Yet another example of the reasonableness of Islam. again as reported in Patriot Post:
When Dutch politician-turned-filmmaker Geert Wilders finally unveiled his 15-minute anti-Islamic film “Fitna” (Arabic for “strife”) last week, it was condemned by the EU and UN as “offensively anti-Islamic” and sparked protests, most notably in predominately Muslim Indonesia. Shocking, we know.
In the film, Wilder denounces the Koran as “fascist” and as the root of violence against non-Muslims. However, free-speech advocates apparently expected more from the film and found it instead to be merely a poor concoction of stock footage of terrorist attacks along with excerpts of the Koran. Aside from calling for Wilders’ death for insulting Islam, the most extreme activity by protesters in Indonesia was a broken gate and lowered flag at the Dutch consulate (oh, and the government is working to block YouTube for the posting). Such reactions are a far cry from the violence that followed the Danish publication of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed, leading one to believe that the film did not make its point clearly enough.
Still, the Dutch prime minister distanced himself from Wilder, saying, “The vast majority of Muslims reject extremism and violence. In fact, the victims are often also Muslims.” So… the victims of Muslim extremism are Muslims? No word yet on whether Indonesian protesters are also calling for the Prime Ministers’ death.
