INTERNATIONAL HERALD TRIBUNE: JERUSALEM: An Israeli lawmaker says a controversial Dutch legislator and filmmaker will speak at an upcoming Jerusalem conference on combatting radical Islam.
Geert Wilders' film "Fitna" linked attacks by Islamic militants to texts from the Quran, Islam's holy book. It sparked angry street protests in Muslim countries earlier this year and Jordan has informed Interpol he is wanted to face charges there.
The conference in December will be tailored to European legislators seeking to unite in opposition to militant Islam.
Ultranationalist Israeli lawmaker Arieh Eldad told a news conference Wednesday that the Europeans who would attend the gathering would represent the political mainstream in their countries and not the far-right. [Source: IHT] AP | September 3, 2008
