Moroccan author Mohammed Jabri has set up a committee, called Mirsab [meaning, Muhammad's sword], which will lodge complaints against anybody who expresses disdain towards Muslims.
Jabri says he is supported by lawyer, mosque administrations and author colleagues. The author, who has been called the Moroccan Theo Van Gogh, had set up and wrote on the disputed site Elqalem.nl, which had meanwhile disappeared. He wants Mirsab to function as a watchdog. "Anybody making racist statements about Islam, anybody who incites to hatred, we will deal with collectively in a judicial manner."
He says he's aware they'll lose many cases, but what concerns them is that one win will have a lasting effect. "If we succeed to force jurisprudence so that people like Geert Wilders will have a harder time in the future making discriminating standpoints about us, I'm satisfied." He says they aspire to noting more or less than equal treatment of Muslims in this society with equal participation for everybody.
Jabri's lawyers are ready to take action against the upcoming Geert Wilders movie about Islam.
