Former Member of Freedom Party to Start Islamic Party in the Netherlands

10 September 2013

Arnoud van Doorn, a former member of the Freedom Party (PVV) in the Netherlands, and a convert to Islam, has announced that he will launch a political party founded on Islamic principles. Van Doorn was a member of the PVV until the end of 2011, when he was removed due to financial irregularities. He remains as an independent candidate on the city council in The Hague. Van Doorn made his announcement via Twitter this week, though the news repeats a similar announcement in March 2013 when he also provided an interview to Al Jazeera. Van Doorn has yet to provide a name or substantive details about the party.
