A right-wing Member of Parliament from Holland has called for a ban on the Koran, which he said encourages murder and rape of non-Muslims. Geert Wilders described the Muslim holy book as "fascist" and compared it to Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf.

Wilders, whose party holds nine seats in the 150-member Dutch parliament, wrote in the De Volkskrant newspaper, "I am fed up with Islam in the Netherlands: no more Muslim immigrants allowed. I am fed up with the worship of Allah and Mohammed in the Netherlands: no more mosques." He also declared that "there is no such thing as a moderate Islam."

Wilders said parts of the Koran "call on Muslims to oppress, persecute or kill Christians, Jews, dissidents and non-believers, to beat and rape women and to establish an Islamic state by force." 

Wilders wrote the letter after a recent attack on a local politician who founded a group backing those who renounce Islam.
