Excerpt:
The Dutch anti-Islam populist Geert Wilders has been told he is "not welcome" in the western German town of Monschau after he spent the weekend in the Eifel region.
The parliamentarian and leader of the far-right Party for Freedom, along with several armed bodyguards, stayed from Saturday afternoon until Sunday morning in the town, according to police in the city of Aachen.
Wilders, who promotes a strongly anti-immigration and anti-Muslim platform, has called for the Koran to be banned in the Netherlands, among other incendiary positions. His party recently performed strongly in council elections.
