The populist Dutch politician Geert Wilders is planning a sequel to last year's anti-Islam film Fitna.

Wilders told De Telegraaf newspaper on Thursday he plans to bring out Fitna II in 2010, and that the film will show the impact of mass migration from Muslim countries on Western society.

"It will not be a copy of Fitna. This is the next phase," Wilders told the newspaper.

Last year, Wilders, a member of the Dutch parliament, released the 16-minutes long Fitna on the internet. The short film argues that Islam is a violent religion.

In January 2009 the Amsterdam appeals court ordered prosecutors to put Wilders on trial for promoting hate speech.
