Geert Wilders, the Dutch far-right leader has spent years spouting anti-Muslim rhetoric. Many of his anti-Islam policies were drafted by Joram van Klaveren, a former Dutch lawmaker.

Today, van Klaveren dedicates his life to defending Islam. The World’s Europe correspondent Orla Barry has more from Rotterdam.
