Parliament member Martin Bosma of the PVV (Party for Freedom) thinks Islam shouldn't be considered a religion. He said that in parliament on Thursday. "Islam is not a religion," according to Bosma.
The member of Geert Wilders' party made his statement in a debate about religious education. In it he agreed that religion is an important subject which should be discussed in elementary school. According to Bosma that doesn't hold for Islam, which he doesn't see as a religion. The PVV members didn't say in the debate what Islam is then.
Earlier party head Wilders did give an indication to that. In the HP/De Tijd magazine he said a year ago that "Islam is more an ideology than a religion."
