Preliminary results in municipal elections in the Netherlands show that an anti-Islamic party gained ground and could jeopardize the general elections scheduled for June.

The Party for Freedom (PVV, for short Dutchman) led by Geert Wilders is opposed to what he calls the "Islamization" of the country.

General elections were called following the collapse of the Netherlands government in a dispute over the deployment of troops in Afghanistan.

Last year, the Freedom Party was placed as the second political force in elections to the European parliament.

Wilders positions are seen in many circles as extremist and xenophobic. He became known outside the borders of his country with a controversial short film entitled Fitna (a Koranic term can be translated as chaos or conflict), which shows scenes of the attacks of 11 September 2001 in the United States and of the Madrid attacks in March 2004 and London in July 2005.

The video, which shows a graph of the growing number of Muslims in the Netherlands and Europe, concludes with the message: "Stop Islamization.'s Defend our freedoms."

The UK had banned the entry of Wilders in the country.
