Geert Wilders is a far Right MP in the Netherland’s States Generals (Dutch version of the English Parliament). Wilders seems to have a following among the Dutch which are tired of foreign incursion of other nationalities (particularly of the Islamic persuasion) in the Netherlands. Wilders leads the Freedom Party (PVV) which only holds 9 seats in the States Generals; however polls show that if elections were soon that number may double. It is an indication of the typically very Leftist Dutch people becoming fed up with the Mohammedan violence ever growing in their small nation.

With that little update on Wilders, here is the controversy he is stirring up in the Netherlands. Wilders has put together a short film entitled Fitna, which is a play on words from the Arabic language used to be critical of the Mohammedan holy book known as the Quran.

    The film's title means 'trial' or 'tribulation' in Arabic. The word, which originally meant 'sledgehammer', refers to the struggle within the faith for the essence of Islam. (Expatica.com)


The States Generals is doing its political best to keep Fitna off of Dutch television because of the dhimmi attitude (probably a certainty) that the significant Mohammedan minority in The Netherlands will erupt into typical Religion of Peace mode and use criticism of their faith as an excuse to go on a violent rampage.

So the issue is – or maybe a better choice of words – the choice of The Netherlands Government is to either bow down in dhimmitude to the global and local demands of Mohammedans or respect the Western Heritage of Freedom of Speech even if it causes a Jihadist rampage.

Is the Netherlands and by proxy the European Union entering the dhimmi zone of appeasement minded squeamishness or will a back bone of heroism stand up to overcome the Mohammedan cultural invasion.

Charles “The Hammer” Martel we need you back in Europe!

Dutch want Koran film shown but fear reactions: poll

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A majority of Dutch people want an anti-Koran film made by a politician to be broadcast even though they fear it will stoke tension with Muslims and harm relations with Arab countries, a poll showed on Wednesday.

A newspaper reported on Monday that the Dutch government is looking into whether it could ban the film by right-wing lawmaker Geert Wilders, who has likened the Koran to Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf, but given few details about his movie.

He has also called the Koran a "fascist" book that incites violence and said it should be banned.

The poll by TNS NIPO for RTL television showed that 54 percent thought the film should be broadcast although 76 percent expected it to increase tensions between Muslims and non-Muslims and 74 percent saw worsening relations with Arab nations.

The survey of 600 people conducted on February 29 showed that 68 percent expected a boycott like that seen against Denmark after cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed appeared in a Danish newspaper.

Around 5,000 Afghans protested on Wednesday about the reprinting of the cartoons and Wilders' plan for the Koran film. Pakistan's foreign ministry accused the Dutch politician of "propagating the politics of hate and promoting xenophobia".

Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende said last week the country risked economic sanctions and attacks on its troops in Afghanistan because of the film.

Wilders is calling the film "Fitna", an Arabic term used in the Koran and sometimes translated as "strife". The Web site where he plans to post the film (www.fitnathemovie.com) went live on Wednesday, showing a picture of the cover of the Koran.

In 2004 the Netherlands -- home to almost 1 million Muslims or 6 percent of the population -- was plunged into turmoil when an Islamic militant killed director Theo Van Gogh over a film he made accusing Islam of condoning violence against women.
