Muslims to file lawsuit over Tuesday’s neo-Nazi rally

The association of Muslims living in the Czech Republic is preparing to file a lawsuit in connection with the screening of the controversial film Fitna at a neo-Nazi gathering in the centre of Prague on Tuesday. The film by the ultra-right Dutch MP Geert Wilders is a denunciation of Islam as a fundamentalist religion that incites violence against other cultures. Tuesday’s gathering in the city centre was organized by the ultra-right National Party and was eventually dissolved by the police on the grounds of its racist and xenophobic content. Thirteen people were detained for questioning. The association of Czech Muslims said it would ask the Interior Ministry to review the party’s registration on the grounds that its statutes alone are in violation of the law.
