But no, they have never taken this kind of action, never expressed this kind of indignation, against the violent Muslims depicted in the film.
“Islamic countries want Dutch to ban Wilders movie,” by Sebastiaan Gottlieb for Radio Netherlands:
The ambassadors of 26 Islamic countries want the Netherlands to investigate whether the film Fitna made by Dutch right-wing populist MP Geert Wilders can be banned. They asked Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen whether it is possible to start legal proceedings against the anti-Islam film. The meeting at the ministry in The Hague was attended by ambassadors of countries including Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
Mr Verhagen told the 26 ambassadors he was pleased that responses from the Muslim world up to now had been moderate. He said the public prosecutor was investigating whether any offence had been committed, and the Dutch government clearly distanced itself from the film.
At the same time he called on the ambassadors to ensure Dutch citizens and organisations abroad were protected. “Let’s keep heads cool and relations warm,” he added. “We know about the concerns and feelings about this film among the international Muslim community, but hurt feelings must never be an excuse for aggression and threats.”
Too late!
