Government lawyers are on the case:

AMSTERDAM, March 3 (Reuters) - The Dutch government is looking into whether it can stop a politician from releasing an anti-Koran film, fearing attacks on its citizens and businesses, a newspaper reported on Monday.

Government lawyers are looking into whether there are legal grounds to ban the film by anti-immigration lawmaker Geert Wilders, who has likened the Koran to Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf, the Telegraaf reported, citing sources close to the cabinet.

No comment from the government was immediately available.

The newspaper said the coalition government was divided on the film with the Christian Democrats more in favour of a ban while Labour was pushing freedom of expression and calling on Muslim countries to prevent violence against the Netherlands.

Has the government even seen Geert Wilders film yet? I doubt it.

Update: Robert Spencer:

The movie threatens the nation, you see. Not the irrational rage and grievance culture found in Muslim populations at home and abroad. Not the texts and teachings of Islam that mandate violence against uppity dhimmis and other unbelievers. Therefore, Wilders is to blame for people who react to his film with said irrational rage and violence.

Update: Allahpundit is intrigued:

I like the suggestion of a split over whether they should ask Muslims not to kill them.

Heh.
