Responding to the news items recently published, a spokesperson of the embassy said the Prime Minister of Netherlands has regretted that Wilders released the film and stated that it serves no purpose other than to cause offence. The spokesperson said the Netherlands government is heartened by the initial restrained reactions of Dutch Muslim organizations.
