“We didn’t hear him on other holidays!” – The Daily Standard

Imam Grapperhaus wishes Muslims a happy Ramadan.
We did not hear him at Easter and Christmas. #Ramadan. A period to think carefully about how we can get the Islamic ideology of discrimination, lack of freedom and violence out of our country as quickly as possible. https://t.co/rfNm2gFIyj

Apart from the usual PVV rhetoric, Wilders was completely wrong this time.

Grapperhaus has indeed expressed its best wishes during other holidays. On Twitter, the PVV leader rightly received a wipe from the CDA minister:

For Wilders, however, it makes little difference whether he made a mistake or not. His point has been made once again. With his rash actions, the PVV leader once again shows why hardly any party wants to work with him. In recent months, the party had emerged as a substantive, critical party regarding the corona crisis. But unfortunately the party is accrued credit is lost again when Wilders started to complain about the suspension of the curfew because of Ramadan.

The Netherlands now really knows that the PVV is very anti-Islam, so these kinds of social media reports are absolutely not going to help the party. And certainly not if they are completely unfounded. Wilders could have criticized better the content of the message from Grapperhaus. Because also wish Christians and Jews happy holidays? That is what the so-called minister of worship does.
