Walter,
This chap sounds like quite the fool. If he's actually putting this in articles (I do not read Dutch well, so I don't know exactly what was written), then it is POV rubbish and should be reverted like any common vandalism. Saying "Allah Akhbar is almost the same as Heil Hitler" is quite clearly POV.
Hoi, It depends on how you want to read it. When you read it as "Allah Akhbar" and "Heil Hitler" are used in a similar way, as a greeting that also expresses something that is believed in, it should be possible to make this remark. It is however to be seen in the light of the context of what is to be achieved. When this remark is made in order to denigrate Muslims or Islam or push anti Islam sentiments it is wrong and it deserves action including a ban.
The problem in the Dutch Wikipedia is an increasing amount of POV pushing, this POV is obviously seen as necessary by the pusher. However "what is good for the goose is good for the gander", both sides of the spectrum are increasingly intolerant, vocal and drastic in their actions. When Wikipedia is to be a civil place, it is necessary to act against this pushiness never mind what side of an argument is being pushed. It is necessary to be even handed never mind who transgresses.
Thanks, GerardM
