\tMuslim countries warned Friday of strong reactions to an anti-Islam film posted on the Internet by far-right Dutch deputy Geert Wilders, though initial reactions in the Netherlands were calm.
\nWilders posted his film “Fitna”, featuring violent imagery of terror attacks in New York and Madrid intertwined with Koranic texts, on the Internet on Thursday.
\nA handful of Muslim countries had responded early Friday, with Iran saying the short movie showed some Westerners were waging a “vendetta” against Islam, and warning of unspecified repercussions.
\nBangladesh also said the film could have “grave consequences”, while a coalition of Jordanian media said it would sue Wilders and launch a campaign to boycott Dutch products.
\nThe European Union’s Slovenian presidency also attacked the film, saying it served “no other purpose than inflaming hatred.”
\nBut Muslim leaders in The Netherlands called at a joint press conference for their co-religionists in other countries not to over-react.
\n“We call on them to follow our strategy and not react with attacks on Dutch embassies or tourists,” the head of the Dutch Moroccan community, Mohamed Rabbae, said.
\n“We feel offended by the link between violence and Islam but we know this guy (Wilders), the best response is a response in a responsible manner.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
