Wilders said he would show the cartoons during television airtime reserved for political parties, in a move likely to offend Muslims since Islamic tradition holds that any physical depiction of the Prophet Muhammad is blasphemous.

Wilders, whose Freedom Party holds 12 of the 150 seats in Parliament's lower house, told The Associated Press he wants to air cartoons from the Texas competition to support people "who use the pen and not the sword."
"If we say, `it might be offensive, so let's not do it,' then we send a signal to the people who wanted to get into the event in Texas ... and all their followers that it works," he said. "That we can be intimidated, that we get frightened."
