Poll: Over half of Dutch say Wilders anti-Islamic rhetoric fine

A majority of Dutch believe that Geert Wilders, the anti-immigration politician, does not need to tone down his inflammatory anti-Islamic comments, a poll on Friday showed.

A polarising figure in the Netherlands, Wilders has been criticised for speaking out against Islam and immigration, with comments comparing Islam to Nazism. Last month, a Dutch court acquitted Wilders of inciting hatred of Muslims. (Reuters)
