GEERT WILDERS - FITNA WORLD TOUR
BRUSSELS, Dec. 8 (Xinhua) -- Dutch right-wing lawmaker Geert Wilders plans to make an international tour with his film Fitna which is critical of Islam, Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant reported Monday.
Wilders said on Sunday that he will show the film in Israel, the United States, Britain and France.
Wilders, leader of the anti-immigration and anti-Islam Party for Freedom (PVV), released the film on the Internet in March. The17-minute film depicts Islam as a religion which encourages acts of terrorism. It sparked widespread protests in many muslim countries, and supermarkets in some countries boycotted Dutch products.
Wilders said he wants to use the tour "to build alliances for freedom and against the Islamization of the West."
Wilders will go to the United States in the spring to receive the American Freedom Award for "showing courage and dedication in defense of freedom."
Last week, Dutch National Coordinator for Counter-terrorism Tjibbe Joustra said the Netherlands is facing a "higher than ever" threat of a terrorist attack, mainly due to the film made by Wilders. He said the country is increasingly being mentioned in terrorist communications.
