Turkish hackers have put an edited picture of the controversial Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders on hundreds of websites, which depicts him as a monkey.

The move to hack the Dutch websites was spearheaded by a Turkish hacker code named as "aLpTurkTegin", Turkey's Yenisafak newspaper reported.

The move was aimed at staging a cyber-protest against the lawmaker who is known for his anti-Islamic stance.

Wilders sparked outrage after he made the film Fitna that was considered to be sacrilegious by Muslims.

He has recently announced his plans to make another film against Islam.

The right-wing anti-immigrant lawmaker declared in April that he is working on a sequel about the "Islamization in the West."

Over the past week, more than 140 Dutch websites have been hacked in order to put comments or pictures against Wilders.
