Shafaqna English- Fourteen Muslim organizations in the Netherlands have filed a criminal complaint against far-right leader Geert Wilders, accusing him of inciting hatred, discrimination against Muslims.
In a written statement, Muslim Rights Watch – one of the signatory groups – said the complaint accuses Wilders of “insulting a group, inciting hatred, discrimination and violence, and provoking hostility and social unrest.”
The filing follows a post Wilders shared on social media last week featuring an image that the groups say fuels anti-Muslim sentiment and discrimination. The image portrays Muslims as “dangerous and unwanted people,” showing the left half of a young, blonde woman to symbolize “good” and the right half of an angry, elderly, headscarf-wearing woman to symbolize “evil.”
The statement said Wilders’ intent was clearly to incite hatred and discrimination against Muslims.
