KABUL – The Taliban has threatened to step up attacks against Dutch soldiers in Afghanistan if Geert Wilders releases his “insulting” anti-Islam film.
The PVV MP’s film is an “insult to Islam”, says Zabihullah Mujahid, a spokesperson for the Taliban, in a telephone interview from an undisclosed location.
“We in Afghanistan shall step up the attacks against the Dutch troops if the film is aired.” He added that the Taliban will call on the UN to stop these kinds of actions in order to prevent a rupture between Islam and the rest of the world.
Ministers Ernst Hirsch Ballin (Justice) and Maxime Verhagen (Foreign Affairs) talked to Wilders about the film on Wednesday afternoon in a continuation of a discussion that started last year when the government first expressed its concerns about the consequences of the film in the Netherlands and abroad.
Geert Wilders said after the meeting that he had felt ‘intimidated’ during the talk.
Minister Verhagen however says he feels it is his duty to point out to Wilders what his film could unleash.
The minister said on Radio 1 on Thursday that he found it “entirely incomprehensible” that Wilders felt the meeting was intimidating. Verhagen thinks that the truth is perhaps too confrontational for Wilders. He said he explained to Wilders the emotions that have already flared up abroad in response to news of his film. Verhagen is very concerned.
Verhagen referred to demonstrations, possible attacks on embassies and damage to Dutch institutions and businesses abroad. “A list has already been drawn up of Dutch products. A dairy company like Campina can suffer significant damage.” Many countries may decide to boycott the products. He also pointed out the threat from the Taliban to step up attacks on Dutch soldiers in Afghanistan.
Verhagen does not think these are matters that Wilders can just “shrug his shoulders at and say it’s nothing to do with him.” Because Verhagen says not only the freedom of expression is at stake but also human lives.

Geert Wilders is like Paul Revere shouting ‘It’s at the door!’ ‘Wake Up!’. He has allowed himself to become a target to preserve democratic freedom and liberty. Those who want to silence him are dead wrong and are the Chamberlains of WWII. Hitler wasn’t to be trusted neither are the Muslims.
absolutely. this world can do with some more Churchills. I think Sarkozy may be one.
Someone needs to kindly inform Minister Verhagen that, Muslims are already attacking and killing Dutch!
He obviously lives in a big fancy house and never leaves it. -lol
I cant believe the Leftest would rather Dutch die on there own European streets then to possibly loose a little bit of business.
Mr. Geert Wilders love his people like Jesus does, unlike those appose to any movie which dares show truth.
In a Democracy, all have the right to make films. Lets see truth for a nice change, and let the democracy decide.
Verhagen is a pansy. He needs to grow a pair. What a politically correct wimp he is.
Wilders on the other hand, is standing up and speaking his mind and defending free speech, and women’s rights, gay rights and everything else the Netherlands stands for. The pansies are just to scared to admit it or do something about it.
It’s true that the muslims are going to throw a fit, he’s right. But so what? They already are, like you said. And the sooner someone stands up to them and kick their genocidal maniac behinds out of Europe the better.
Wilders should get all the respect and support he deserves and the new reconquista has to start as in yesterday.
