I'll start off with a note;
I will NOT link you the movie, you'll have to find it yourself. Yes it contains extremely "disturbing" images which really shouldn't be watched by minors. This is by no means a laugh or anything related to that. This is a serious issue...
I'm not intending to insult anyone, no religion, no person, this is a discussion
Warning!
This debate contains subjects which are extremely fragile for some people. Lets keep it mature and flame-free.
Now we got that out of the way;
If you don't know about Geert Wilders you can read up on him here
The English topic about fitna on wikipedia: clicky
Fitna (Dutch: Beproeving, English: Testing, Trial (not sure if it's the 100% accurate translation, it's what I could make up of it with my English knowledge))
Fitna is a "movie" made by Geert Wilders, a Dutch politician. In the movie he is showing passages from the Qur'an and parts from video's containing terrorist attacks, the 9-11 attack, the attack in England, a bus bomb and even the decapacitation of a USA (he was from the USA, right? it's been a long time ago since I last heard about it) soldier.
Fitna is the movie from Geert Wilders, where he is showing his ideas, his propaganda about Muslims. It came out on march 27, getting millions of views in a matter of hours. I for one watched the video today. This video is provoking, harassment and even on the thin line of racism. He is currently threatening the safety of the Netherlands and still the Dutch government have decided that there's nothing that they could do to stop him. Currently this video is going around all over the internet, and people, even children, are able to watch it with great ease.
Now I ask you, should the movie be banned and maybe even further. Should Geert Wilders be kicked out of the parlement because he's threatening the safety of Holland?
I'll get going with my opinion;
I think that it should be banned. The images shown are awful and it could potentionally harm children who watch it (I could write this and say that I'm 44, you can't tell if I'm lying or not). What he is doing is just provoking the muslim society and trying to gain followers among the Dutch population. He has stated that he does not intend to insult any Muslim people but that he is only "criticising" (spelling? now I really want to know how to spell that) the Qur'an. But isn't he indirectly insulting, yes insulting, the Muslim population by insulting their religion, which is something that they hold on to tightly? I don't believe in anything, and I have friends from all over the world, including Muslims. I can't figure out why this "can't" be banned. They say it's due to his right of freedom of speech, but as we all know, racism + freedom of speech = collision. I think he pushed the limit now and that he should be kicked out of the parlement, ban his movie and as my father says "put him on some distant island where he can't harm anyone".
