Dutch People Sorry for Fitna
Dutch people eager to dissociate themselves from the anti-Quran film Fitna have taken to the web to apologize for the controversial video.Hundreds of Dutch citizens have uploaded videos to YouTube showing themselves holding signs with apologies for the film. In other anti-Fitna clips, the subjects simply say the words, “I’m sorry.”
Fitna, a 17-minute film by Dutch politician Geert Wilders, juxtaposes passages from the Islamic holy book with graphic footage of terrorist attacks in the United States and Europe. In one scene, the sound of paper ripping can be seen as a reader pages through the Quran.
A website called Sorry for the Film encourages users to upload photos of themselves to indicate they do not support the views propagated in Fitna. Mediamatic, a technology collective based in Amsterdam, posted instructions for making “Sorry Fitna” videos.
This is a good move. Appreciate that.
I’d love this quote.
Pathetic. Being Dutch,a horrible feeling is creeping upon me,can it be true ,that you people actually are siding with fundametal islam,ready to sell out the rights and freedom we’ve gained throughout the centuries?I fear no islam,I fear you,you backstabbing cowards.Feel free to sell out your scary bodies to Mohammed but not mine.

UPDATE March 2, 2008: IHT: Indonesia seeks to block YouTube over anti-Koran film
Indonesia’s information minister, Muhammad Nuh, has written to the video-sharing Web site YouTube asking it to remove the film, said Cahyana Ahmadjayadi, the ministry’s director general for information technology.“Our efforts include asking Internet service providers to block access to YouTube. They have started doing it now,” Ahmadjayadi told Reuters.
Users subscribing to an Internet service provided by the country’s largest telecoms company, PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia, said they could still access YouTube.

They kinda have to do that, you know. I think what they feel right now is that lots of people misinterpret the message of that movie as Dutch hates Moslem. And the movie said, Moslem hates Dutch.
So right now, what moslem (like me) can do is work together with people of dutch to counter the negative image effect of this movie.
But as used to, FPI and their yaba-yaba more concentrates on throwing and burning things up. I don’t know if it’s the only thing they can do, but it’s definetely not helping for the positive image of moslem right now. :(

They said Wilders’ Fitna on the web is some form of victory of free speech. Yet here we see that they who talks loud about it are advocating restraint of free speech when it comes to discussion of Iraq and global violance. The film itself is is 100% an appeal to emotion. It is not based on any academics, historical, theological or geopolitical study. That being said, the argument of Islam being inherently violent is not convincing.

many moslems, including me, not too experts about how to be the real moslems are. that’s why there are many dumb acts by most FPI members. CMIIW.

Some Dutchmen still have their balls and sense of humor.
