Fitna the Movie from Geert Wilders (& boycott Network Solutions!)
March 28, 2008
Part 1
Part 2
Geert Wilders’ film about Islamic Radicalism and the spread of Islam in Europe and America (above) has caused a bit of a stir across the globe.
Network Solutions has pulled the filmmakers web site.
If you go there you’ll find this message:

What a joke. Wilders, who is a member of the Dutch Parliament and a fierce Nationalist, wrote a commentary in a Dutch newspaper on Saturday, defending his movie.
The film is not so much about Muslims as about the Koran and Islam. The Islamic ideology has as its utmost goal the destruction of what is most dear to us, our freedom.
he wrote in De Volkskrant.
Network Solutions said the film may have crossed the lines by violating some of the following:
material that is obscene, defamatory, libelous, unlawful, harassing, abusive… hate propaganda” and “profane, indecent or otherwise objectionable material of any kind or nature
So far, at least, Google hasn’t pulled videos from YouTube, so the move by Network Solutions is a moot point. Perhaps the web hosting company thought they might become subject to the same sort of violence you see in the film….
I personally will never use Network Solutions to host or register any domain ever again, and I urge all of you who are against censorship to do the same.
NPR interviewed Christiaan Mark Johan Kroner, the long-named, long-winded ambassador from the Netherlands to the United States, who said something along the lines (I don’t have the transcript) of:
You have the right to free speech, and you have the right to a Religion, but you don’t have the right to insult people.
He’s going after Wilders’ film with gusto, as are many other Dutch appeasers. So you don’t have the right to insult people, but you have the right to free speech?
Well, I’ll exercise my right to both: You’re an idiot, Mr. Kroner. Plain and simple. You should shut your stupid mouth…but you don’t have to, because you have the right to free speech. And you can offer up a retort, because you have a right to insult people, too.
What you don’t have a right to do, is kill people and try to take over the world, which is all that Mr. Wilders was saying in his little film.
The apologists continue to rant against Fitna, stating ironically that Islam is not equated with violence, and that this is a racist assertion. Of course, they also closed off the area around Parliament for fear of…well…violence from Muslims.

Got something to say?
Why blame Islam?
Individuals, not religions, carry out inhuman acts.
Islam is a religion of peace, accepted and practiced by more than 1.25 billion people worldwide. It is the fastest-growing religion in the world, and if it was what some critics claim, why should the people from all walks of life from around the world keep embracing Islam? Where is the sword now?
In Islam, a person has the right to defend himself, his family, his country or his neighbor(s), which justifies the resistance being offered by the people of Afghanistan, Bosnia, Chechnya, Iraq, Kashmir and Palestine, to attacks on their soils by the so-called liberators, who are actually the occupiers.
The Holy Qur’an clearly states that if a person saves one life, it’s as if he saved humanity, and if a person kills one human being, it’s as if he killed humanity.
What is happening in the enslaved Muslim countries is a natural reaction to occupation, bombings, killing and terrorizing of innocent civilians (children, old men and women), rapes, in addition to looting of resources, national antiques and artifacts, above all destruction of property by the occupiers.
Terror breeds terror.
We assure those who bash Islam that if there was no occupation in this world by foreign invaders, there would be no resistance – the so-called terror.
We would like those who criticize Islam to explain the following acts committed by the Christians on Jews, other Christians and Muslims alike, throughout history:
- Hundreds of thousands of Muslim men, women and children killed by the crusaders, who were Christians.
- Inquisition of Jews and Muslims from Spain by Queen Isabella, a Christian.
- Millions of people killed by the European and American Christians during the two world wars.
- Atrocities committed on millions of Jews and Christians by Adolph Hitler, a professed Christian.
- Hundreds of thousands of Christians killed every year by the Irish Christians, including the British and the IRA, both Catholics and Protestants, during the past few centuries. Why are they not blamed to be “Christian Terrorists?”
Both of them believe in Jesus Christ, who told them to turn the other cheek, and both of them believe in the same Lord, Who commanded that “Thou shall not kill.” Period.
- Timothy McVeigh, who bombed the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, was a Catholic. Are all Catholics terrorists?
Last but not least, the bombings, killings, rapings and lynchings of both American Indians and black slaves (Afro-Americans) during the past 200 years in the United States.
What about them?
Will those filled with hate for Islam blame Christianity for the above inhuman acts by Christians in various parts of the world since its inception?
If not, then why are they blaming the religion of Islam for what is a natural reaction to occupation of Muslim countries by foreign invaders?
Most importantly, these folks should know that the three great Abrahamic religions – Judaism, Christianity and Islam – have one common basis, and that is one God Almighty.
“All men (and women) are created equal, and we all are one nation under Almighty God,” is a statement according to the Holy Qur’an and is very well elucidated in the U.S. Constitution.
Lastly, yet importantly, as brothers in humanity, we recommend those filled with hate get an education in the history of Islam and Muslims, before they dare to write nasty letters full of personal, ingrain hate and vendetta.
We would be pleased to provide anyone with free copies of the Holy Qur’an and Islamic literature in English, which would help them to understand the truth about Islam and Muslims and get rid of hate from their systems, God willing.
May God Almighty show you the light, Amen.
Look, the “cut & paste” spammers are out in force! They’re probably tracking down every site out there that published “Fitna.”
Besides, this entire tirade is based on fallacy:
“Will those filled with hate for Islam blame Christianity for the above inhuman acts by Christians in various parts of the world since its inception?”
After listing a dozen or so atrocities committed by Christians, we’re suddenly supposed to believe that it’s the same as Islam? Are you saying that modern Islam is akin to Medieval and Colonial Christianity? So, it’s behind the times, in a sort of Dark Age all its own?
Absolutely!
Good for you for posting Fitna and for nailing that cut and paster. I’ve reached my limit with Islam and Islamists. No more discussions. I’ll just delete them. Actions speak louder than words and by their actions they have condemned themselves beyond redemption. We are at war and Islam is the ememy — not some Muslims, not some terrorists, but Islam. The time for debate is long past, they have killed it with their bloody actions. We must now concentrate on ridding the West of this parasitic evil prescence in our midst. We must stamp it out and kill it. It is nothing less than a plague and must be treated as such. How can anyone support or defend a plague? You can’t defeat a plague by talking about it; you must eradicate it.
Thank you, Roger.
