A book on Islam by Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders, which is due to be published in the US in April, is also generating interest in other countries.

“They will probably soon follow,” Wilders said on Wednesday, the first day the book could be ordered in advance. The book is called Marked for Death: Islam's War Against the West and Me and is scheduled for US release on 30 April.

The Dutch Ambassador to Egypt, Susan Blankhart was called to the Egyptian Foreign Ministry, today, to protest 'defamation of Islam' in a new book by the Hon. Geert Wilders. Wilders' book is scheduled to be released here in the US, next April. The Egyptians were likely using this opportunity as a media event. We note that this occurred while our State Department's conference on The Istanbul Process Combating Intolerance conference was taking place in DC. With representatives from member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the EU, the OSCE, gathered in Washington why miss an opportunity to stifle any criticism of Islam and deny Free Speech? After all this plenary session in DC is developing 'best practices' to rein in religious intolerance. How Orwellian of them.
