Threats Force Website to Pull Quran Video
worldnetdaily.com ^ | March 28, 2008 | staff

Posted on 03/28/2008 6:31:44 PM PDT by kellynla

A 17-minute documentary on the Quran, juxtaposing images of Islam's holy book with terror attacks and bombings by Muslim extremists, was taken down from a British video-sharing website, LiveLeak,com, after the organization reported "serious" threats to its staff members.

The documentary had been posted against the wishes of the government of the Netherlands by Geert Wilders, a Dutch MP and leader of the Freedom Party. His video is called "Fitna," an Arabic word meaning strife.

It appeared on the political party's website first, but soon disappeared because of "technical difficulties," reported the London Times. Then it appeared on LiveLeak.com, only to be replaced with an advisory.

"Following threats to our staff of a very serious nature, and some ill informed reports from certain corners of the British media that could directly affect the safety of some staff members, LiveLeak has been left with no other choice but to remove Fitna from our servers," the organization said.

"This is a sad day for freedom of speech on the net but we have to place the safety and well being of our staff above all else. We would like to thank the thousands of people, from all backgrounds and religions, who gave us their support. They realized LiveLeak.com is a vehicle for many opinions and not just for the support of one," the site said.

“The slimedball press in this country will print Abu Grab photos to enrage the Muslims, who will then try to kill our soldiers in Iraq, but in the case of the cartoons it is the press who might get hit, so they avoided printing them. - tom”

It is not just that, it is that printing the cartoons would show some spine and indirectly support the war effort.

Can't have that.

Sarcasm off

This short film is available for download at the Pirate bay.
No way it will ever disappear from the internet.

I come from there and believe me things are bad there.

Those elected haven’t the guts to say anything for fear of being brabded a racist

so a political party was formed and it said or from what I have heard and read that they britian to remain british as they say.

They do have Indians jews etc in the party but they say muslims need to understand that Britain has it’s laws already and it’s not the koran

They would stop immigration etc from those countries

they are branded racist and even though at every election they gain more power and more seats in paliamnet the left tried to close them down

Of course there are many in the left what do not see anything wrong but here’s the problem they do not understand same as here

the libs believe in soft sentences, want gays etc muslims do not and at the moment the libs are helping muslims but when muslims become a majority then the libs will not have a word and they will be the first to be closed down off the muslims

it really doesn’t make sense why libs make excuses for muslims and not realise it’s many muslims who hate libralism

In the end they are helping those who want to hurt them and hurt what they believe in

seems the likes of nevlille chamberlain and appeasement has not be taught to them still even after what has happnened in history

ah I rememeber this

the likes of the NY times said it would not print the cartoons as they thought it was offensive to many who follow a religion yet ran stories and pictures of the virgin mary in cow dung.

yet again double standereds and hypocrisy prevail from the left

the author of the video has just been proved right

we get told religion of peace yet everytime they hear or see something they do not like they use or threaten violence to silence

and the left helps them

the left will get a big wake up call when they allow those who hate lib view get a foothold through the lefts appeasements

They know they are safe. They bully and beat up on those that will not stand up to them gaining more and more ground. Eventually there will be war between the Muslim religion and the rest of the world. Bet China doesn’t cave into them and no one dare say anything to China.

I’m just waiting for the next muzzie bombing in America.

And then every muzzie swinging dick will have to pack up his koran & family and go back to whatever hellhole they originated from.

Our ancestors didn’t risk life & limb to emigrate to this country just so a bunch of camel jockeys could come here, terrorize our women & children and make hamburger out of our families!

It angers me to no end how all the apologists continue to say they are not a problem.

Granted, our laws don't apply elsewhere, much less our rights. That said, our very own leftists rant on about freedom of speech, but become amazingly silent when things like this are blocked.

The video is actually pretty tame compared to what it should be...

There is also no reason why anyone with a computer can’t slap together some of the tons of available downloadable footage into something similar to Fitna using Windows Movie Maker. Why let the Dutch take the point on this? 9/11, eh? The Jihadis are flooding the wires with videos of IED’s, beheadings, sniper attacks, etc. Any reason we can’t reciprocate?

Greetings.

I found and downloaded an AVI of Fitna from this site: http://rs227.rapidshare.com/files/102884813/GW_F_EN.avi

The sound is a bit fuzzy at the beginning, but it played fine on Windows Media. I am impressed with the film. All Wilders does is to take what Islamofacists have said and put it into its proper context, namely, mayhem, murder, destruction, and the elimination of Western Judeo-Christian thought & faith. I cringed at the part with the little girl talking about Jews. Poor kid, growing up like that.

The NYT never has a bad word to say about the muslim pigswill in our midst, but is critical of the documentary’s creator, Geert Wilders.

“For more than two decades, Mr. Wilders, the controversial anti-Islam member of the Dutch Parliament, has dyed his hair a provocative — some say extreme — platinum blond.

The color makes him stand out in a crowd, not terribly practical for someone facing periodic death threats from Muslim extremists.

But Mr. Wilders has built a career — and a new political party — on a risky and defiant outlandishness that encompasses everything from his hairstyle to his anti-Islamic rhetoric.”

The NYT should pay less attention to his “outlandishness” and listen to what he has to say about the lower life forms that want to kill us!

Outlandishness? How?

All Wilders does is show actual Muslim words and acts and passages from the Koran. That is the beauty of what he has done. Save for a few exhortations at the end (defend freedom!), that’s all there is to the video.

Even the village idiot should be able to connect the dots. Unfortunately, unlike the village idiot, most liberals have had the common sense educated out of ‘em.

It is spreading in Japan now, too...doing an internet word search for Fitna フイトナ. They could care less what the Muslims think. They dont want that kind of violence and terrorism on (relatively safe) Japanese soil
