| Geert Wilders, an outspoken politician and chairman of the Freedom Party (PVV) in the Netherlands who produced a 16 minute-long movie “FITNA,” has been accused of Islamophobia and refused entry to the UK by immigration authorities after arriving at Heathrow airport in London. UK Independence party peer, Lord Pearson, had invited him to show his controversial film “Fitna,” which links Quran to terrorism, at the House of Lords.The 16-minute documentary which juxtaposes passages of the Quran with the mass murder of 9/11 and other acts by radical Muslims was released to the Internet on March 27, 2008. It immediately sparked Muslims’ condemnation. They argued he is twisting selected passages from the Quran to suit his argument in the same way that extremists do to promote terrorism. In his short film, he presented the following passages from the Quran. You be the judge: Al-Anfal 8.60 “Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides, whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know. Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of Allah, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly.” An-Nisa 4.56 "Those who have disbelieved our signs, we shall roast them in fire. Whenever their skins are cooked to a turn, we shall substitute new skins for them, that they may feel the punishment; Verily Allah is sublime and wise." Muhammad 47.4 “Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah, - He will never let their deeds be lost.” An-Nisa 4.89 “They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks.” Al-Anfal 8.39 “Fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah altogether and everywhere; but if they cease, verily Allah doth see all that they do.” Regrettably, a court in his hometown, Amsterdam, ruled that he should be prosecuted for inciting racial hatred, though Wilders has appealed against the decision since he was exercising his free speech. The film's title comes from the Arabic word ‘Fitna’, which can simultaneously mean: a schism, secession, upheaval and anarchy. The Dutch politician arrived in the U.S. last Thursday to show his controversial film “Fitna” and meet with lawmakers in Washington. He also appeared last Friday at a banquet in the Omni-Shoreham Hotel in Washington D.C. The event was organized by the lovely, fearless, true American patriot, Pamela Geller, from the well-known blog Atlas Shrugs. Other honorable and distinguished individuals who assisted Pamela with financing the event were Dr. Andrew Bostom, Robert Spencer and David Horowitz. Wilders gave a phenomenal speech about freedom of speech at the grand ballroom. Wilders is correct in his assertion about Islam in Europe. The Muslims' killing campaign did not end with their defeat at the gates of Vienna. Their eviction from Spain was a temporary forced retreat. But now the Muslims have, in huge numbers, penetrated the gates of every city and town of Europe without yet having to use their swords. In Europe, the gullible, self-indulging native non-Muslims have welcomed the arrivals as a source of cheap labor to serve their needs for a life devoted to self-gratification with little concern for the future. Europe is living on credit, and the creditors are hordes of Muslims who have already started delivering their bills. Many affluent Europeans who see the handwriting on the wall are packing and moving to North America, Australia, and other seemingly safe lands. Yet the Muslims’ bills, with compounded interest, shall continue to be delivered to those who remain behind. In response, politicians will keep bending backwards to placate the evermore powerful creditors by gradually instituting the Islamic Sharia as the law of the land. Before very long, Europe will have to turn its deed over to the new Islamic invaders or rebel and fight block by block, city by city. That’s when Europe shall bleed, once again. Life is precious. It is to be protected, nurtured and celebrated. Mankind is moving, perhaps at a glacier pace, toward reconciliation, ever-expanding inclusiveness without any group or ideology imposing itself on others. Any attempt against this trend of unity in diversity is doomed to failure, as exemplified by the demise of fascism and communism. The charter of Quran for most parts preaches discrimination, death and imposition of its dogma on everyone. Islam, just like fascism and communism, is a dysfunctional ideology that needs to be abandoned. Humanity has matured considerably since the time of Muhammad. In order to continue its forward march, mankind must follow a roadmap appropriate for its age and state of development. It is foolish to insist that a book written over 1400 years ago must serve as the one and only guide for humanity. Reforming Islam is unfortunately not a realistic possibility. About the only universal agreement that exists among Islamic authorities is that every word of the Quran is the word of Allah and is not subject to human modification, ever. The ‘Hadith’ also enjoys a similar sacrosanct standing. And of course, the faithful Muhammad’s conduct as recorded in the Sunna is the model to be emulated. Hence, one can pick and choose, but one cannot discard or revise any part of the scripture. For this reason, a Martin Luther type reformation has not happened and will not likely ever happen within Islam. Sell hate and people queue several blocks to buy. Sell love and you will be mostly by your lonely self. Is this a cynical view? No, it is a realistic one. It describes a human’s lower and primitive nature which must be painstakingly overcome through persistent education and awakening of man’s higher nature. It is heartening to see that there are people such as Geert Wilders, Robert Spencer, Dr. Ali Sina, Dr. Wafa Sultan, Nonie Darwish and many others who cherish liberty as humanity's most precious treasure and risk their lives to defend it against the surging monolithic Islamism. I salute these valiant people and call upon the free people of the world over to swell their ranks and reverse the deadly tide of Islamofascism. |
i'm a muslim and i'm shocked
i'm a muslim and i'm shocked and appalled by the degree of hatred that people in this site have toward muslims ,if we want to follow every religion to the letter we'll have an apocalypse in no time and there's no exeptions either be it judaism ,christianity or islam they all boost their superiority over each other and demean any body who believes otherwise ,the only difference is that in the west peaple don't take religion seriously anymore and the muslim world is still entrenched in poverty ignorance and superstition with of course the financing of the oil lords of saudi arabia who with their new interpretations of the koran keep the ignorant masses subdued and in a state of euphoria so that they can never start asking the real questions .Islam is just like any other religion you can get anything out of it (evil and good) it all depends on your state of mind before you joined that religion
Freemuslim, take some time
Freemuslim, take some time off to see the destruction caused by Islam around the world. Persia, Iraq, Arabia, and India are some of the countries that faced brutal attack from Islam. Islam has to be finished off soon to reestablish democracy
To: FreeMuslim Dear brother,
To: FreeMuslim
Dear brother, Please go to the "challenge" in this site. We have nothing against Muslims. The problem is Islam, not Muslims. When you read the documentation in Sina's challenge from the Qur'an and from Hadith and Sirat, I am almost positive you will become an Ex-Muslim. Truth is powerful. Read your Qur'an. It is no more than a hate speech. If I say about Muslims what the Qur'an says about nonmuslims, I am sure i'll be arrested for hate speech. There are eternal Ayas in the Qur'an that are replete with evil and hate against others. In any case brother, go to "the Challenge" up top on this site and click. you will have a journey of discovery my friend. Guaranteed.
Peace brother. I wish you the best
FreeMuslim Could you kimdly
FreeMuslim
Could you kimdly be specific as to how we hate Muslims?
Ahh freemuslim what do you
Ahh freemuslim what do you mean when you say the west no more take religion seriously? The west is generally secular and religion to them is a private matter. One of the reason they does is for not hurting the feelings of minority religions and non believers. How civilized are they! Aren't you even shocked by the level of the respect they try to give to Islam as governements? But what is the case in majority muslim countries? Just by landing on the Airport of Saudi Arabia or Pakistan or any muslim countries for that matter Islam is projected everywhere. The governments have even promoted islam as the official religion with the sharia laws as their constutions. Imagine how a hindu must be feeling in a muslim country. And this has nothing to do by muslims loving islam so much, it has to do with the fact that islam is oppressive by its nature, muslims and Kaffirs, Good and Bad, Halal and Haram, you know what I mean.
So be it known to you that the fact that islam enjoys freedom in western countries has nothing to do with westerners not taking their religion seriously. It is because their religion tells them not to exhibit separatists atributes, tells them that religion is an inward thing and not outward, tell them not to be hypocrites thinking they are rightists and others are wrong, again you know what I mean.
