Geert Wilders is a Dutch politician and member of the House of Commons in the Netherlands. Wilders is a firm criticus of the Islam culture.

Wilders announced that he was working on a 15 minutes movie concerning the Koran at the end of 2007. The film reflects Wilders conception that the Koran is a fascist book. No television station in the Netherlands wants to show the film. Wilders wanted therefore to show his movie on the internet. His site was hosted on NetworkSolutions but likely Network was afraid for a lot of trouble. Url is: fitnathemovie. com

The public opinion in the Netherlands is strongly divided over this movie. Most people in the Netherlands will agree that free press is essential and that this movie should be allowed. There are so many films who ridicule and criticize Christianity.

On the other hand Wilders is a politician, not a film maker. In the Dutch politics, Wilders has strong competition of two other parties on the right wing.

In november 2004 the Dutch film maker Theo van Gogh was murdered like a pig on the street in Amsterdam by an Islam fanatic. This was after finishing Theo van Goghs critical Islam movie 'Submission'.

That's an understatement.

Next thing you know, they'll put up a web site boycotting Network Solutions.
Big deal, considering some of us "censor" people from saying or doing stuff we
consider "bad" in our premises.

Which was a short movie, and Theo was about to make the second about this topic. I saw the movie, and i have to say that there are MUCH more harsh movies criticizing christianity (like: Amen.. or making fun of it like: Life of Brian).

The problem is, the muslims are much more sensitive than any other religious group, and either we respect it, or we start trouble. Free speach is just as important (or less) than diplomacy imo.

generally those who advocate censorship have the most to hide

**Acro** · 03-24-2008, 10:04 AM

Solution: host the web site on a .nl domain.
