AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A majority of Dutch people want an anti-Koran film made by a politician to be broadcast even though they fear it will stoke tension with Muslims and harm relations with Arab countries, a poll showed on Wednesday.

A newspaper reported on Monday that the Dutch government is looking into whether it could ban the film by right-wing lawmaker Geert Wilders, who has likened the Koran to Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf, but given few details about his movie.

He has also called the Koran a "fascist" book that incites violence and said it should be banned.

Wilders is calling the film "Fitna", an Arabic term used in the Koran and sometimes translated as "strife". The Web site where he plans to post the film (www.fitnathemovie.com) went live on Wednesday, showing a picture of the cover of the Koran.
