re trying hard to push for the desperately needed reform of numerous aspects of Islamic law, here comes the Bush administration in support of constitutions espousing the very things we’re trying to eliminate.

Ha empleado las caricaturas de Mahoma sin permiso de sus autores –y algunos le van a demandar– y cree haber incluido la foto del asesino de Theo van Gogh, cuando el que aparece en el documental es un cantante de rap.

Watch: "One Muslim Leftist's time could have been better spent!", by Robert Spencer The reaction of Muslim moderates to Geert Wilders's film Fitna is in many ways just as illuminating as that of their fiercer coreligionists. In "The Fitna Farce" in The Guardian's "Comment Is Free" blog, Ali Eteraz, with whom I've had several exchanges in the past, and whom I have not found to be a completely forthright or honest debater, yawns at the film, complains superciliously about "

And, as expected, the UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon, condemned the “offensively anti-Islamic film” and claimed, unconvincingly, that, “the right of free speech is not at stake here.” In the Guardian, Ali Eteraz described Fitna as “an effort to turn the entirety of Islam into a demonic edifice” – which may or may not be Wilders’ personal view, but is a somewhat loaded reading of the film.

Geert Wilders is an unashamedly racist dick, and going out to learn about Islam through his movies is a lot like going to Menj's website to learn about Christianity. Ali Eteraz has seen it, and has the best response of anyone I've read so far.
