Netherlands attempts to ban Quran

The Russian Blagovest agency has reported that the Christian Democratic Party (CDP) of the Netherlands decided to negotiate with the so-called Freedom Party, which is well recognized for expressing anti-Islamic views in the past. According to the reports, the CDA initially refused the every possibility of such kind of negotiations but later changed its stance.

Maxime Verhagen, the CDA leader, reportedly said these negotiations for now will be held to know each other’s view points. Though, if it happens to form a interparty coalition, then, Verhagen expects that he CDR (Christian Democratic Party) would put forward a variety of claims to the Freedom Party.

Furthermore, Verhagen explained that it will be essential to clear the disputed isuues relating the ‘’ Relations between our parties, the constitutional principle of our state and basic human rights’’. Maxime Verhagen also said that the CDA will not be working with the government, in which such rights can be challenged. ‘’ It is to be recalled that the Freedom Party gained popularity thanks to its leader Geert Wilders, who equated Islam with fascism and called for a ban of the Koran in the Netherlands. ‘’

Geert Wilders along with Christian Democrats and Dutch Liberals organized their first unofficial talks on Monday, the local Dutch news paper in its turn specified. On the contrary, the CDA leader Verhagen finally agreed to unite the preliminary talk relevant to forming a right-wing coalition. But he clarified by saying that the PVV leader, Wilders must have to withdraw his plans to introduce a tax for Muslim heardscarves, ethnic registrations and a ban of the Quran for any vision of a formal alliance

Nevertheless, as reported by the local commentators, it is expected that politicians of the Christian parties will never agree to such terms of the Islamophob, with an intention to form a government coalition

From the local Dutch citizens it is to be recalled that, Wilders has created a so-called ‘’International anti-Islamic alliance ‘’, the main objective of this alliance is to ban Foreign Muslims to immigrate to Western countries.

In the past Geert Wilders openly expressed his party’s radical views on his website by saying ‘’ I am fed up with Islam in the Netherlands: let’s put a stop to the influx of Muslim immigrants. I am fed up with the worshipping of Allah and Mohammed in the Netherlands: let’s put a stop to the building of mosques. I am fed up with the Koran in the Netherlands: let’s ban that fascist book.’’

According to local reports, Wilders acts under the slogan ‘’Stop Islam, Defend Freedom ‘’.The Islamophob insisted that this slogan is not only related to Netherlands, but it extends for the whole western world.

In a last month’s election in Netherlands, Wilders party was among the top third on the list of winners and gained 24 seats in the parliament.
