Dutch anti-Islamic film's Internet site suspended

Mar 23 10:20 AM US/Eastern

 

An American network provider Sunday said it had suspended a website that Dutch MP Geert Wilders had reserved to post his anti-Islamic film, which has sparked wide condemnation and fears of a backlash.

"Network Solutions has received a number of complaints regarding this site that are under investigation," the provider said a message posted on the Internet.

Although his website is offline, Wilders on Sunday insisted he still wants to put the movie "on the internet quickly" but did not specify how.

He also told the Dutch ANP news agency that he would not allow anyone to see the film before it was broadcast.

Until Sunday, his site (www.fitnathemovie.com) had shown the cover of a Koran on a black background with the text: "Coming soon: Finta".

Network Solutions said it investigating whether the website conforms to its guidelines, saying it cannot allow "any material in violation of any applicable law."

This includes material deemed harassing, hate propaganda, threatening, harmful or "otherwise objectionable."

The service provider also cites technical reasons for possibly taking the site offline including "excessive use of services which shall impair the fair use of other Network Solutions customers".

Far-right lawmaker Geert Wilders plans to release a movie attacking Islam and the Koran, despite complaints from religious groups and warnings that it could provoke violent protests around the world.

Wilders said in November that the 15-minute film would show the Koran was a "fascist book", a claim which has already drawn complaints from several Muslim countries, including Pakistan, Indonesia, Egypt, Iran and Afghanistan.

No one has seen the film in its entirity yet but a Dutch paper which has seen some of the opening images from the film, said it shows the cover of the Koran and then images of "a decapitation in Iraq, a stoning in Iran and an execution in Saudi Arabia, where sharia (Islamic law) is applied".

Dutch officials have unsuccessfully urged him to drop the project, fearing a repeat of the violent protests that erupted in many countries when European newspapers printed cartoons mocking the Prophet Mohammed.

Wilders has said that he will release the film "before April 1", posting it on the Internet because he cannot find a broadcaster willing to carry it.

Computer experts have warned that controversy surrounding the movie could cause network mayhem once it is put online, if too many people try to view it at the same time.

Wilders has repeatedly stated that the content of his film will not violate Dutch law.

On Friday a Dutch Muslim association filed a legal claim asking a court to appoint a panel of censors to view the film before it is aired in order to see if there is a reason to ban it.

The court is set to deliver its ruling next Friday but Wilders has said that he would try to release the film before than to avoid having to show it to censors.

Dutch film-maker and polemicist Theo Van Gogh was murdered by an Islamic extremist in Amsterdam in 2004 after he made a short film attacking Islam's treatment of women.

The media in the west are either scared of Islam or agree with it, either way they need to report what Islam is about and stop defending or ignoring what muslims are doing nd saying

I believe they really don't know the truth about the ROP.

I sure didn't until I started studying it after 9/11. That is one reason I post only a few of the most violent passages as often as I can. People must know the truth.

Network Solutions is a nasty company, IMO. I had an opportunity to get in on the IPO, but declined for moral reasons (knowing how they operate). Now I wish I'd participated, dumped the pumped-up shares, and used the proceeds to point out their bad practices. Whether this is just spinelessness or something else, I don't know.

I have a whole server for this guy, plus an offshore registrar. I ain’t scared!!!!!

[auntyfemenist]

You bet it would!

Aren’t Jihad videos sort of critical in an accidental sort of way anyway? I mean, they do speak for themselves in my opinion.

I come from a country which has been bending over backwards at every turn, the country being England.
I came here legally I might add after I left the military as I never wanted my kids to grow up in a place where sharia law and islam is taking over.

Now some might think I am going over the top but believe me their are police forces which now go and tell the local imam they are to make an arrest i.e. giving the community a heads up, thepolice can not go into a muslim home with a dog, they have to take their shoes off before they go into a house, they cannot go into a bedroom or a bathroom as a muslim woman might be there, they cannot arrest the person if they are praying
I kid you not in-fact the no go zones in England are looking now like enclaves , they have burned churches, pubs, etc and yes the media does not report all of this, people have been murdered because they were not muslim and were white.

course the BBC and guardian along with the daily mirror ignore this .

I too looked into islam after 9/11 and was astounded that this so called religion of peace calls for death to non believers infact way over a hundred verses similar to that.

Bin laden and his cronies have said including muslims over 60% have stated that they want to spread Islam and won't be happy until everyone is converted

So yes I tell everyone I can about the dangers of Islam and to me it's not really a religion but more of a cult all based on a man who lived in a cave saying he spoke with God(allah)

It really astounds me that those on the left whether in England or America make excuses and try to put the blame on the west.

Seems Neville chamberlain and Hitler was never looked at to these people for if it was then they would know appeasement is not to peace but to more deaths and destruction
