Van Gogh Redux? Another Anti-Koran Film Stirs Up Holland - International - SPIEGEL ONLINE - News

Logical thinkers: "Islam is a violent religion!"

Muslims: "Nuh uh!!! We're peaceful! Take it back or we'll kill you!!!"

Here's saluting the nerve of Geert Wilders, leader of Holland's Freedom Party, who plans to release a movie that "rips the Koran for promoting violence and intolerance."

The last Dutch movie critical of Islam was Submission, by Theo Van Gogh and Ayaan Hirsi Ali. After its release, Van Gogh was murdered in the street by a Muslim. Apostate Ali is still in hiding.

Wilders' 10-minute film shows how the Koran is used to promote violence against women, gays and people in general. So far no Dutch broadcasters have the backbone to air it in a country only a few decades away from becoming majority Muslim if demographic trends continue. If Wilders can't find a broadcaster by Friday, he'll put it on the Internet.

Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende wrings his hands and bleats:

The Netherlands has a tradition of freedom of speech, religion and beliefs. The Netherlands also has a tradition of respect, tolerance and responsibility. Unnecessarily offending certain groups does not belong here.

Holland is the canary in the Muslim–moonbat coal mine. If it joins the umma without putting up a fight, look for other European nations to follow.

I read somewhere that many European nations, the Netherlands being one, are considering or have already in place some sort of cultural assessment programme for new immigrants. This is designed to weed out those immigrants whose values are not compatible with the host country. This sounds like an interesting idea. Too bad I can't remember any of the details. :frown: I guess the fact that I am blonde ain't false advertising, eh.
