Western Powers, Submit to the will of Islam

Another right-on take on the effect of Fitna on the world. My favorite quote from this piece:

"Release of Fitna is causing panic in Dutch political circles. Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende says Wilders’ movie “threatens the nation.”

Wrong.

It is Islamic violence which threatens Holland and all of Europe."

Western Powers, Submit to the will of Islam

Fitna the movie defeating Islamic censorship
By OnTheWeb: Andrew Walden Sunday, March 30, 2008

Nothing makes people want to see something more than banning it, or even better yet, telling them they may not be able to handle it (remember the Blair Witch Project?). On that basis, the new film Fitna, must be pulling in internet viewers by the tens of millions.
Everyone who’s anyone in the “world community”, from the Dutch Prime Minister to the OIC to the EU to the UN, is telling the world this is mighty hateful stuff.

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is denouncing the internet premier of Fitna, claiming,

“The right of free expression is not at stake here,”

But Ban seems to imply there may be limits,

“...there is no justification for hate speech or incitement to violence.”

Oddly he was talking about the movie, not the Islamic violence portrayed in it, or that which is feared in response to it. In doing so, Ban places the UN at the head of the Islamic mobs which do indeed put the right of free expression at stake here.

Fitna, Arabic for “strife” or “disturbance”, is the work of filmmaker and Dutch Member of Parliament Geert Wilders. Wilders point is clear: Islamist terror is neither a distortion nor a departure from Koranic teaching. Terrorists are following the instructions of the Koran to the letter.
