Islamic Group Announces 10 Million Pakistani Rupees For Geert Wilders’s Head

A Sunni Muslim group in Pakistan has announced 10 million Pakistani rupees as a reward for anybody who could kill the Dutch politician Geert Wilders for making the ‘anti-Koran’ movie, Fitna. The Urdu-language newspaper Roznama Express reported that the announcement was made during a protest rally in the Pakistani city of Hyderabad by the fundamentalist group Sunni Tehreek.

According to the report, the Sunni Tehreek leader Muhammad Khalid Qadri told the rally that by producing such movies or publishing blasphemous cartoons, the Jews and Christians are making a profane attempt to hurt the sentiments of Muslims under a premeditated conspiracy. He urged the new Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani to end all relations with Holland.
