UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Friday condemned as "offensively anti-Islamic" a Dutch lawmaker's film that accuses the Koran of inciting violence.

Ban acknowledged efforts by the government of the Netherlands to stop the broadcast of the film, which was launched by Islam critic Geert Wilders over the Internet, and appealed for calm to those "understandably offended by it."

“They” will never have free reign on US soil. We have too many guns.

The American male could be looking sheepishly now, but I believe we would fight to the last man to keep this cancer from taking root here.

I agree, but don't count American women out. I've got guns and I'll use them if I have to. I should say "when I have to." There's not much doubt that it's coming. It's just a matter of time.

How is it anti-Islamic? All the movie shows is muslims in action and what is being preached in their mosques.

Now lemme get this straight.

We're supposed to care what the UN thinks? The UN, who sits on its collective hemerrhoids while parts of the world languish in genocide, thinks a mere 15 minutes of movie is wrong, hateful, and shouldn't be shown? Spin on it, UN. Screw you, UN. Smeg off and die, UN.

I feel better now. For those who HAVEN'T seen Fitma, I found it in downloadable form on http://rapidshare.com/files/102884813/GW_F_EN.avi.

Islam is offended by the truth. Why do you think they’re outraged so often?

"There is no justification for hate speech or incitement to violence," Ban said in a statement. "The right of free expression is not at stake here."

Possibly the weirdest public statement ever issued.

The film contains footage of muslim radicals inciting followers to commit violence. Ban does not condemn this incitement.

Because the film has depicted these muslim radicals inciting violence, the filmmaker is threatened with death. Ban then condemns the filmaker for inciting the muslims to threaten the filmaker's life.

Weird, I tell you.
