ALERT! The Organisation of the Islamic Conference to Move to Block Geert Wilders’ Anti-Islam Film

PRESS TV – IRAN: Islamic states' envoys to the Netherlands are planning to meet the country's officials to warn them against producing an anti-Islam film.

The ambassadors from Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) member states have held a meeting to discuss ways to prevent the production of a controversial film by a far-right Dutch lawmaker that would be insulting to Islam, informed sources told Press TV.

Dutch MP Geert Wilders had earlier said that he planned to make the film to attack the Holy Qur'an.

The sources said the diplomats proposed that they hold a meeting with the Dutch Foreign Minister and other senior officials to warn them against the move and set up mechanisms to prevent insulting religious beliefs.

The controversial film is expected to spark worldwide protests similar to those staged after the publishing of a series of blasphemous cartoons by a Danish daily. [Source: OIC plans move against Dutch MP's film]
