Van Doorn later started looking into Islam to get back at critics who had slammed the film, but was inspired by Islam's message and professed his faith shortly afterwards.
Having performed the Hajj pilgrimage, the repentant Dutch politician distanced himself from the Dutch far-right and expressed his regret over his role in distributing the movie, vowing to now work on a new film presenting the Prophet Muhammad in his true light.

In Fall 2017, Arthur Wagner's political party, the anti-Islam, anti-immigrant Alternative für Deutschland, entered the Bundestag, becoming the first far-right party in the body since the 1950s.
Wagner, a leading AfD member in the eastern German state of Brandenburg, resigned his position on the party's national executive committee on Jan. 11, 2018 for personal reasons, AfD spokesman Daniel Friese said.
Before joining the anti-Islam, anti-immigration party, he was a member of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats (CDU).
Wagner refused to answer questions from the German daily newspaper Tagesspiegel, who first reported his conversion to the Islamic faith.
"That's my private business," he told the newspaper. But he said there had been no attempt by the party to force him to resign.
The AfD entered Germany's national parliament, the Bundestag, for the first time following September's national election — becoming the third largest party. It argued that the country was under threat of "Islamization" and demanded stricter border controls to stem the number of newcomers arriving from war-torn and poverty-stricken countries in Africa and the Middle East.

Maxence Buttey, 22, a Front National local councillor has embarrassed France's far-Right party by announcing his recent conversion to Islam – and urging fellow members to join him. Buttey offended officials of the anti-immigration party by sending them a video in which he praised the "visionary" virtues of the Koran and urged them to become Muslims.
"Some of my voters will be disappointed by my choice," Mr Buttey admitted. "But I'm ready to explain to them that Islam has a mission to unite all men and women."
As a scientist Doctor Maurice Bucaille, who worked as chief of the Surgical Clinic, University of Paris, did not believed that religion and science are compatible. However, after a decade-long study, Dr. Bucaille addressed the French Academy of Medicine in 1976 concerning the existence in the Qur’an of certain statements on physiology and reproduction. He reasoned that:
"...our knowledge of these disciplines is such, that it is impossible to explain how a text produced at the time of the Qur’an could have contained ideas that have only been discovered in modern times…"That year, Maurice Bucaille published La Bible, le Coran et la science. The book proved to be enormously popular and has been translated into several languages . In his own words:
I have studied the Book very carefully and have not come across one single instance of scientific fallacy any where in it. On the contrary, I have felt that the truths and realities inherent in Quranic Text have been, throughout the history of 1400 years, beyond the comprehension of ordinary human beings which in itself, is positive proof that the Quran is the Word of God and it is beyond intellectual potential of mortal man; be he an excellent scholar or philosopher of the highest caliber, who is not always able to explain the inherent realities of nature as revealed in the Quran.
