(CNN) — A Web site promoting a Dutch lawmaker’s film critical of Islam has been suspended by its host company after the firm received unspecified complaints about its content, the company disclosed Sunday.

“This site has been suspended while Network Solutions is investigating whether the site’s content is in violation of the Network Solutions Acceptable Use Policy,” the company said in a posting on the Web site set up to promote the film. “Network Solutions has received a number of complaints regarding this site that are under investigation.”

This month, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the FBI warned that the release of Geert Wilder’s film, “Fitna,” could spark protests and riots. Wilders, a member of the Dutch parliament from the conservative Party for Freedom, has been outspoken in his criticism of Islam and his support of immigration restrictions.

The company did not immediately respond to a request for further comment.
