Joram van Klaveren: Former anti-Islam Dutch MP converts and becomes Muslim

Joram van Klaveren: According to his former party leader, Islamophobe Geert Wilders, "it's like a vegetarian going to work in a slaughterhouse".

It is a conversion that surprises. Which even detonates. A former Dutch MP, formerly right-hand man of the Islamophobic politician Geert Wilders, surprised by announcing he converted to Islam, a revelation that made a lot of ink on Tuesday in the country. Geert Wilders did not hesitate to compare this change to a "vegetarian going to work in a slaughterhouse".

Joram van Klaveren is known to have for years led a fierce battle against Islam in the lower house of the Dutch Parliament, for the party of Geert Wilders, the PVV (Party for Freedom).

The training pleaded for a ban on the burqa and minarets, saying "do not want Islam, or as little as possible in the Netherlands," notes Algemeen Dagblad.
