Wilders Says His Film Is Legal

RADIO NETHERLANDS WORLDWIDE: The Hague - The leader of the right-wing Freedom Party, Geert Wilders says there is nothing illegal about his anti-Qur'an film Fitna. He is negotiating with a number of television stations about their broadcasting the film, under the condition that it be sent out in its entirety.

Mr Wilders hopes to find a television station willing to broadcast the 15-minute film within the next few days; otherwise he will show it at a press conference later this month and then broadcast it via the internet. He is willing to show the film to National Anti-Terrorism Coordinator Tjebbe Joustra one day before its broadcast. However, he wants a guarantee that the film will not be banned. Sources in the Justice Department say such a guarantee cannot be given.

In the Afghan capital Kabul around 300 MPs demonstrated against the Wilders film and the Danish cartoons portraying the Prophet Muhammad. They demanded that the Afghan government deliver an official protest to the Dutch and Danish governments. [Source: Wilders says his film is legal >>>]
