"Wag Ware"

- San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Dutch MP Geert Wilders' rumored "anti-Quran" film has set off a wave of hand-wringing and hysteria in Holland.
The announcement by the head of the Freedom Party that he planned to make a film showing that the Quran is "an inspiration for intolerance, murder and terror," has sent Dutch government and security officials scurrying to design contingency plans in the event riots break out upon the release of the film.
Sociologist Peter Vasterman, a specialist in media hype commented, "The film has taken on a mythical character. Everyone already has the idea that it will be shocking and that the images will go all over the world." [source, http://www.ad.nl/binnenland/article1979691.ece]
Theo Vught, jury chairman of Holland's highest marketing prize stated that "[Wilders] has time and time again created momentum for his story. Whether film comes out or not, everyone is talking about it."
According to the Dutch newspaper, Volkskrant a 20-page secret government memo was being circulated about the cabinet and embassies worldwide. The plan allegedly details evacuation procedures and instructions to Dutch living outside Holland to be alert for the first signs of trouble.

Dutch police have increased their presence in Muslim areas of Holland and have had discussions with imams and other Muslim representatives, cautioning calm.
A letter from the Director General for Security was sent out to the country's mayors, warning them to be vigilant for the first signs of trouble and offering help with "scenarios" for dealing with expected unrest. [source, http://www.militantislammonitor.org/article/id/3318]
The Contact Organ for Muslims and the Government in Holland has warned that fatwas could be issued against Dutch interests abroad if the film is to be shown. [source, http://www.ad.nl/buitenland/article1979702.ece]
Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende has said that "We are ready to react quickly, it is our role to be prepared for calamities."
Wilders did not reveal the content of the apparently unfinished work, but commented that "Now that everybody is already in a state (over the film) I see it as a confirmation that I should go ahead. I would not be worth a button if I were to capitulate now." [source, http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5iGKrjDg9E1ysvy0E13_yHoKNRnSQ]
Throughout this controversy, though much has been made of Dutch "tolerance," that term is open to interpretation.
In an article entitled "Lack of Self Respect" Theo van Gogh - who was slaughtered by Islamist Mohammed Bouyeri in 2004 because he believed van Gogh's film "Submission," slandered Islam – equated Dutch forbearance with cowardice.
"If something characterizes the so called "Dutch identity" it is a sheepish lack of self-respect, which expresses itself in a teeth-chattering panic at the prospect of being labelled "racist" or "discriminatory." [source, http://www.militantislammonitor.org/article/id/349] The hysteria around the Wilders film seemingly goes a long way in proving van Gogh's point.

Viking Jihad? !!!!!
There soon will be a whiff of fatwa in the air.
Funny stuff to be enraged by this and not not by the appearance of the Koran filmed documents.
YYYYYeeeessssss!!!!! Here’s hoping that the film gets dubbed in English so the rest of us can view it too.
I believe you posted something on this awhile ago.
It’s time to declare a jihad on political correctness - seriously!
The Dutch seem to be the only people in the civilized world who have the courage to expose the two faces of Islam. See this Dutch documentary at the link below and all will become very clear.

Muslims overreacting to something critical of Islam. Why am I not surprised?
Forgive my ignorance but what makes the film stop and start? In just the first 10 seconds of play, the film stopped 4 times.

And, the downside would be????
It’s well past time for these inbred imams to drag their cult, kicking and screaming, into the 21st Century.
A suitable alternative would be eradication of the whole lot of them, IMO.
This film can’t be more shocking than the reality of what these terrorists and their supporters do all the time.
Kudos for Geert Wilder. He is risking life and limb to wag ware by using the pen which is indeed mightier then the sword. Get over it ignorant Muslims ready to die for Jihad reading this forum. We are landing rovers and mars and exploring the outer limits of dimensions where God exists while you still fart around with this global caliphate nonsense. Like a God who can creates universes really needs your help to kill the rest of us? No wonder we are going to have to kill all of you off and nuke Mecca in the end. What a shame and I mean that. What a shame and waste of life that will be.
It sounds like you have a low-speed connection to the internet or an underpowered pc, The fact that it does play at all means you are 99% there.
Yes and it’s getting a hot item, even Iran now threatened us hehehe.
ONOZ, you mustn’t make Imadinnerjacket angry.
This should be a must watch for all!
