2009-01-23 "I view Islam not as a religion, but as a dangerous, totalitarian ideology - equal to communism and fascism. Aren't I allowed to say so? If I say that about communism, there would not be a problem. I have never talked about people, I've always made it about ideology."

2008-03-28 "On behalf of the European Parliament I fully reject the interpretation contained in the film that Islam is a violent religion.
The film's content seems conceived with the purpose of offending the religious senses of the Muslims in Holland, in Europe and the world.
The mutual respect and tolerance are the preconditions for Muslims, Christians and people of other faiths or without any to be able to live together in peace.
Freedom of expression is a fundamental value of the EU and must go side by side with the respect for the profound religious beliefs of the others".
