Wilders faces deportation in Moslem movie flap

From Klein Verzet:

Last Thursday Dutch National anti terrorism Coordinator Joustra has warned parliamentary member Geert Wilders. He told Wilders that he faces possibly deportation from the Netherlands if he releases his 10 minute Islam critical movie. Friday, a day after that, Prime minister Balkenende spoke of the crisis the country faces because of the movie. And both the ministers of domestic and foreign affairs told the parliamentary member that his movie might have consequences for his safety in and out of the country.

The English version of this story doesn't mention the "Deportation" word and makes it sound not quite as threatening...I don't know - it still sounds like the shameful way Ayaan Hirsi Ali was treated by the Dutch to me.

Infidel Bloggers Alliance by way of Poligazette (also mentioned in the comments section of the Klein Verzet piece) is reporting that Spong, a famous Netherlands lawyer (perfect name for one) has decided to take legal action against Wilders after being asked to do so by Muslim students...

and Muslims have created an organization whose goal it is to “keep an eye on everything that’s said and written about Islam and Muslims, in order to take legal action when” they feel insulted.

But it now looks like the screening date has been postponed:

Mr Wilders had promised to screen his film today, saying he would post it on the internet if no willing Dutch broadcaster could be found. But he has since been quoted as saying that the film will not debut for a couple of weeks. When contacted yesterday, his spokesman refused to confirm or deny any release date.

At least the Dutch people are standing by him: 66% of Dutch want to see Geert's film, although 40% are afraid of the consequences once it is shown.

In other Geert Wilders news: YouTube on Friday also removed a short film featuring a poster of anti-immigration MP Geert Wilders being shot five times. (Just more of the Religion of Peace in action.)

Greg Palkot of Fox News interviews Geert Wilders here.

Moderate Dutch Muslims appeal for calm in advance of the film's screening - say they are trying to "neutralize the threat". That sounds vaguely ominous to me. I hope that doesn't mean that they've got some poor Moslem schmoe lined up to take out Geert. Meanwhile, the Dutch Muslim Council labels him racist and fascist. Takes one to know one, eh, DMC?
