Wilders has launched the website where people will be able to view his anti-Koran film 'Fitna'. Editor Natasha Gunn sifts through some press, political and public opinion on the matter.
Update: Wilders' has launched a website where shortly his movie Fitna - Arabic for 'the 'tribulation' or 'trial' - can be viewed. Not a single Dutch TV channel wants to broadcast the film in its entirety.
The most controversial news topic of the moment is Wilders’ anti-Koran film and the consequences of its release this month – that is if the Dutch government does not put a stop to it – an avenue which the government prosecutor is currently investigating.
Wilders’ has expressed surprise and anger at the lack of support he has received from his colleagues in The Hague and at Prime Minister Balkenende’s “passive stance” when Al Qaeda called for a jihad against him last week. He says that the only support he received was a text message from Rita Verdonk wishing him strength.
Foreign Affairs Minister Maxime Verhagen has clearly voiced his concerns to Wilders over what the film could unleash. He pointed to demonstrations – such as the protests in Afghanistan Sunday (2 March) against the film along with the Danish Muhammad cartoons first published in 2005, possible attacks on embassies, and damage to Dutch institutions and businesses abroad. The Taliban has also threatened to step up attacks against Dutch soldiers in Afghanistan if Geert Wilders releases his film.
This is pretty much how Hitler started his revolution to do whatever it takes. At his time there were Jews, not to many Muslims around. Now, it is Muslims turn. Whatever happened to Christ’s (JESUS) message that should one slap you on one cheek turned the other one over too.
As I see it, Wilders likes to take attention. Those who applauded him play right into his hand. No person with even half decency will try what he is doing. Wilders is writing a conflict that has not yet started. All I hope is that what happened in WWII namely to Jews does not happen to Muslims.
As for thinking Muslims are bad just because there are some terrorists, what about Hitler he was Christian. Both of the last two World Wars have been started by Christian people, if I may say so. Fanatics often belong to some religious or creed where playing with people’s emotions is so easy. What about slavery which can be sighted with almost every black African American. It was not done by anyone but all by Christian countries. Whatever happened to Native Americans and Australians! They are endangered species now thanks Christian governments.
With time people often forget. But history is there for those who seek it. In our present time, Al-Qaeda was founded and thought by CIA. CIA invited Osama Bin Laden to Afghanistan whereas Sadam Hussain was also a member of CIA. These facts are public just goggle it. Muslims religion has been hijacked by same people who now claim that it is intolerant. For the names I quoted above, they are just like Mr. Wilders stopping at nothing for their own personal agenda. None of them stand for even an iota of peace.
For those interested to know what is Islam (Muslims), read history and you will know it. During Muslim era in Palestine and Israel, all Churches, Synagogues and Temples were protected as they stand witness to this age. All religious groups practiced freely as their work stands witness to this age. See India after and before Muslim rule and you will see the truth. I encourage to you to read about Muslim Spain before and after. What Muslim rule does not allow is to harm anyone or any group. You don’t see any Muslim tarnishing Jesus Christ’s image, or an image of any other Religion or Creed. For Islam stands for freedom of speech as long as it does not violate or hurt other peoples feelings.
