A foundation for the 144 Turkish mosques in the Netherlands is demanding that Twitter removes the account of PVV leader Geert Wilders.

The Turkish-Islamic Cultural Federation (TICF) considers many of Wilders’ statements to be contrary to Twitter’s terms of use.

If Twitter does not bow to their demands, and block the populist politician’s account, the foundation will take Twitter to court, lawyer Ejder Kose tells newspaper AD.

They plan to file charges against Twitter in four Islamic countries, Turkey, Morocco, Pakistan and Indonesia. Many of the things Wilders has said are punishable in those countries, Kose said.

“Twitter offers Wilders a platform to spread his hatred propaganda worldwide. This means that not only Wilders, but also Twitter, is punishable in those countries. The world is bigger than the Netherlands”, the lawyer said.

Kose referenced a September 2017 tweet posted by Wilders that said: “The truth: Mohammed is the example for more than 1 billion Muslims. Mohammed was a pedophile, mass murderer, terrorist and madman.”

The Turkish directorate for religious affairs with whom TICF is affiliated filed charges against Wilders for a video also posted on Twitter. The video says Islam equals discrimination, violence and terror, among other things. It ends with ‘Islam is death’, with blood dripping from the letters.

The Public Prosecutor did not prosecute Wilders for the video. “My client, the TICF, found that incomprehensible. We therefore started looking for other ways to stop Wilders.
