Wilders Must Pay Rapper €3,000 in Fines for Using His Picture in Fitna

EXPATICA: AMSTERDAM - An Amsterdam court has ordered Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders to pay EUR 3,000 to the rapper Salah Edin for using his picture in his anti-Qur'an film Fitna. 



The picture was used by mistake to portray Mohammed Bouyeri, the Islamic extremist who killed film producer Theo van Gogh. 


The rapper bears a remarkable resemblance to Bouyeri. 


The final amount of damages Wilders will have to pay has not yet been determined; the EUR 3,000 is considered as an advance.
