Proportional response. Now, now. Didn’t the Christianists do the same thing when The DaVinci Code came out? No? Uh, never mind. “Anti-Quran film sparks protests in Muslim world,” from CNN-IBN: New Delhi: Muslims in several countries are protesting a film by a Dutch lawmaker’s film, saying it insults the Quran. Hundreds of Islamists staged angry […]

U.N.’s Arbour on Fitna: “They should offer strong protective measures to all forms of freedom of expression, while at the same time enacting appropriate restrictions, as necessary, to protect the rights of others”
Questions for Ms. Arbour: Is not being offended a human right? Should “appropriate restrictions” target the clear and present danger of possibly having one’s feelings hurt? In that event, there will need to be a U.N. court on every elementary school playground. “Louise Arbour condemns the film ‘Fitna’,” from Kuwait News Agency: GENEVA, March 28 […]
Jihadist cleric Omar Bakri: Fitna “could be a film by the Mujahideen”
Preeeeeee-cisely. The formerly UK-based jihadist hits the nail on the head: for all the rage from Muslims about how Fitna “links Islam with violence,” that link has already been made by the jihadists, who never aroused any significant rage among their peaceful brethren. The jihadists quote Qur’an to justify their actions — it wasn’t Geert […]
Qaradawi: “What the Dutch politician did is tantamount to opening fire on the Qur’an”
Qaradawi yet again indulges in extreme rhetoric that can only mean one thing to all too many of his followers, just as he did last week with Wafa Sultan. “Five Ways to Defend Qur’an: Qaradawi,” by Mohammad Sabrah for IslamOnline (thanks to Sr. Soph): CAIRO “” Prominent Muslim scholar Yusuf al-Qaradawi refuted allegations by a […]
UN Alliance of Civilizations: Don’t overemphasize extremism — it will only create extremism
So apparently if we all agree to ignore it, it will go away. “A call for respect and calm,” by Jorge Sampaio, UN High Representative for the Alliance of Civilizations: At the core of this situation is a trend towards extremism in many of our societies. We should indeed beware of overemphasizing it, because extremism […]
OIC condemns Fitna “in the strongest terms”
They say the film defamed and denigrated the Qur’an. Yet when the acts of violence it depicts were justified by their perpetrators by reference to the Qur’an, what did they say then? “OIC condemns “in the strongest terms” release of anti-Islam film,” from the Islamic Republic News Agency: The Organization of the Islamic Conference added […]
Malaysia’s Mahathir: Muslims should boycott Dutch products over Fitna
A boycott, of course, is better than an outpouring of violent rage, but it is still misplaced in this case, because as Mahathir “The Jews Run The World By Proxy” Mohamad well knows, this film is not a production of the Dutch nation. Boycotting Dutch products is simply an attempt to strongarm the Dutch as […]
“Death to the filmmaker”
Fitna Rage grows. “Muslim, UN outrage over Dutch MP’s anti-Islam film,” from AFP: Muslim nations, the European Union and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Friday expressed outrage at an anti-Islam film posted on the Internet by a far-right Dutch MP. […] Morocco’s Communications Minister Khalid Naciri said Wilders was “mentally retarded”. Iran said the […]

Davis: If You Like Fitna, Then You’ll Love …
Nu in het Nederlands! A hearty hello to our Dutch comrades-in-arms! Thanks to a committed wooden-shoed JihadWatcher, we now have a full-length version of Islam: What the West Needs to Know up on Google Video with Dutch subtitles, here, just in time for all the excitement. Enjoy!
What ever happened to “Give me liberty, or give me death?”
Or “We pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor”? Here is LiveLeak’s statement on why they pulled Fitna: Following threats to our staff of a very serious nature, and some ill informed reports from certain corners of the British media that could directly lead to the harm of some of our staff, Liveleak.com […]
Fitna on Google Video
I don’t know for how long this will be up, but here it is for now. And many thanks to all the very kind Jihad Watch readers who emailed me this link and others over the last two hours, while for some reason unknown to me I could not get inside the site to update […]
Shock horror! UN’s Ban condemns Qur’an film!
The predictable dhimmis fall into predictable lockstep. “U.N.’s Ban condemns Dutch film as anti-Islamic,” from Reuters (thanks to Twostellas): UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) – U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Friday condemned as “offensively anti-Islamic” a Dutch lawmaker’s film that accuses the Koran of inciting violence. Ban acknowledged efforts by the government of the Netherlands to stop […]
LiveLeak caves to death threats, removes Fitna
From our “Say Islam Is A Religion of Peace, Or We’ll Kill You” Department comes this: click on the old Fitna link for the official LiveLeak statement. And score another victory for thuggery and violent intimidation, and another defeat for freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and free inquiry. Meanwhile, if anyone has, or can […]
“Robert Spencer of Jihadwatch is an Islamic Jihadist posing as an anti-jihadist”
This is a joke, right? I can’t stop laughing!
“We can’t defeat an enemy when we don’t even know why he is fighting, what he wants, or what will bring him to stop fighting”
A profile of the wicked Jihad Watch director who is “at-times soft-spoken,” — that is, when he ain’t screamin’ like a banshee. (Seriously, this is a very nice profile and I thank Mindy Belz for it.) “Islamo-ignorance: We can’t defeat an enemy when we don’t know why he’s fighting,” by Mindy Belz in World Magazine: […]
Al-Qaeda websites post photo of Wilders: “The Dutch, enemy of Allah, has done what he threatened to do and distributed his film”
“Dear brothers, remember what happened to Ariel Sharon. Now let’s hope that he (Wilders) ends up the same way.” “Islam: Al-Qaeda-linked sites post photo of Dutch MP behind anti-Koran film,” from AKI (thanks to Insubria): Dubai, 28 March (AKI) – A photo of Dutch right-wing politician Geert Wilders has been posted on several Islamist websites […]
Armchair Critic: Blogger who posted “The List of Things That Offend Muslims” deserves to be shot
The growing Muslim indignation over Geert Wilders’s movie Fitna manifests anew a phenomenon we have noted here many, many times: when non-Muslims point out that Islamic jihadists commit acts of violence and justify them by reference to the Qur’an, many non-Muslim and Muslim apologists for jihad, include many who are widely known as “moderates” respond […]
Pakistan summons Dutch Ambassador to lodge protest over Fitna
The offense deepens. “Pakistan protests over Islam film,” from the BBC: Pakistan has summoned the Dutch ambassador in Islamabad to lodge a protest over a controversial film on Islam, Fitna, published online. The 15-minute film by Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders sets verses from the Koran against a background of violent images from terror attacks. Pakistan’s […]
