Amsterdam, June 7: Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders has taken frequent stand against Islamic fundamentalism in his country. He has spoken up in support of BJP’s former spokesperson Nupur Sharma.
Wilders, stated that Sharma’s statement about Prophet Muhammad is a fact and not some false allegations. “It is ridiculous that Arab and Islamic countries are angered by Indian politician Nupur Sharma’s statement for speaking the truth about Prophet Muhammad who indeed married Aisha when she was six years old and consumed the marriage when she was nine. Why does India apologize?”
Wilders also said, “Appeasement never works. It’ll only make things worse. So my dear friends from India, don’t be intimidated by Islamic countries. Stand up for freedom and be proud and steadfast in defending your politician Nupur Sharma who spoke the truth about Prophet Muhammad.”
Wilders also shared the screenshot of a threat message by a Pakistani Muslim man who had threatened to murder him and ‘destroy America and the EU’. He stated that he gets such death threats every single day from Pakistani or Turkish Muslims who want to kill in the name of the ‘so-called Prophet Muhammad’.
