Brno: Czech Muslims invite controversial Dutch politician Geert Wilders, who may arrive in the Czech Republic next week, to present his anti-Islamist short film Fitna and discuss his views with them, Lukas Lhotan, from Libertas Independent Agency, told CTK yesterday.Originally, senator Jiri Oberfalzer (Civic Democrats, ODS) invited Wilders to show his film and deliver an address in the Senate on November 30, but the invitation was cancelled after criticism from other senators and politicians.
Libertas Independent Agency, associating Brno Muslims and friends of Islam, will send its offer to Wilders by e-mail.
"We want to start a discussion," Lhotan said.
He said the agency would pay for the lease of lecture rooms in Prague and Brno.
Last year, Libertas Independent Agency organised a debate on Fitna. The film wishes to demonstrate that the Quran, and Islamic culture in general, motivates its followers to hate all who violate the Islamic teachings.
Oberfalzer said Wilders's speech may be delivered elsewhere.
Wilders demands the reduction of the influence of the European Union, he stood up against the Lisbon treaty and refuses Turkey's EU entry.
His Party for Freedom (PVV) seeks a halt to immigration to the Netherlands and the ban on the construction of mosques in the country.
