Earlier this month I put up a post about how Geert Wilders had called the Dutch PM a coward. Well it seems Geert has gone a step further and released his controversial film criticising the Koran on LiveLeak. Oh dear. There will be trouble ahead.......
More HERE.
UPDATE: Just as an indication of the interest in this film, in the 23 hours since being put up on Liveleak, it has been viewed 3.1 million times.

Dutch PM is a coward says MP Geert Wilders.
The controversial Dutch MP Geert Wilders, (who is to release a film later this month reportedly attacking the Koran) has called his Prime Minister a coward who has sided with the Taliban. His comments were made after praising the Danish PM for his stance on freedom of expression. Wilders said:
"I wish we had such a prime minister in Holland. "Unfortunately we have a coward who will not stand fast on the constitution's words about freedom of expression, but instead has sided with the Taliban."It's not surprising that the Danish PM, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, is trying his best to disassociate himself and his country from Geert Wilders:
"I dissociate myself completely from Geert Wilders' points of view, and I must clearly reject Mr Wilders' attempt at associating his views to those of the Danish government. "The Danish government respects all religions. Wilders generalises and demonises groups because of their religious or ethnic background."Wilder's film has the Dutch government bracing itself for violent protests. If they have any sense at all, they will go all out to stop this film being broadcast. Before anyone jumps down my throat and cries "freedom of speech!", Wilders has apparently threatened to show images of the Koran being torn up. I'm sorry but if someone from another religion was to tear up a Bible on TV whilst slagging off Christianity, I'd be more than a little angry.
