Geert Wilders

Via AFP:

Saudi Arabia is “considering” sanctions against the Netherlands after an anti-Islamic stunt by far-right politician Geert Wilders, the Dutch foreign ministry said on Saturday.

In November, the anti-Islamic lawmaker printed stickers imitating the Saudi flag, replacing its text, which normally reads “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah” with “Islam is a lie, Muhammad a criminal, the Koran is poison”.

The Dutch foreign ministry told Agence France Presse on Saturday that Saudi Arabia feels “insulted” by Wilders and is considering sanctions.

“We have indications that show that Saudi Arabia is considering commercial measures against the Netherlands,” said spokesman Friso Wijnen.
