AMSTERDAM- Support for the anti-Islamic Freedom Party of Dutch populist Geert Wilders has jumped to its highest level in more than a year after the Islamist militant attacks in Paris.

If elections were held now, Wilders's party would be the single largest in the Netherlands, with 31 seats in the 150-member parliament, more than twice as many as it won in the last elections, according to a Sunday poll.

In the wake of that bloodshed, Wilders said that the West was "at war" with Islam and he called for tough measures against it. "If we don't do anything, it will happen here," he was quoted by the newspaper Het Parool as saying.
