No to right-wing rally
BRUSSELS: The mayor of the Molenbeek municipality has banned a rally planned by the Dutch far-right populist Geert Wilders due to be held today.
Wilders and Filip Dewinter, a right-wing Flemish nationalist, had announced plans to hold a “Islamsafari” rally in Molenbeek, a Brussels suburb with many Muslim inhabitants.
Dutch firebrand Wilders has branded Islam a “religion of violence”, and “the greatest threat facing the Netherlands”. – dpa
