    its bad really bad

    well.. i'vent seen the movie or whatever it is ,, from what I've known about it when i read the summary ....all i want to say to the director " go read history so well before doing such a thing called a documentary movie showing Islam far away from its real thing.. " ..well i agree that some Muslim terrorism organizations have done some terrorism attacks and so on , however far away from those kind of people who care about killing innocent people ( those ppl are criminals , and its against Islam order ) ..Islam is not a religion that teaches people how to terrify ppl and slaughter them or blow them up,... Islam is something far far far away from that ,,its not written in the Koran or have been told by Muhammad the prophet to kill ppl who r not Muslims,.,all i want to say that those people who are calling themselves defending the Islam they r doing nothing but making the Islamic people shaped so bad,Islam is the religion of etiquette , and how to treat with people so good...and its not an old belief thing,,Islam is founded on earth once Adam was created by god,,,well i wont talk about historical things and history of Islam here of course , cause u can found it everywhere on the net n in the libraries and many other places ,,,but the makers of this documentary movies don't read at all , and by the way since Muhammad the prophet , Muslims don't consider any ppl enemies until they consider them enemies ..whatever ,,, ... and yea am a Muzlim and am proud because am born a Muzlim ,,, and i respect ppl in other countries , .., respect there cultures and respect them in the good things of course,,,, and respect other ppl who r not Muslims ,cause Islam ordered Muslims to respect others no matter what they believe in or worship.. just telling people to go read before taking a bad view about this thing farewell

    Please watch this video response to "Fitna"; Hope it make things more clear please just remove the spaces so as to be able to embed it http:// www.youtube.com/ watch?v= oA97Kx 0hfZ8& watch_ respon se&loc ale=en _US&persis t_locale=1 If you were not able to embed it just open video Fitna at You Tube and watch the response; it is about 9 min; 37 sec

    If you want to judge something; c both sides ... else you have to know you were not listening to find the truth but just to be lead by a person who believe "You are just a follower"!!!

    It's to clarify some misconceptions, people have towards Islam … open your eyes, your heart and your brains and don't let only one of them drive your judgment. And seek the TRUTH not what SEEMS to be like it. Be fair and logical! It's a matter of Heaven or Hell….. Think … it deserves !!!

    Aimed Poorly

    I suppose there are all sorts of reasons to make a film.

    Usually when it is a documentary, as this purports to be, there is an expected nominal bit of exploration of the unknown, sometimes educational. I expected this value because I know the Koran to be so vulnerable. Its questionable origin has been taken to pieces in "Religion Ruins Everything," a recent book.

    But this film makes another choice. Its made not for the western viewer who really is curious, but the very Islamist it condemns. Its intended to offend, and the viewer is merely tricked into collaborating. I think I would willingly participate in a much rougher film should someone choose to make one.

    But this approach — to offend for the sake of making offense in front of us — is something I refuse to participate in.

    When Will you people ever wake up?

    When Will you people ever wake up? When will you start thinking out of the matrix that Satan and his agents (bankers, freemasons and Zionists) had built for you. Every now and then these agents come up with a new play to stir up the west against Islam and the same method is used again and again, taking holly verses out of context and bringing to the scene some ignorant Muslims wrong practices to prove their point of view. This scheme has started to take shape after 9/11 and the sad thing is that a lot of people still think of 9/11 as an Islamist extremist terrorist attack on freedom while it is clear now that 9/11 was an inside job used later as a pretext for police state, and to launch a "war on terror" having as objectives oil, weakening of Islamic countries, and keeping Israel the ultimate power in the middle east, and most of all fighting Islam which is becoming a big concern for these guys new order plan (the three monotheistic religions Islam, Christianity and Judaism should be weakened or even abolished if possible) they represent big problem for this evil plan. By the way, al-Qaeda, the reason for so called "war on terror" is a CIA creation, and the vast majority of Muslims think of it's members as deviated from true Islam.(are you starting to get it?) The cartoons of the profit and numerous movies and writings are pushing the west to clash with Islam which is spreading more and more especially in Europe. Please people, start thinking for yourselves far from the influence of the media lies. Read the Quran, make your own judgments, and pray to God for guidance sincerely. Allah invites Muslims to live in peace with all other religions and all verses dealing with jihad and fighting are about defending religion and land from attackers, as in Irak for instance (more than 1000000 victims since USA invasion, and they say Islam is terror). Islam is not a bad religion, but it happens that Islamic lands are filled with oil and Muslims are an obstacle to Satans plans. Allah, the God of Mohammad, Jesus, Moses and Abraham says in Quran: {If any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people} (Al maida 32) {There is no compulsion in religion} (Al bakara 256)

    It only proves that Geert and Scarlet themselves have a sick mind and are full of hatred for other people.

    No Religion in the world teach People to hate & kill others. I totally agree to this. Please stop talking negative about other religions. There is no religion in the world that supports terrorism. Islam is a very peaceful religion and it teaches love not hatred, peace not terrorism, justice and harmony not injustice. This movie does not prove anything against Islam. It only proves that Geert and Scarlet themselves have a sick mind and are full of hatred for other people. So stop all this propaganda against Islam and work on improving yourself first. Acts of terrorism have been done by criminals belonging to different religions, then why put the blame on Islam?

    • Trivia
      This movie was directed and edited under the supervision of Geert Wilders, a Dutch right wing politician. The Dutch public broadcasting network companies refused to air it, and Wilders had declined an offer from the Moslimomroep (MO) or Muslim Broadcasting Company, who wanted to air the film in its entirety. Seeing no other options, Wilders had the film posted on Liveleak, and can now be watched on-line.
    • Goofs
      Instead of Mohammed Bouyeri, the killer of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh, this movie shows a parody of a news photograph featuring Dutch rapper Salah Edin.
