From Klein Verzet:
This Week: Fitna, The Movie
Dutch parliamentary member Geert Wilders has announced that his Islam critical film named “Fitna” will be ready at the end of this week. The film, he announced, will soon have its own website:
www.fitnathemovie.com Revealing fact is that the Dutch parliamentary member choose to host the website not from a server in The Netherlands, but from a server located in North America. Presumably to hold it out of reach of the Dutch government.
Next week, says Wilders, he will start negotiating with Dutch broadcasters to get his 15 minute film broadcasted in The Netherlands. A process that, according to him, can take up to several weeks. This could be sign that the movie will not be released the end of this week. But it could also be a way to put pressure on the Dutch broadcasters who don’t want to broadcast the whole movie, because they all politically oppose Wilders, but who at the same time would even sell their own mother for a scoop.
We keep you posted about the developments around the film Fitna. In the meantime, if people like to provide some free PR to the movie, they should create as many back links as possible to the website “fitna the movie”. This can be done by simply placing links to www.fitnathemovie.com. This can be done on you’re personal blog, other people’s blog comments, discussion forums, websites, etc.
Remember that massive YouTube outage last Sunday?
From The Times of India:
Pakistan lifts curbs on YouTube
26 Feb 2008, 2206 hrs IST, PTI
ISLAMABAD: Pakistani authorities on Tuesday lifted a ban on popular video-sharing website YouTube after it removed “objectionable content” insulting Islam.
The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) had ordered about 70 internet service providers last week to block the website because it had hosted a trailer for a “blasphemous film” by Dutch politician Geert Wilders that portrays Islam in a negative light.
The move by Pakistani authorities to block access to the website caused an accidental near global blackout of YouTube on Sunday.
YouTube , which is owned by Google, said on Monday that an ISP complying with Pakistan’s ban had caused a blackout of the website on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Senate or upper house of Parliament strongly condemned the republication in Denmark of the blasphemous cartoons caricaturing Prophet Mohammed that were also posted on YouTube.
A resolution passed unanimously by the Senate said “serious tensions” are also brewing because of a “sacrilegious film against Islam” made by Wilders.
(Emphasis is ours.)
That’s right… the controversy even brought down YouTube!
These crude and heavy-handed efforts to stop people from watching Fitna will eventually backfire. The harder our foes work to censor vital political speech, the more attention it will get, and the more curiosity will be aroused. That’s just human nature; after all, if the movie warrants that much consternation, then what it contains must be very important indeed.
But even though totalitarian censorship fails in the long run, before that happens it always does enormous damage to human societies and to the human spirit. Geert Wilders’ movie is going to be huge - and it deserves every opportunity to reach its eagerly-awaiting audience.
Here’s where YOU come in:
- Cross-post the Fitna movie announcement on your own blog.
- Email the link to http://www.fitnathemovie.com to your friends.
- Add the link to your bookmarks, favorites, or blogroll.
- Publicize it on social news sites, forums, and relevant comments on blog posts.
- Explain why this movie, and the freedom to distribute it and view it, is so important!

Geert Wilders Threatened With Suicide Attack (videos, interviews)

Courageous Dutch MP Geert Wilders has faced such threats from the beginning: |

Suicide attack planned on Wilders
From Expatica, with thanks to Fjordman, who keeps an eye on the international reporting on Dutch affairs. Something we at KV should be doing a lot more, instead of relying on internal MSM reporting. Because this bit of news should have made headlines in the Netherlands, but didn’t. Not by a long shot. One wonders why not…
MP Geert Wilders was threatened with a suicide attack last week. Two young men reportedly planned to shoot the politician down and detonate a van full of explosives next to the politician. “Many innocent people were to die in the chaos.”
This has emerged from the report Wilders filed with the Haaglanden police. A warning of the attack planned for either The Hague or Amsterdam came via the anonymous hotline for crime tips. A similar, but less detailed, death threat came in via the hotline this week. It is unusual for this hotline to be used to announce death threats.
The initial, very concrete warning spoke about an attack planned for early February. Wilders would first be shot, and then a man would drive a white delivery van into the victim and detonate the 500 to 600 kilos of explosives in the vehicle.
[…]
The person who called the hotline said that the perpetrators were not fundamentalists, but “just wanted revenge.”
Well, that’s okay then. Just as long as they’re not fundamentalist. Because that would be, eehm… awkward?
Anyway, this news comes hot on the heels of an interview that Wilders gave yesterday, in which he doesn’t exactly mince words viz-a-vis and apropos of (small Thin Blue Line reference) the Religion of Peace(tm). See also Isaac Schrödingers post below.
According to Wilders, Islam is a violent religion. “If Mohammed lived here today, I would propose tarring and feathering and hunting him out of the country as an extremist. (…) If Muslims want to stay here, they must tear up and throw away half the Koran. They must not listen to their Imam. I have read the Koran. (…) And I know that there are enough terrible things in it. If Muslims do assimilate, they are fully-fledged citizens, not a millimetre less valuable than you or I.”
Wilders believes his new PVV party - it obtained 9 Lower House seats in November - can grow into “one of the biggest parties” in parliament. “Other parties avoid the themes that threaten us in our existence. Everything we are proud of, we sell to the devil. (…) You feel that you are no longer living in your own country.”
On his thoughts about Israel:
The only criticism he has of the country is that “I find Israel sometimes listens to Europe too much. It should have intervened in Lebanon much earlier. I am more inclined to consider that Israel does not go far enough than that it goes too far.”(Cross posted at Klein Verzet)

Wilders’ film is to be called “Fitna” (فتنة)
Dutch MP says anti-Islamic film set for broadcast in March
Feb 9, 2008
THE HAGUE (AFP) — Dutch far-right deputy Geert Wilders said in an interview published Saturday that his controversial anti-Islam film will be called “Fitna” , arabic for ordeal, and will be aired in March.
The leader of the Freedom party (PVV), which has nine of 150 seats in parliament, said in November that he planned to make a short film showing that Islam’s holy book, the Koran, is “a fascist book” that “incites people to murder”.
According to the interview with Dutch GPD news agency, Wilders’ 15-minute film is almost done, and he hopes it will be shown on Dutch television in March. He had initially said it would air at the end of January.
Wilders said he has called the film Fitna, an Arabic word that in Islam is used to describe all things that can test the faith and is sometimes synonymous to evil.
“I use the term in an inverse sense because for me Islam … is fitna,” he said.

The SC ‘Splodeydopes: Jihad has reached small-town America

Update: Despite FBI foot-dragging, SC “Pipe Bomb Boys” indicted for terrorism in Tampa
‘Splodeydopes (i.e., homicide bombers) - in South Carolina, of all places? Just after I had finished installing the Breitbart news feed on this blog, I noticed that the feed had served up a news item about two ’splodeydopes of Middle Eastern extraction having been apprehended in South Carolina with explosive devices. Too little information was available at that time to write a full-fledged blog post, so I posted Explosives found in South Carolina - connection with enemy combatants with the information I had. I hoped that posting even this sketchy information would help to keep everyone focused on this topic, and everyone’s eyes and ears observing their surroundings - especially those in South Carolina who might be in a position to notice something.
As it so often does, the FBI seems to be putting everybody back to sleep rather than on alert. It’s amazing that they were unwilling to acknowledge the obvious signs of terrorist activity, despite the fact that the two men were caught near the closely-guarded Naval Weapons Station Charleston, where nuclear weapons are handled and where enemy combatants have been held.
Plenty of updates have come in since the arrest:
- Goose Creek Bomb Suspects Identified
- Two Middle Eastern Men: Bomb Squad at Scene in SC
- Saturday night bomb scare Update: Felony charges filed, map added
- Explosives Found Near Goose Creek, SC - Update, Names Released of 2 Men in Custody - bumped
- Trunk bomb highlights Lowcountry’s potential targets
Don’t assume that the South is immune to enemy infiltrators. Last year, I spoke with a gentleman who said that one of the reasons he chose to live in northern Mississippi was that his locale was “not on al Qaeda’s list of top ten thousand targets for attack.” He’s right, of course, and even though I love the American South for its own sake, I also have every reason to believe that the small-town and rural South does offer a better chance of avoiding instant destruction in a terror attack. That said, I caution everyone not to indulge in a false sense of security just because you happen to be living in the American South or in any thinly-populated, small-town or rural area.
Here’s the problem: The bad guys are taking root everywhere, not just in major metropolitan areas. Fact is, an out-of-the-way location can afford them concealment for terrorist training or other evil activities, where John or Jane Doe might not be around to spot anything suspicious. And of course, spotting things that are suspicious or abnormal is exactly where you come in.
But what if this was just an isolated incident? No chance of that. There have already been reports of jihadist recruitment, training, and other activity in small-town America for quite some time now. For example:
- Paul Williams: In the Belly of the Beast
- Fuqra Community in York County, SC
- Jihad in Small Town America
- Jihad among Junipers and Mint Juleps
The take-home lesson? Always be sure to keep an eye out for any suspicious activity, even if you think you’re in middle of nowhere, because the fact is that there’s no such place as the middle of nowhere!
