Controversial election-favourite Geert Wilders calls for all mosques to be shut and the Koran banned in Holland - as German right wingers want undocumented migrants sent to camps in chilling echo of the Nazis

  • Geert Wilders has launched his one-page 'de-Islamification' manifesto
  • The right wing politician wants all Islamic symbols stripped from Holland 
  • He also wants to follow Brexit and withdraw from the European Union
  • German right wingers, meanwhile, want migrants sent to special camps  


Dutch right wing politician Geert Wilders has called for all mosques and Islamic schools to be closed down and the Koran banned in a one-page election manifesto. 
The Freedom Party leader, who is topping the polls ahead of next year's elections, also wants a ban on all asylum seekers and migrants from Islamic nations, as well as a Dutch exit from the European Union. 

The divisive politician has been leading the polls in Holland for several months, although he may find it difficult to form a coalition due to his extremist views.

Wilders' manifesto was the first published by a major political party ahead of elections for the lower house of Dutch parliament which are due by March 15 next year. 
The party calls for a total 'de-Islamisation' of the Netherlands.
He would also close asylum centres housing Muslim migrants.
The party also called for a ban on headscarves for those who work in public and a ban on all other Islamic symbols deemed to be contrary to the interests of public order. 

As a preventive measure, radical Muslims would be locked away in jail while criminals with a double nationality would lose their Dutch passport and face deportation. 
Wilders also proposes that radical Muslims would be held in jail while criminals with dual nationality would be stripped of their Dutch nationality and deported

The party summed up their programme saying 'instead of financing the whole world and people we do not want to see here, we will spend money on ordinary Dutchmen'.

Wilders said the manifesto was a response to '1,400 years of Jihad'.  

In polls, the PVV is on course to take 35 seats in the 150-seat Dutch Parliament, about ten seats more than the ruling Liberal party of PM Mark Rutte.

Meanwhile, the Alternative for Germany party (AfD) wants to build camps to house refugees who do not have the correct paperwork.

For many the proposal conjures up images of the concentration camp system that the Nazis built to intern political enemies in the 1930s. 

One Green politician condemned the party's 'Nazi jargon when it speaks of camps'.
The populist anti-immigrant, anti-EU party in the eastern state of Saxony - scene of repeated attacks against refugee homes and individuals in the past year - say this 'separate quartering' is necessary 'to maintain public order and security'.

AfD politician Uwe Wurlitzer in Dresden said: 'A separate quartering of refugees without papers is necessary until the facts are clear beyond doubt. This serves the maintenance of public order and the security of all.

'Accommodation in camps with limited freedom of movement is the answer but school education, medical and cultural assistance will be maintained.'
