In the Hague, ex-Muslim Ehsan Jami has presented his English-language film entitled Interview with Mohammed. In the film, the prophet Mohammed looks back on his life and the interviewer questions him on women's rights, non-believers and Judaism.
Mr Jami says his film is not against Islam. It pays attention to what he calls the victims of Islam. He hopes the film will improve their situation.
The fifteen minute film was presented to the press in the parliamentary press centre in The Hague. It is also on the internet. Justice Minister Ernst Hirsch Ballin has criticised the showing. He says he is concerned about the image of the Netherlands in the media abroad. The minister stresses that Islam is fully respected in the Netherlands, but that there is also freedom of speech.
