Intimidation and censorship are no answer to this inflammatory film

By Timothy Garton Ash (THE GUARDIAN, 10/04/08): At the time of this writing, the dissemination on the worldwide web of the deliberately provocative anti-Islam film Fitna, made by the Dutch populist MP Geert Wilders, has not provoked violent protest on the scale of the Rushdie affair or the Danish cartoons. If things remain this way, that is progress of a kind. In the meantime, three questions need to be asked about the film, which anyone can find by googling “wilders” and “fitna”. The first is “Should Mr Wilders be murdered for making it?” That’s what some demonstrators outside the Dutch embassy in Indonesia called for, waving banners saying “Kill Geert Wilders”.
