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.
