Wilders is your typical bigoted/racist asshole, happily pontificating about his right to "Freedom or Speech or Expression" in one breadth, while advocating the banning and censoring of things like the Qu'ran with the next.
Personally I'm hoping the one of the legal investigations by the EU (for advocating human rights violations), the Netherlands (for treason), or civil courts (for a whole slew of racist and bigoted violations) goes through and tosses this tool in prison.

IIRC the History Channel or Discovery did a program (maybe this one
http://store.aetv.com/html/product/index.jhtml?id=70652 )
about Islam.
It showed that today, many parts have been "co-opted by extremists".
But it also showed that this is not the very first time that has happened.
It is a religion that it seems that the masses rely a great deal upon the interpretive teaching/preaching of their religious leaders.
And those teaching can and do change.
It is all to easy to take phases out of context and link them together.
The program showed how that was/is done over the course of history.
How it has been swung both ways.
I just wish I was more sure about the program for it was very well done.
