Netherlands: Wilders to do Fitna world tour

Dutch anti-immigrant politician Geert Wilders confirmed Monday he would tour Britain, France and Israel in the coming months to present his controversial Islam-critical film "Fitna."


Wilders told Dutch daily newspaper Spits he was travelling abroad to create international "alliances for peace and against Islamization."


Wilders, leader of the Dutch Freedom Party PVV, is one of the most outspoken critics of Islam in the Netherlands. He has received numerous death threats and has taken to keeping personal security guards.


He has received support from right-wing organizations such as the US thinktank American Freedom Alliance, which awarded him its so-called Freedom Award.
