Good for them. The nerve to use that concert for his religious belief. There's a place for that and this was not it.

What language is he using?
Is he Dutch or from a more predominantly Muslim area? The title above the video frame is written in Arabic or some other Middle Eastern language.

A very quick Google search for this incident turns up dozens of articles, most very brief and none (within the first three pages of hits I got) appearing in a major news source. The orchestra is never named and there is no unanimity on whether the man was the conductor of the orchestra, the guest conductor of the concert or an intruder who came up on the stage only to deliver his lecture/invitation to the queen.
One version of the event says the orchestra left the stage on instructions from security personnel who feared the incident might have been a prelude to a terrorist bombing. According to that version, the concert resumed after the building had been swept for explosives and found to be safe.
FWIW, Queen Beatrix abdicated the Dutch throne in favor of her son in April 2013.

This man wasn't the conductor. He was just some random guy who walked on stage and grabbed the microphone.

You would think someone might do a modicum of research before posting something to confirm a bias.

Thank you Mark, well stated. Goes to the heart of that old saying that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.

If you spend time on the Internet these days you know that there is as much misinformation as factual information. It's always been that way in the Media, we just get more of it today....and faster.

Let's not shield our eyes from what ACTUALLY happened because we have our own biases about how unfairly or inaccurately it was portrayed. Regardless of your opinion on the media coverage of Islam in the west, this is a remarkable event for many reasons.
