Geert Wilders in Australia: Islam a "Dangerous, Totalitarian Ideology"

The Dutch politician said Islam wasn't a religion

A far-right politician in the Netherlands, Geert Wilders has called the Prophet Mohammad a murderer and used Anzac soldiers as an example of the courage needed to speak out against Islam.

Speaking in Melbourne at his first Australian press conference amid tight security, Wilders said the Prophet Mohammad was a savage leader of a gang of robbers that raped and murdered and mutilated its opponents, including the Jews in 7th century Medina and violence had carried on to Islam's modern day supporters.
