Populist MP Geert Wilders is writing a book about the history of Islam that argues it is not a religion but an ideology.
The book, which was to be published in the first half of 2011, is now due to appear in the second half of the year, Mr Wilders told news website NU.nl.
The initiative for the book, Mr Wilders says, comes from the United States, where it will appear first, to be followed by a Dutch translation.
Mr Wilders also revealed he is working on a continuation of his short anti-Islam film Fitna, but he couldn't yet say when it would be completed.
Regarding the unrest in the Arab world, the far-right politician claims that democracy will not take hold in the Maghreb and the Middle East unless people turn away from Islam.
He warned that things could go either way and the future could see regimes that are even worse than those of ousted Presidents Hosni Mubarak of Egypt and Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali of Tunisia or that of Libya's Colonel Muammar Gaddafi.

PVV in Europe refuse to applaud freedom of thought prize winners
Thursday 15 December 2011
The four members of the anti-Islam PVV in the European parliament on Wednesday refused to stand or to applaud the winners of this year's Sacharov prize for freedom of thought.
The prize, awarded to 'individuals who combat intolerance, fanaticism and oppression' went to five activists in the Arab Spring uprising.
According to Barry Madlener, leader of the PVV delegation in Europe, 'it is incredibly stupid to award the prize to an Arabic civil war'. There is no hope for democracy as long as Islam remains the dominant religion, he was quoted as saying.
Hans van Baalen, leader of the VVD Liberals in Europe, said the PVV's decision was an insult to people who had risked their lives for the right to freedom of expression and had opposed religious and political fanaticism.

I would love to read that book. I welcome any information about Islam so that we have a better perspective of what they are fighting for. We cannot judge them without understanding the real story behind it all.Cek Magdurlari
Great Job Mr. Wilders - You Sir are one of the few responsible for saving 21st Century Western Civilization from the 7th Century Barbarism of Islam. Other notables, in chivalrous order: Ms. Schlussel, Ms. Geller, Mr. Spencer.
Political correctness (PC) has turned well-intentioned but misguided language usage into a death sentence. Words are chosen for their specific meaning to convey a particular message. PC has required parties to infer meaning from words unspoken and has eliminated one of human's greatest strengths - language. Language without meaning is useless. Evil is not good, and wrong is not right. Women saying "No" to sexual advances don't mean "Yes."
Truth should never be hate speech even if it is hateful. For protected groups unencumbered by PC, should we not believe Muslims when they call us, per their Koran: diseased (2:10), evil (2:99), deaf dumb and blind (2:171), can't be our friends (3:28), are our enemies (4:101), losers (5:53), pigs and apes (5:60), evil (5:59), worst beasts (8:55), filthy (9:28), perverts (9:30), and the vilest of creatures (98:51)?
The American saying, "Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me" is wrong concerning Muslims. Names will not only hurt us, names will result in our deaths. As will cartoons and thousands of other non-violent acts. Tens of millions of people, over 1400 years, have been slaughtered by the sword (Jihad) made valid through the pen (Koran). We have been killed solely because we chose to believe differently while Muslims have killed us in accordance with Mohammed, Koran, Hadith, and Sira.
If we are not to believe Muslims' words, should we not believe their actions against us? Muslims are allowed or required to do the following against us non-Muslims (Infidels) per Mohammed, Koran, Hadith, and Sira: Pre-Pubescent Child Rape (65:4), Sex Slaves (4:24), Rape (24:13), Amputation and Crucifixion (5:33), Beheading (8:12, 47:4), Wives Beating (4:34) and Wives Raping (2:223), Theft and Robbery (entire Chapter 8 of Koran called Booty), Extortion (9:29), Lying (3:28, 5:51), Stoning to Death for Adultery (Sahih Muslim 17.4206),..etc.
Should we not examine Mohammed, an "excellent example of conduct" for Muslims (Qur'an 33:21) when as a 54-year old man (Mohammed) he raped a 9-year old girl (Aisha)? Should we not look closely at Mohammed who helped behead hundreds of captive Jews in one day in 628 A.D. in Medina, Saudi Arabia, including young boys for the capital offense of having public hairs? Should we ignore Islam because it calls itself a religion, even though it allows activities that the FBI says are felonies?

Mr Wilders is not a racist, he is not far right wing, he is a conservative politician. He has no problems with ANY race or culture, he has a problem with ISLAM because it is murdering people and wants to rule the world.
All these leftists think they have the monopoly of what is right and wrong....well communism has alsways thought like that, and from now on I shall call every left wing group communist.
Islam is not only a Ideology but a political-military ideology working for the ultimate goal of World domination.
The religion is only a mask, a sugar-chocolate coating on a poison candy, its just a polish
Whenever and wherever Muslims grow in majority they shed this coating and show the true colors of Islam.
In what sense is Wilders "far Right"? Because he wants freedom, or because you wish to traduce him as a racist? Please do not use such terms without thinking, because the right is mostly libertarian, i.e. lacking ideology and promoting freedom. But that is not what you mean, is it? So what exactly do you mean by "far right"?
Mr Wilders is a statesmen much like our revered Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Martin Luther King, JR. He states rightly, that Islam is an ideology foremost, proven by the words of their own KORAN. Muslim Women and children suffer in silent agony and unrequited death as the world (Netherlands) debate laws of protection for muslim men? Men responsible for the ideology that spreads unjust, unmerciful, totalitarian and evil laws? Justice for all? There is no justice in Islam. For the men who rule this ideology and control entire populations are themselves pedofiles and paligamists and the sick part is: they are proud of it!! Because of Mohammad? Because of a mere man who sold the world on a lie? Because Mahammad too was a pedofile, a horrid fake who has entrenched our civilization in an ideology of death. This is Satan, if there is such evil and it is ISLAM.

I'm Muslim Women and never in my life I suffer in silent agony and unrequited death (in any contexts you are referring to). Don't generalize what you've seen on Middle East (or any place your reference are) as representative of Islam rules for its women. And never say that Islam suggest poligamist, cause it doesn't. Just because you see Arab man doing it, doesn't mean Islam teach him to do it. Poligamist had been there a long time before Islam came. And the only verse in Quran,if you've read it (which unlikely) tried to diminish (by limiting the number of women man could married from more than 10 to 4, in very strict condition) if not completely erase this social tradition (by adding in the same verse that there's no way you can fulfill the condition). And none of what you've said about Muhammad, are true. I regret your lack of understanding and your knowledge has driven you to misaprehend Islam and interpret it as "religion of Arabians".
And yes, Mr Wildeer, Islam is an ideology. And so does any religion in the world (Christian, Catholic, Buddhism, Capitalism, Scientology, Sex ; any thing you consider as Code of Your Life is a religion). To take premise that what Mobarak have done(or any political situation in Middle East) as a result of Islam as an Ideology is unrelevance due to the fact that nothing they have done is based on Islam or Quran.
junah you should know the exactly meaning context of koran and history of islam.take a looked in the mirror and examined the past relevant history of muhammad during his time.the rights of woman,the teaching of muhammad merely contradicted in 10 commandments of god( if he's true prophets why he so violent),among his doctrine based in heretic and influence of christian sects,judaism and pagans.he combined the concept and principle of these religion to create his own..
