In Fitna, Geert Wilders succeeds in taking enormous amounts of old footage out of their original context and fitting them together in a pattern that is really only logical to Geert Wilders.
While not being a very tasteful or entertaining film, to the mature viewer it does provide an interesting perspective on one thing - The grotesque nature of ethnocentric and political propaganda. For this reason, and because of scenes of extreme violence, it should be highly dis-recommended to the immature viewer.
Personally, I have never seen the likes of Fitna since America's paranoid propaganda videos from the Red Scare. I was amazed by the paranoia exhibited in the Cold War, but I am equally amazed by the seriousness with which Wilders draws parallels between extreme Islamic fundamentalism and the billion (probably more) innocent and innocuous Muslims living in and outside Europe.

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 !!!

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)
For its purpose, Gert Wildeers pulled off a horrifically tragic and impressive piece of short-film. It shows how Islam and the Quran is misinterpreted by radical Muslims and a couple of the consequences of just that. The short-film is designed to bring out fear in the audience by telling the old sad story of terrorism and the bad experiences that has risen throughout Europe and the USA.
No doubt - What is shown is true. What this movie doesn't show us is the good Muslim doing his job, the Muslim making friends with Europeans and Americans and the Muslim adapting to his new environments. To generalize and expect people to be dumb as cattle are not the way to go about these matters. Digging even deeper trenches between the Islamic culture and western culture is a bad idea. Unless You just wanna say "fcuk it" and arm up as we speak. I don't have the solution to these problems that we experience these days. I just don't feel that this short-film is going to help solve anything at all... Especially in this turbulent time of satiric drawings and no-good trade embargoes.
Somebody needs to give that man a hug. There are lots of Muslims acting retarded in this world. But luckily there are significantly more acting like the rest of us.
God bless us all!

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
