The Dutch government is bracing itself for violent protests following the scheduled broadcast this week of a provocative anti-Muslim film by a radical right-wing politician who has threatened to broadcast images of the Koran being torn up and otherwise desecrated.

Geert Wilders , one of nine members of the extreme right wing PVV party in the Dutch parliament , has described the Koran as a 'source of inspiration for intolerance, murder and terror'.

Demonstrations from left wing and Muslim opponents of Wilders’ provocation are expected this week , while members of the Stop Islamisation of Europe group are planning to travel to Amsterdam in his support .
