Amsterdam- Dutch right-wing politician Geert Wilders is to make a film about the "Islamisation" of the West in a follow up to his controversial 2008 film Fitna, which aroused fury in the Muslim world.

In an article in the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, Wilders said that he intended to show how western Europe had been affected by immigration from Muslim countries.

"We have to attack more, go on the offensive. We have to fight back," the paper quoted him as saying.

The 45-year-old leader of the opposition Party for Freedom has embarked on the new film project despite criminal proceedings pending against him on charges of incitement to hatred.

Wilders is known for calling Islam a "backward culture" and he has repeatedly referred to the Koran as a "fascist book." (dpa)
