Anti-Islam Film “Same As Anti-Semitism”

A Jewish producer in the Netherlands, Harry De Winter, blasted far-right anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders this weekend for his anti-Islam movie, Fitna, already banned from media outlets worldwide. Wilders is intent on broadcasting his [1] Islamophobic film, after having its website pulled offline by its internet service provider, Network Solutions, and causing worldwide protest over its anti-Quran and anti-Islam contentions.

De Winter took out a front-page advertisement in the Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant to protest Wilders’ inflammatory actions, [2] saying that:

“If Wilders had said the same thing about Jews (and the Old Testament) as he does about Muslims (and the Koran), he would have been ostracized a long time ago and accused of anti-Semitism.”

[3] De Winter says Wilders’ anti-Islam hate speech are reminiscent of “how the persecution of Jews once started”, and [4] said that for him, “there is no difference between the yarmulke and the headscarf.”
