Anti-Muslim Dutch Leader Wilders Opposes Turkey Joining EU, Says Doesn't Want More But Less Islam


DAILY SABAH: Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders, the most popular politician in the Netherlands, has told Turks "you are not welcome here" in a video that takes aim at Turkey's hopes of joining the European Union.

Wilders, who is fiercely Islamophobic, has surged in public opinion polls with his call for the closing of national borders in the face of a refugee crisis that has seen hundreds of thousands of people, mostly Muslims, fleeing to Europe this year to escape conflicts and poverty in the Middle East and beyond. » | Reuters | Amsterdam | Friday, 4.
