THE HAGUE (AFP) — The Dutch government is ready for any possible fallout of a planned film by far-right MP Geert Wilders that attacks Islam as an "inspiration for murder," Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende said Friday.
"We are ready to react quickly, it is our role to be prepared for calamities," Balkenende told journalists at his weekly press briefing.
Earlier on Friday Dutch media had reported that the government had compiled a secret document on how best to deal with reactions to the film.
Wilders, the head of the far-right Freedom Party, announced in November that he planned to release a 10-minute film this month that will show that Islam's holy book, the Koran, "is an inspiration for intolerance, murder and terror".
Observers say Wilders might burn or tear up the Koran in the movie. In February last year the MP called on Muslims to "tear out half the pages of the Koran and throw them away".
