Dutch Pols Try to Isolate de Wilders


Geert de Wilders

[From article]
"Wilders, who believes that Islam is a violent religion and what he calls the Islamisation of Europe must stop, has consistently challenged the established order with his ferocious debating style, often accusing the government of cowardice.
He set up his own party after he was forced out of the VVD, and has lived under guard since 2004, when a Dutch-Moroccan killed filmmaker and Islam critic Theo van Gogh."

Labour figure calls on others to keep Wilders out of govt
Wilders, other politicians blast move as undemocratic
Blocking approach could push more voters towards far right
