Amsterdam: A US Internet Service Provider has shut down the website of a controversial Dutch lawmaker who was promoting an anti-Quran film.
Geert Wilders’, who plans to release “Fitna” at the end of March, has been criticized for claiming that Islam’s holy book was “fascist.”
Network Solutions said it had suspended the site and was investigating whether it had violated its terms of service.
Thousands demonstrated in Amsterdam on Saturday saying that his views did not represent those of the majority.
The Dutch government has distanced itself from the lawmaker and fear the film’s release could spark violent protests, similar to those that took place after the publications of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.
