Excerpt:
The Dutch anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders on Wednesday angered German Chancellor Angela Merkel by provocatively praising her recent attack on multiculturalism.
Merkel's conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) had taken "leadership in the area of Islam criticism," Wilders told the Dutch parliament.
"Mrs Merkel – she is right," he added as he gave the opening address on behalf of his Freedom Party (PVV), which recently agreed to support a minority right-wing coalition government in the Netherlands.
