Wilderss anti-Islam Film "Fitna" Published
Source; Al Manar TV, 28-03-2008
"Kurt Westergaard, Rod Parsley, Wolfgang Schauble and Geert Wilders", a list of anti-Islam names under the pretext of 'freedom of expression'. Dutch right-wing populist Geert Wilders has published his video critical of the Koran on the Internet despite criticisms and speculations.
15-minute film, "Fitna,'' Arabic for "sedition," features verses from the Koran alongside images of the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York in 2001 and on Madrid train bombing in 2004. The film, released on the Internet on Thursday, begins with an image that every Muslim in the world and many others are likely to recognize right away: the controversial caricature of Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) wearing a bomb as a turban. It also ends with the cartoon, originally published in Danish newspapers, accompanied by the sound of ticking.
"I, of course, want the right to criticize all religions, and I also defend Geert Wilders' right to make and show his film,'' Westergaard said defending his peer who borrowed the cartoon caricature of Prophet Mohammad from him and used it in the opening of his pamphlet.
Denmark in 2006 was the target of protests across much of the Muslim world after the country's biggest newspaper, Jyllands-Posten, published 12 cartoons satirizing Islam. Foreign Minister Per Stig Moeller called the ensuing wave of consumer boycotts and riots the worst foreign policy crisis Denmark had experienced since World War II.
The film shows statistics of the growing Muslim population in the Netherlands. It ends with someone leafing through the Koran, and a tearing sound is heard.
"The sound you heard was from a page (being torn out) of the phone book. It is not up to me, but up to the Muslims themselves to tear the spiteful verses from the Koran," says a text that appears on the screen.
"Stop Islamisation, Defend our freedom," the film concludes.
Not to agree with the teachings of Islam, with the Prophet of Islam, with the holy book of Islam is something; not to understand Islam and depend on Zionist controlled media outlets in the west to illustrate this religion of 1.4 billion people is another thing that can be addressed through mutual approach of civilizations, something that tolerant Islam calls for; but insulting The Almighty, as Wilders did in his film when he said that "Allah is happy when non-Muslims are killed", insulting the Koran and the Prophet along with hundreds of millions of his followers is unquestionably far from anything near freedom of expression because "My freedom ends where yours begins and your freedom ends where mine begins."
