Some of you may have heard that the UK maintains a list of foreign individuals whom are banned from entering the country for promoting hatered.

Well, the UK Immigration and Asylum tribunal recently overturned a ban on the Dutch MP Geert Wilders, who was denied entry to the UK last year. He's responsible for a controversial anti-Islamic film, and is also trying to get the Koran banned from the Netherlands.

Now you can make your own mind as to whether or not the man promotes hatred - he calls himself a defender of freedom and democracy, but you can't help but sympathise with him a little bit when you look at how members of the UK's muslim community greeted him:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Controversial Dutch MP Geert Wilders has hailed his arrival in the UK as a "victory for freedom of speech".


He told a packed press conference in Westminster he was "proud of the UK asylum and immigration tribunal" for overturning the ban.

And he repeated his criticism of Muslim ideology and defended his call for the Koran to be banned in Holland.

His press conference was moved inside amid angry scenes, with demonstrators chanting "Wilders go to hell".

About 40 Muslim protesters gathered outside the Abbey Gardens buildings, opposite the Houses of Parliament, where the hastily rearranged press conference was held.

Held back by a police line, and surrounded by camera crews from around the world, they chanted slogans such as "Sharia for the UK" and "Freedom go to hell" and held up placards saying: "Sharia for the Netherlands" and "Islam will be superior".
