On February 27, 2008, Wilders released Fitna, a short film discussing his negative views of Islam and the Qu'ran. Fitna attracted considerable controversy. On April 1, 2008, Geert Wilders' office announced that the film would be edited to remove copyrighted material used without the consent of its owner. Wilders has tried to have the Qu'ran banned in the Netherlands, stating "the book incites hatred and killing and therefore has no place in our legal order." Geert Wilders Quotes
