Muslim Council of Britain says Dutch election result deeply worrying

RELIGIONS NEWS AGENCY (REDNA) – The Muslim Council of Britan has issued a statement saying the Dutch general election result, where Geert Wilders’ car fight party won most of the seats, “is deeply worrying, for minority groups and values such as religious freedom and expression”.

It says the win is a sign of divisive far-right populist politics in Europe, based on a manifesto of banning of The Qur’an, mosques, Muslim schools and women’s headscarves.

The MCB urges the party’s coalition partners to prevent its xenophobic agenda from being enacted.
