The report “Dutch party threatens to ban mosques” (Aug. 27) should be taken seriously. The Dutch politician notorious for his hatemongering, Geert Wilders, whose party is tipped to win the next election has proposed to ban mosques, Islamic schools and the Holy Qur’an.
The current Islamophobia in the West is the direct result of Daesh and other terrorist organization’s actions but Wilders hate campaign against Islam started much before the terrorist incidents that took place on the European soil.
On the other hand, there is Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump who wants to bar Muslims from entering the United States. Trump’s stance is also the result of the actions of Daesh and its likes.
