Fitna has arrived; Update: “Restraint?” We’ll see; Plus: A case of mistaken identity

Scroll down for updates…

Readers are sending the Liveleak English version of Geert Wilders’ Fitna, which has just been posted. (Be patient, may be a little slow to load.) It’s 15 minutes with scenes of jihad interlaced with quotes from the Koran. We are reminded of 9/11, Madrid, the murder of Theo van Gogh, and the threats to Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s life.

The film ends not with any blasphemous image of Mohammed, but with an image of a hand about to tear out the murderous verses of the Koran and a sound effect of tearing (with a caption explaining that the sound was actually the sound of a page being torn from a phonebook).

Prepare for more March Madness. I don’t know what “solidarity” is in Dutch, but show it by embedding the video, e-mailing it, and writing about it. Their fight for the right to criticize the Religion of Perpetual Outrage is our fight.

Update: Liveleak speaks!

Update: Some have been able to upload “Fitna” to YouTube; it’s been yanked in some places, hidden behind the 18-or-older wall in others.

Update: There is supposedly “restraint” and anger following the release of “Fitna.” We’ll see how “restrained” the Religion of Perpetual Outrage is after the mosques let out tomorrow:

In a short statement delivered both in Dutch and in English, Mr Balkende said the Government “regrets” that Wilders released his 17-minute movie on the internet, as he had been vowing to do.

“We believe it serves no purpose other than to offend,” he said.

“But feeling offended must never be used as an excuse for aggression and threats.”

The Prime Minister said the Government felt heartened “by the initial restrained reaction by Dutch Muslim organisations”.

In initial reactions, those organisations seemed relieved that Wilders’ film – which mixed violent images of terror attacks with Koranic texts – were not as bad as expected.

Update: D’oh.

#75 “freedom go to hell”
That is the first time I saw that sign. I also got really pissed at the comments against democracy. This must be a pretty powerful movie because I don’t see any of the usual bullsh** from lgm

I was thinking precisely the same thing! Maybe he/she is warming up for some personal jihad action.

Come to think of it, has anyone seen lgm and Islamic Rage Boy in the same room (or effigy burning) at the same time?

Hmmmm…….

Wow. The photo mixup is sloppy, but there’s definitely a striking similarity between the two poses. Most unfortunate.

“The Danish Union of Journalists says it will sue Geert Wilders for copyright infringement for using a Danish cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad in his anti-Quran film. The union says it will file a lawsuit on behalf of Kurt Westergaard, the cartoonist who made the controversial drawing depicting Islam’s prophet wearing a turban shaped like a bomb.”

Does Westergaard know and approve of this action? They should be encouraging Wilders, not suing!

As Geert Wilders is a politician, do they have such a thing as ‘parliamentary privilege’ over there – meaning he can’t be sued if he is acting in his political capacity in releasing the film?

Everyone should watch this movie, especially George W. Bush, who still calls Islam a “great religion.”

As this posted has existed here for more than a day, few will read why I posted Fitna on 911familiesforamerica.org.

Some things you struggle with…

And once again freedom bows out to threats of violence, which only encourages the muslim scum to do it more.

To everyone out there and myself, I feel we are the modern day Winston Churchills warning the world of the perils of this evil. Unfortunately the world ignored the evils of Hitler until it was too late. Be damned if we ignore this hateful murderous warning from these heathen muslims.

GO Mr. Wilders! Great job! Short and to the point, very powerful! I want my Fitna DVD too! Behold the multitudes of crawling and cowering Dhimmis.

It will be interesting to see how many of them will watch this. Eventually, most probably will. SPREAD THE WORD to the world everyone!

All real freedom starts with freedom of speech. If there is no freedom of speech, there can be no real freedom.

The Christians and Jews don’t riot when somebody makes fun of Christ or Jews. People must learn to be civilized. Rioting MUST not be tolerated.

That’ll be great if there’s no rioting, how very mature that would be. Geert Wilders is a hero telling the painful truth. Definitely show it in Denmark ASAP.
