He is well-known for his struggle against multi-culturalism and for free speech in the Netherlands. Lately his efforts to broadcast his movie ''[[Fitna]]'', which is critical of [[Islam]], have been opposed by many Dutch politicians and even the United Nations Secretary General, who in calling for the film to be censored, nevertheless stated "the right of freedom of expression is not at stake here." <ref>http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSN2844232220080328?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews&rpc=22&sp=true</ref>

* Islam is primarily a totalitarian ideology rather than a religion. I feel sorry for the Arab, Persian, Indian and Indonesian peoples who have to live under the yoke of Islam. It is a belief system that marks apostates for death, forces critics into hiding and denies our Western tradition of individual freedom. Without freedom, there can be no prosperity and no pursuit of happiness. More Islam means less life, less liberty and less happiness.<ref> [http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/may/4/resisting-threat-of-fanatical-islam/ Resisting threat of fanatical Islam:

Due to his strong emphasis on free speech and anti-Islam policy, he has strong political enemies. His main opponents are Alexander Pechtold (from D66, a liberal socialist party) and Job Cohen (form PVDA, the Dutch labor party).
