"Fitna" is coming as Europe prepares for round two of Islamic protests

Outspoken right-wing Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders has created a 15 minute movie called "Fitna" which links the Koran to terror and is set to be released any day now.

Outspoken right-wing Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders said he made the movie to support his contention that the Koran -- which Muslims revere as the revealed word of Allah to the prophet Mohammed -- inspires "intolerance, murder and terror."

He hopes to find a television network willing to broadcast the 15-minute documentary, entitled "Fitna" ("strife" in Arabic), but also plans to post it on the Internet. He has set up a The movie will be carried on this Web site for this purpose, which currently carries only an image of the Koran alongside the text, "Geert Wilders presents Fitna. Coming Soon."

The movie will be carried on this Web site and as we’ve seen from this past weekend this promises to be repeat of the violent protests and threats in both Europe and Arab countries and cities around the Middle East.

The Taliban has said the cartoon and Koran film part of "Crusader War:" which has prompted the Dutch to raise their terror alert:

The Wilders film has caused uproar in Muslim countries, some of whom have called for an economic boycott of the Netherlands if the film is shown. Iran, Egypt and Pakistan all voiced criticism about the film.

In Afghanistan hundreds of protesters took to the streets Wednesday to protest the film, whilst the Taliban has already vowed revenge against the 1,600 Dutch soldiers stationed in the country if the movie is shown.

The following is a two part series in with Geert Wilders speaks about the movie and Muslim immigration, tolerance and democracy.






I do have a problem with Mr. Wilders attempt to use freedom of speech to argue his case . he's being a bit hypocritical as he is on record for seeking to ban the Koran from his country! Mr. Wilders freedom works both ways!!!

Like controversial films on religion here in the U.S. prompts critics to bash and protest these works before even seeing them and the same is happening all over the Muslim world today. Again I have to reiterate what Mr. Wilders has said it's the very act of speaking your mind and thoughts about a subject without censorship or threats of violence that makes one free... I find it telling that, like the cartoon incident, the first reaction from some Muslim community leaders is to call for violence or even death.

Very telling indeed...
