Fitna the Movie by Geert Wilders
March 28th, 2008Geert Wilders is a political leader of Dutch conservative Party for Freedom (PVV aka Partij voor de Vrijheid in Dutch) and a self proclaimed critic of Islam as well as defender of free speech.
On March 27, 2008 Geert Wilders released the movie called Fitna which offers very critical view on the Koran (Qur’an) and Islam. Fitna is an Arabic word and even though very difficult to describe, in general it means disagreement and division, or test of faith among people.
Fitna the Movie quotes Islamic book Qur’an showing several of its Suras. Disturbing images of atrocities inspired by the Qur’an verses are shown, including beheading, execution, suicide bombing as well as short clips of Islamic leaders calling the “believers” to slaughter all non believers are shown throughout the movie.
The movie also features a n upsetting clip in which a 3 years old Muslim girl Basmallah is asked a few questions and uses such names as “apes and pigs” to address Jews.
Later in the movie a Muslim is heard to say that Muslims have ruled the world before and that they will rule America, UK, Europe and entire world once more.
Being filmed by a Dutch man, Fitna the Movie’s final sequences show headlines from Dutch newspapers related to Islam in Holland. A postcard form Netherlands is shown with a picture of Islamic Mosque in the middle.
The 15 minutes long Fitna the Movie end with an a sequence in which a hand appears to tear off the page of the Qur’an (the tearing is not show, only the sound is heard and the caption explains that the sound is in fact a recording of a page being torn off a telephone book).
