Rotterdam rapper Mosheb has been given 80 hours community service and a two month suspended jail term for threatening anti-Islam MP Geert Wilders in a rap.
The public prosecution department had called for 120 hours community service or 60 days in jail.
The text of the number, entitled Who's next, includes the rapper saying it will be 'bam bam' if he meets Wilders. The rapper also calls on Wilders to take back his words if he wants to stay alive and says 'this is no joke. Last night I dreamed I chopped your head off.'
The public prosecution department said the threat could reasonably lead to Wilders fearing for his life or that he would be subjected to violence.
According to news agency ANP, the court agreed with this conclusion and said the rap was threatening. 'A politician must be able to do his work,' the judges said.
Of the 424 incidents of threats against politicians made last year, 292 were directed at Wilders.
