Analyse
In the 2008 film *Fitna* and in multiple interviews Wilders explicitly referred to Muhammad as a "pedophile" (citing his marriage to Aisha), a "warlord" and a "terrorist," and he labeled the Quran a "fascist book" that incites violence against Jews and Christians. These remarks are documented in the film’s narration and in Dutch media interviews shortly after its release.
Achtergrond
Geert Wilders, a Dutch politician known for his anti‑Islam stance, produced the short film *Fitna* to critique the Quran, using excerpts of verses accompanied by his commentary. His rhetoric has repeatedly sparked controversy and legal challenges across Europe for alleged hate speech.
Samenvatting verdict
Geert Wilders indeed made statements calling Muhammad a pedophile, warlord and terrorist and described the Quran as a fascist, violent text.
