lol"Arnoud van Doorn, former member of the anti-Islamist Dutch politician Geert Wilders’ party and personal friend of his, has declared last month his conversion to Islam.
European media reported (http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/former-far-right-dutch-politician-converts-to-islam.aspx?pageID=238&nid=42372) that Doorn, who was a member of Wilders’ right-wing Freedom Party until the end of 2011 and helped produce the anti-Islam film “Fitna,” said that he had made a fresh start by announcing on Twitter his decision to embrace Islam and took the Shahadah (Declaration of Faith).
Following his decision to become Muslim, Doorn was hosted in Saudi Arabia this week where he visited the holy city of Mecca and performed Umrah. He later headed to Medina to visit the Prophet’s Mosque. During his visit, Doorn met the imams of the Prophet’s Mosque as well as Sheikh Abdulrahman al-Sudais, head of the Presidency for the Two Holy Mosques, who reportedly (http://www.saudigazette.com.sa/index.cfm?method=home.regcon&contentid=20130423162591) gave Doorn an English translation of Quran. According (http://www.islammemo.cc/akhbar/arab/2013/04/22/170742.html)to Islam Memo site, the visit was co-sponsored by the Saudi Ministry of interior (http://riyadhbureau.com/blog/2013/4/doorn-saudi) ."

I wonder if he's pretending to have converted just so he could go to Mecca and do something naughty, then piss the Muslim world off by tweeting about it.

"Totally just rocked the Kaaba while not being Muslim. Take that, jihadis! neener neener".

It's the most plausible explanation for an Islamophobe converting to Islam that I can think of.

That or a PR stunt for the idea of ISLAMIFICATION. Look, even the Dutch anti-islamists are falling victim!!

If we're to assume good faith though, one possibility (and far from the only possibility) is that he fell in love with a Muslim.

I think the guy is sincere with his conversion. He most likely felt that he mis-judged Islam and to make him self feel better about all the shit he spewed about it, he converts to Islam.

i happened several times though (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/aug/06/judaism.secondworldwar or http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/europe/09/23/poland.jewish/index.html for example), also the other way ofcourse, horst mahler from the RAF is now a leading neo-nazi in germany (although there was always a nasty undercurrent of anti-semitism in the anti-imp'ism of the 70's/80's), michael kuhnen and eite homan started out as maoists too, pim fortuyn was a leading marxist professor...

do note though that other than this article seems to imply the man in question was hardly a man of prestige in the PVV, he was a chancellor in the city of den hague and his claim to fame until now was dipping in to party funds and leaving the party midway his term to start his own..
still it is funny of course
