Censorship?<BR/><BR/>FYI, any TV station would ask to see your film before airing it and Wilders refused to show it to the producers beforehand. Even the Muslim public broadcaster offered to show it on their air time if Wilders was to appear afterwards in a debate and HE REFUSED. Basically they offered him a space to excercise his freedom of speech but he doesn't like Muslims...<BR/><BR/>Now, about the film, it is a pamphlet. It tries to associate the deeds of some lunatics (who try to justify themselves with the Q'uran) with ALL the moslims. It is like saying that all Catholic priests abuse kids. I find that far fetched and paranoid.<BR/><BR/>It also is poorly done and has some blunders:<BR/>- The use of the Danish cartoon was not authorized by the cartoonist. Kurt Westergaard just called Wilders a thief in an interview on Dutch TV.<BR/>- Wilders changed some words on the verses (soerat 8, vers 60 does not say 'terrorize')<BR/>- The image he uses of Van Gogh's killer is actually a Moroccan raper. Proof that xenophobes think that all Muslims look and act the same?<BR/><BR/>Just as a note, I am not a Muslim but the film really insults my intelligence: it is not about the Quran, I mean it is a huge book and the film only shows all the videos we all know from the news! Please... can it get any more lame? <BR/><BR/>Andrea, Den Haag, NLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
