(BBC) -- Dutch right-wing politician Geert Wilders has posted a controversial film critical of Islam's holy book, the Koran, on the internet. The opening scenes show a copy of the Koran, followed by footage of the attacks on the US on 11 September 2001. The 17-minute film was posted on video-sharing website LiveLeak. Its planned release had sparked angry protests in Muslim countries. Dutch PM Jan Peter Balkenende said the film wrongly equated Islam with violence>>>FULL TEXT

DEPRESSING
by urstruly (not verified) on Sat Mar 29, 2008 05:09 PM PDTHow can a clip like this make anyone (including Iranians abroad) think that Iran is a nice place?
Just disgusting.
What is wrong with people with constant violence in their mind? Of course it runs in every nationality. What makes people want to destroy other people?
Not right.
The producers of this
by AA (not verified) on Sat Mar 29, 2008 04:03 PM PDTThe producers of this propaganda have forgot what their own Bible says: The Old Testament which is taken as guidelines for both Jews & Christians says:
...defeat them; then you utterly destroy them; make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy.
Deuteronomy 7: 1-6
Iranians don't need to watch this barabric video !
by Abbas Agha (not verified) on Sat Mar 29, 2008 03:49 PM PDTIranians have experienced it over the past 1400 years and saw it first hand in 1979 the barbarism of Islam when the revolutionary Mullahs and their thugs took murdered 1000's of Iranians just like it is shown in this video. As an ex-Muslim, I hope that America will bomb the hell of the Islamic Republic, one of the main sources of Islamic crime against humanity.

the true face of Islam
by Lucifercus (not verified) on Sat Mar 29, 2008 02:21 PM PDT1.true or untrue. Humankind will live with it. The devils will be dismissed. Slavery will disappear. the ones with heart full of hate against humsn beings who does not want to have strangers as their masters in their very own home will give up hating.
2. Only the respectable, honourfull Iranians who live in Iran and only they can speak for Iranians and say for example WE in IRAN. In fact they will say: we in our ISLAMIC REPUBLIC of IRAN....and so on. and the ones who live in abroad specially those out of them who have dobble PASS or even only one from another country, well these individuals better do not take the word WE when they speak about Iranians. better not.
3. the pseudo true face of Islam will bring a lot problems for economy of the western countries. The western themselves will eliminate these minimis of salman the satan. If not today then tomorrow. For sure.
I'm glad this was released
by Anonymousk (not verified) on Sat Mar 29, 2008 01:12 PM PDTI'm glad this was released and have had the chance to watch it. I can't say that it's the best short film I've ever seen, but it does make many good points. I didn't see this film as anti-Islam so much as anti-Islamist. Since Muslim extremists justify their barbarism from the Qur'an I believe the verses used in this film are legitimate points to raise.
This doesn't say much about the religion itself, after all the Bible has some hair-raising verses as well, but it does in how it's practiced by many. All in all though, I really don't care if anyone is offended. I'm offended by many Muslims who use their faith to justify this savagery, excuse it or simply ignore it. Silence by moderate muslim against killing Theo Van Gogh or other vile and barbaric action by the muslims extremist tantamounts to complicity. When was a last time moderate muslims protested the militant and extremist views of Islamic Republic in the U.S.????
Turn your religion into an evil ideology and you can expect a negative reaction. Those who are Muslim and do not believe as the Islamists do have the unfortunate responsibility to turn this around. It may seem unfair but frankly TFB. If Christians were doing likewise you'd better believe I'd be holding their feet to the fire. Yet unlike Islam, Christianity went through the Renaissance, Reformation, Counter-Reformation, Enlightenment, etc. It's time that Islam faces the same
Said Verses In The Tape
by A Quran Reader (not verified) on Sat Mar 29, 2008 01:11 PM PDT1. The subject of verse 60 of Surah 8 i.e. "Harb" meaning war starts from verse 57 and finishes with verse 62. For the fellow Iranians it is good to pay attention to verses 61-62 there and think about their the relation with Iran-Iraq war (the 2 so-called muslim countries!!).
2. The subject of verse 89 of surah 4 is about hypocrites (traitors) which begins with verse 88 of the same surah and continues with verse 90 on their positions in the war times. Think about the punishment in US for treason!
3. Verse 4 of Surah 47 is specifically talking about war again & you need to read the entire long verse and do not just stop there by reading the first line.
Is not that a common sense when you read a book you need to read it entirely before you could make a judgement?? How could also a surgeon perform an operation without having had long years of learning & practice?? In my thinking the major problem with every one who carries a title of "Muslim" in the world is that they rely on somebody else such as a father, mother, friend, mullah, media and etc. to tell them or to teach them what is in the Quran as well as what is in the Bible & in the Torah. They do not bother to read any or all 3 at least once & instead they act on their emotions & their conjectures. The more reading of the 3 books the less of danger getting trapped with the "Fitnah" & the "Plots" of the others.
Stoning people is much worse
by Anonymousk (not verified) on Sat Mar 29, 2008 12:57 PM PDTStoning people is much worse than terrorism...and stoning is a regular occurrence in the good o'l Islamic Republic. Isn't stoning an Islamic Law and part of Shaia???
Stoning is the most brutal and inhuman torture method ever existed.
We have known for 30 years this is the true face of Islam
