Talk about pre-release publicity: Wilders is promising that the movie will include the Koran being desecrated, possibly burned and torn apart in order to show that Islam is a "source of inspiration for intolerance, murder and terror[ism]."

I'll be the first to admit I'm an uncultured dumb American...but I don't understand how destroying a Muslim holy book makes the Muslims look bad. Really, it just makes the person doing the destruction look like a jerk. Am I missing something?

yeah muslims need to lighten the fark up.

burn the koran, light it with a flaming bible. so what?

now I don't go around burning anybody's holy book as a habit, but I don't think the threat of violence for doing so is acceptable from anyone. the threats by themselves are reason enough to drop kick a koran, just to make the point that those sorts of threats can't work.

Sure you can.

Fark the rubber bullets.

Shoot, imprison or deport.

These "How dare you call us violent!!" blood fests from the Islamic world are totally retarded.

Push will come to shove whether Geert (who is admittedly an as*wipe) Wilder's film is aired or not.

This was made inevitable when their government allowed massive amounts of Islamic immigrants into the country in order to offset the aging population who failed to reproduce like rabbits.

They haven't seen "off-set" yet.

They WILL learn.

Too late to do much good but better late than never.

Dumb All Over

***NSFW***

"Whoever we are
Wherever were from
We shoulda noticed by now
Our behavior is dumb
And if our chances
Expect to improve
Its gonna take a lot more
Than tryin to remove
The other race
Or the other whatever
From the face
Of the planet altogether

They call it the earth
Which is a dumb kinda name
But they named it right
cause we behave the same...
We are dumb all over
Dumb all over,
Yes we are
Dumb all over,
Near n far
Dumb all over,
Black n white
People, we is not wrapped tight

Nurds on the left
Nurds on the right
Religous fanatics
On the air every night
Sayin the bible
Tells the story
Makes the details
Sound real gory
bout what to do
If the geeks over there
Dont believe in the book
We got over here

You cant run a race
Without no feet
n pretty soon
There wont be no street
For dummies to jog on
Or doggies to dog on
Religous fanatics
Can make it be all gone
(I mean it wont blow up
n disappear
Itll just look ugly
For a thousand years...)

You cant run a country
By a book of religion
Not by a heap
Or a lump or a smidgeon
Of foolish rules
Of ancient date
Designed to make
You all feel great
While you fold, spindle
And mutilate
Those unbelievers
From a neighboring state

To arms! to arms!
Hooray! thats great
Two legs aint bad
Unless theres a crate
They ship the parts
To mama in
For souvenirs: two ears (get down!)
Not his, not hers, (but what the hey? )
The good book says:
(it gotta be that way!)
But their book says:
Revenge the crusades...
With whips n chains
n hand grenades...
Two arms? two arms?
Have another and another
Our God says:
There aint no other!
Our God says
Its all okay!
Our God says
This is the way!

It says in the book:
Burn n destroy...
n repent, n redeem
n revenge, n deploy
n rumble thee forth
To the land of the unbelieving scum on the other side
cause they dont go for whats in the book
n that makes em bad
So verily we must choppeth them up
And stompeth them down
Or rent a nice french bomb
To poof them out of existance
While leaving their real estate just where we need it
To use again
For temples in which to praise our god
(cause he can really take care of business!)"

I like a good flame war but just by the reaction of the Muslim community you have made your point. I do not see what airing the "documentary" will accomplish outside of creating riots. Just the backlash of the idea of its airing shows that the Muslim population needs to chill and get over it.

Retalitations inspired by the movie will undoubtedly prove that this guy is just inciting a riot for no reason.

IMO there's more to it than just proving that some muslims need to calm down. proving that the threat of violence can't be used to get their way is more important.

if they don't air this because the muslims made a ridiculous threat then they're proving the effectiveness of these fanatics tactics, thereby perpetuating the problem...IMO.

nope, they better air this.

It's a nice country you have here. It would be a real shame if something were to... happen to it... Not that I would do anything to it, oh no no no! But, someone else might. Now if you'd just be smart and do what I tell you, nothing would probably happen.

Tesseractor: Retalitations inspired by the movie will undoubtedly prove that this guy is just inciting a riot for no reason.

Why blame the victims? The fact that a movie has the potential to result in violent unrest in a European country should be cause for alarm. If there is a riot the fault will lie squarely with those who riot. The "incitement" comes not from the movie but from those who implicitly or explicitly condone violence as a correct or even understandable response to the expression of an opinion.

One problem with your logic though... If he doesn't show it now then he will - in truth - prove that threats of riots DO work, and only encourage more violence.

"So Mustafa, did you hear? The guy backed off! He won't show the film! Our threats worked!"
"That's great! It worked so well! What else do we want? Let's just threaten more riots!"

No, the only realistic way to deal with bullies is to defy them to the end. Appeasement is counter-productive, in addition to being cowardly.

See, now if these muslim folks really wanted to let the wind out of this guy's sails, then they would not riot.

The entire motivation of the is to evoke a violent reaction from them. If that doesn't happen then the movie fails and they win and in the future there would likely be less desecration of the koran.

But their rioting would probably just encourage the insulting of muslims in the future.

I've been to Holland, visiting relatives. The Dutch are so far to the left (relative to America) on virtually every issue except immigration. Geert Wilders is not some fringe politician. He has major public support, and his views on immigration are not uncommon.

Frankly, it's hard to blame the Dutch. Immigration hasn't done them any favors. All the problems in the red light district? Never any crime before Moroccan immigrants started peddling hard drugs and stealing bikes, etc.

 
Delaware_Bill 2008-01-25 05:01:47 PM  
I don't have many conservative views but this movie should be aired.
I don't beleive in censhorship in any form.Why back down to threats. I read somewhere that one of the few crusades the Christians actually won was because when they buried the Muslims killed in battle they buried them in pig entrails. I am opposed to all organized religion, my point proven again at least to me with this crap.

 
homerdrew415 2008-01-25 05:15:45 PM  
I went to Amsterdam after 9/11 (3/02) and got lost & couldn't figure out those damn complicated European phone booths. Of course since I'm an ignorant American alone in Amsterdam, I walk around to try and find a store that will sell me a phone card in English. I walk around for about 40 minutes until I found a phone card shop that catered to immigrants. I of course was stupid and had my star of david hanging from a chain on my neck and was immediately cursed (i assume. The only arabic cursing I know is sharmoota but the words coming out of their mouth was still angry sounding) at and yelled out of the shop. Needless to say I decided finding a hotel that had english speaking staff would be more helpful. Next time I'm bringing a cell phone.

 
tical 2008-01-25 05:17:43 PM  
Yeah! I'm sure Christians here would be cool if a member of the House or Senate made a movie that showed someone skull farking Jesus.

Mr Wilders is claiming censorship. However FTFA The Dutch Justice Ministry has already threatened to possibly prosecute Wilders for what he has said about the Koran, Islam and Muslim culture in the past (he compared it to "Mein Kampf" adding that it should be outlawed. What is good for the goose...

Sounds like the guy needs to get a life.

Yes, true. But judging from past performance, large swaths of the Islamic world are simply not sophisticated enough to grasp this.

But their rioting would probably just encourage the insulting of muslims in the future.



Yes, but if they do riot then they prove his point, don't they? Which would mean that further affronts to their religion would be wise, until such a time as they learn to deal with these provocations in a more civilized manner...


/and for those of you less informed about islam:
//the koran isn't the same as the bible for christians
///to them, the words in the koran are the actual revelation by god of his some-such
////so desecrating the koran is like desecrating jesus



So what? Jesus is desecrated regularly, and it doesn't spark riots widely throughout the adherents of Christianity...

Remember this? How much of the "Christian world" erupted in to deadly riots over this:
www.ncac.org

For those of you less informed about the rest of the world: Most of us aren't Islamic and we are under no obligation to give a flying fark about any holy book, whether it's supposed to be the direct word of Allah or not... No amount of non-intrusive religious insult justifies violent retaliation.

Reacting with riots and other violence to mere insults against your religion is backwards and uncivilized. Expecting people to kowtow to threats of such boorish behavior is suicidal and stupid. Being repectful of the religions of others is common courtesy... but if violence is threatened to FORCE the issue, then purposefully effecting such minor disrespect - such as desecration of symbols or holy books - until the offended parties learn to get over it is common sense.

My problem is that this simpleton Dutchman can't think of a decent way to desecrate the Koran. Ripping it up? OH BOY WHAT CREATIVE GENIUS. You have to admit Jesus floating around in piss was at least interesting.

No wonder nothing comes from Holland outside of amusing stories from tourists.

This guy has the right to his freedom of expression just as do the Godhatesfags guys and yes, Muslims.

 
suggestive_eye_movement 2008-01-25 05:41:12 PM  
In addition, this guy thinks the Koran should be outlawed like Mein Kampf. Take a lesson from America, you idiot European -- censoring things = NOT GOOD. Apparently you are high on drugs.

I'm sure that Pin Fortuyn and Theo Van Gogh would agree that Islam is the religion of peace after all. Wait, what, they were killed by radical Muslims who didn't like the way they portrayed Islam?

Above all I just can't stomach the arrogance of these people: why should the Dutch change their open society to accomodate a bunch of asswipes living in the Middle Ages?

Ayaan Hirsi Ali, no stranger to criticism of Islam herself, argues that Wilders should not air a movie whose sole and exclusive aim is to provoke and to insult - and she is right.

You know, I would generally agree with her. But if the threat they are facing is real -- and I am sure it is -- then they really need to consider an all Koran desecration channel.

24 hours, 7 days a week of nonstop burning, shiatting on, tearing up, ejaculating onto the koran until riots cease. It may be bloody and painful, but eventually it will cease. Then the channel will quietly go off the air. Think of it as 'reverse terrorism'.

I generally think everyone's private religious beliefs should be respected. But seriously, these farks need to grow up already.

He's banking on the young repressed Muslim males going apeshiat and perpetuating all of the negative stereotypes about them. And yes, he's a jerk for doing it, but they shouldn't take the bait. Hopefully they won't, but by the sound of it no one is trying to discourage them.

The majority of the film, I guess, is supposed to show the intolerance and inherent tendency to violence in Islam. The part with the burning of the Koran is supposed to incite Muslims to violence so people can see it first-hand.

Yeah, I'm uncomfortable with the idea of inciting any group of people to violence, but any group that's so easily offended should probably be made to get used to being insulted.

Liberal principles > Muslims
