Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders tweeted an fake image this week, purporting to show a political rival demonstrating with Islamists holding signs calling for sharia law.
Wilders’ party is surging in the polls ahead of the Netherlands’ parliamentary elections, which are being held next month. He did not deny that the image was altered, nor did he apologize: Instead, when the rival objected, Wilders called him a “drama queen.”

Pechtold demonstreert met Hamas-terroristen.
Is dit de volgende stap?
The altered image, which Wilders tweeted on Monday, depicts Alexander Pechtold, the parliamentary leader of the left-wing D66 party, in a gathering of men. They hold signs that say things like “Islam will conquer Europe” and “Shariah for the Netherlands.”
Wilders claimed it showed Pechtold “demonstrating with Hamas terrorists.”
