It's no big deal, and all it does is show what Moslem leaders THEMSELVES are doing. There is no commentary--it is just some basic reporting. The Moslems should denounce such leadership if they disagree with it. Otherwise, it looks like they are in support of it. Extremists always give the regular people a bad name--if the regular people don't agree with the extremists, let them say so. But denying that the extremists are saying and doing what they actually ARE saying and doing is silly. Jesus would have the true Moslems speak the truth and stand against the warmongering extremists.

Do we all not want to live a prosperous life of peace and happiness. Do we all not bleed if cut, cry if we are sad, smile when we are happy? Unfortunately, those with the loudest voices are the minority, unfortunately those in positions of power are often motivated by greed for power and money. All any of us want to to live as free people prosperous and happy lives. Those who preach hate and death and kill in the name of God/Allah are not good people. They are al-Masīḥ ad-Dajjāl, they are the deceivers. Are we all not decedents of Abraham? Are we not all brothers? Let us work out our differences and work collectively for the greater good.

We keep showing each other the stupidest people that the other has produced, so we get all angry about it and never get anywhere. Do I really have to care about this guy? Seriously? Every word written about him just means that more people know who the hell he is and that's the last thing we need. I think both East and Wesy have a huge MEMRI problem.

If your experience of God is immediate -- as in not mediated by mullahs, priests, politicians, rabbis, and prophets -- then no one can insult it. It is beyond the reach of man. So long as religion is just a membership in a group that believes it is right and that others are wrong, we can forget about knowing God. Maybe religion is the devil’s way of dividing us all.

Wilder's film was both appropriate and needed. It is a stand for freedom of speech. You say it insults Muslims? So what? Many things that Muslims do insult non-Muslims (such as the hate and violence!). When are Muslims going to start protesting against the things they do? When are they going to apologize for 1200 years of jihad? When are they going to speak out against the hate and violence in Islam? When are they going to read the hadith and condemn the violence against non-Muslims? If Muslims would stop the hate and killing there would be no fitna movie and no need to speak out against Islam. Is that idea too complicated? But no... Muslims always blame everything on others. "How many Muslims are extremists?" Good question! As far as I am concerned, any Muslim that doesn't condemn the hate and violence in the Quran and the violence actions against non-Muslims (you know, the raids, attacks, looting, enslavement and rape) in the ahadith is an extremist. I think that is a fair and rational position. Kactuz No, no, no. Wilder’s film was both appropriate and needed. It is a stand for freedom of speech. You say it insults Muslims? So what?

Yes, we know there are extreme muslim elements and I am personally all for freedom of speech, women's rights and homosexual rights. There are many things that need modernising in all walks of life imo. But it seems to me as if this man is on a deliberate crusade at a time when we should be talking not fighting. The world has largely had enough of warring and fighting. As a westerner in the UK I find Dutch MP Geert Wilders film to come at time when all it can do is stoke up unnecesary trouble.
