Amsterdam - Dutch legislator and Islam critic Geert Wilders wants the Dutch government to break off all diplomatic relations with Jordan if that country does not cease its efforts to seek his extradition. 

On June 10, the Jordan public prosecutor announced he was charging Wilders with incitement against Islam following a complaint, filed by a group the Messenger of Allah United Us, over his 16-minute political film Fitna, released late March. 

In the film, Wilders expressed concern about what he called the Islamization of the Netherlands and the spreading of Muslim fundamentalism in Europe. 

Writing in Dutch daily newspaper Volkskrant on Thursday, Wilders said Foreign Minister Maxime Verhagen should defend Dutch interests substantially more than he is doing today. 

Wilders suggested calling the Jordanian ambassador for a full accounting, or even expelling him from the country and recalling the Dutch ambassador in Amman. 

He said a third stage would be to break off the "close relations" between the two royal houses and to stop Jordan businesses from operating in the Netherlands. 

According to Wilders, Verhagen has refused to call in the Jordan ambassador, claiming he cannot interfere in the judicial system of a sovereign country. 

Calling this decision "stupid and naive," Wilders argued that Jordan did not have an independent legal system. 

Wilders is the leader of the Dutch Freedom Party, which runs on a platform of strong criticism on the Islam. According to Wilders, Islam is a "fascist" and "backward" religion. (dpa)
