March 2008

Pakistan summoned The Netherlands' ambassador on Wednesday to raise concerns about Geert Wilders' anti-Koran film, various news agencies reported on Wednesday.

News agency ANP quoted a Pakistan foreign ministry spokesman as saying the film had nothing to do with the right to freedom of expression.

Pakistan has also raised this issue in Brussels, the Vatican and The Hague, news agencies said. The Organisation of Islamic Conference to be held in Senegal later this month will also discuss the matter.

To me, these are just cheap political tactics of MP Geert Wilders. This is how he knows to get more votes.

I wonder why such extremists like Geert are not treated the same way as Al Qaeda or Taliban. It is a pity that such extremists should be become a symbol for the opinion of the whole of Netherlands or EU or West for that matter.

How about we call the Pakistani ambassador and ask him why he is hosting terrorist training camps and sending Jihadis to the west??

Abdullah, the difference is that Geert is not a terrorist, he may make muslims feel unwelcome, but he is not part of an organization using lethal violence, if he were, legal action would be taken. Violence is the difference, Wilders is insulting muslims by describing them as violent idiots, that wat way he may incite his opponents, not his followers to violence.

Teddy, 'unwelcome' is not the way we Muslims feel. We feel truly hurt, if people like Geert really need to know. I feel sorry for him and his followers who dont know much about Quran and blame it. This is SICK. Plz read it yourself and then see how do you feel about Geertishism.
In your opinion they may not be extremists but in my opinion they certainly are.
