Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende says he's "gravely concerned" about the consequences of the yet-to-be-broadcast anti-Qur'an film being produced by right wing politician Geert Wilders.

The Dutch cabinet discussed the repercussions of the film at length during their weekly meeting. The cabinet clearly wants to get a message of tolerance and moderation out before the film is released.

Mr Wilders is the leader of the populist Freedom Party, the fifth largest party in the Dutch parliament. He has long been making headlines with his claims that Islam's holy book of is fascist, and should be banned. His film, which is said now to be finished, has been creating controversy in the Netherlands and abroad since the plan to make it became known in early December. The film is fifteen minutes long, and is called Fitna, Arabic for trial or ordeal.

Why are Europeans bending over backwards to accommodate religious fanatics?

Something is seriously messed up when expressing a negative opinion of Islam comes packaged with death threats and simpering politicians doing their best to appease lunatics.

Granted, Wilders is self-serving and a bit of a nutjob (just look at the guy's hair) but this is ridiculous...

yeah i agree. everyone should stand up to these muslim fanatics, especially other muslims.

freedom of speech is one of the most valuable right we have in the west.

they should also do away with the laws against holocaust denial. it's absurd to throw someone in prison for denying the holocaust... it doesn't matter how absurd it is to deny it in the first place.

i believe freedom of speech should also allow racist fucckers like Geert Wilder to express whatever he wants to.

y'know, mythos... if you call everyone who happens to think differently than you 'a racist' then the term loses its meaning, and it just makes you look like a pants-wetting loser

I'm just sayin...

or are you readying another pissy stream along with cries of 'racism' towards anyone who dares point out this fact?
