Dutch right wing politician Geert Wilders has called for all mosques and Islamic schools to be closed down and the Koran banned in a one-page election manifesto.
The Freedom Party leader, who is topping the polls ahead of next year's elections, also wants a ban on all asylum seekers and migrants from Islamic nations, as well as a Dutch exit from the European Union.
The divisive politician has been leading the polls in Holland for several months, although he may find it difficult to form a coalition due to his extremist views.

Geert Wilders, pictured, has published his one-page election manifesto which calls for the 'de-Islamification' of Holland ahead of next year's vote. Wilders' Freedom Party is topping the polls with its hard line stance against migration and his populist anti-migrant policies

Wilders proposes closing all mosques and Islamic centres in Holland, such as the Essalam mosque in Rotterdam, pictured, which is the largest Islamic place of worship in Holland as well as placing restrictions on the wearing of the hijab while working among other measures
Wilders' manifesto was the first published by a major political party ahead of elections for the lower house of Dutch parliament which are due by March 15 next year.
The party calls for a total 'de-Islamisation' of the Netherlands.
He would also close asylum centres housing Muslim migrants.
The party also called for a ban on headscarves for those who work in public and a ban on all other Islamic symbols deemed to be contrary to the interests of public order.
As a preventive measure, radical Muslims would be locked away in jail while criminals with a double nationality would lose their Dutch passport and face deportation.
