The Dutch Muslim Party (NMP) no longer exists. Board members Henny Kreeft and Jacques Visker have resigned, and dissolved the party.
The two men say that the Netherlands is not ready for a Muslim political party in parliament. The two say the Dutch Muslim community is too politically divided.
The NMP was founded in 2007 but has not been successful. In local elections in 2010, the NMP garnered no municipal seats. The party had planned to participate in the upcoming parliamentary elections, but was unable to organize to do so.
The NMPs stated purpose was to decrease the gap between Muslims and non-Muslims and to improve the image of Islam in the Netherlands. Remarkably, co-founder Henny Kreeft was a supporter of Pim Fortuyn, who was murdered in 2002. Kreeft converted to Islam in the 1990s.

"We are not going to pay the balance on others' accounts, we are not going to serve as pocket money in anyone's currency exchange, we are not going to allow ourselves to become entangled in political spheres of interest. Why should it be held against our peoples that they want to be completely independent? And why should autonomy be restricted, or the subject of dispute? We will not be dependent on anyone ever again!
