The plans of Dutch politician to release a film about the Quran has unleashed a firm debate, if not moral panic. His political propaganda film will be about the, according to him, intolerant, violent and fascist message of Islam which incites Muslims to hatred and violence.

Among Muslims in the Netherlands the plans have raised some eyebrows and there were meetings between mosques and local authorities but in general, is my impression, many Muslims do not care. Many of them do wonder however if and how they should respond.

The film isn’t there yet but first the responses are there now and they can all be labelled as: let’s be nice. There is for example the initiative of sending as many hugs to him as possible and the initiative ‘Holland loves Muslims‘.
