Dutch anti-Islamic populist Geert Wilders and his Freedom Party scored a major election victory Thursday. Wilders campaigned to ban the Quran and close the borders to migrants from Islamic countries. Photo: Remko de Waal/AFP/Getty ImagesThe electoral win by Geert Wilders , the Dutch far-right leader who has championed draconian policies against immigration and Islam, reflects how intractable the issue of migration remains in Europe—and in much of the West. Nearly a decade ago, an influx of Middle Eastern and African arrivals drove a wave of anti-immigration policies across Europe, boosted the popularity of far-right parties and stirred tensions with Europe’s growing Muslim population.
