Geert Wilders published Fitna
In the Netherlands, Geert Wilders published on the Internet his highly charged and much-anticipated anti-Koran 17-minute film titled “Fitna”, Arabic for civil strife.

The first 10 minutes of the film consist of a compilation of video fragments showing the victims of terrorist attacks in New York, Madrid and London. This is interspersed with translations of verses from the Koran and recordings of Islamic leaders calling for violence against non-believers.

In the last five minutes, Wilders focuses on Islam in the Netherlands. There are images of blocks of flats dotted with satellite dishes, policemen removing their shoes before entering a mosque, recordings of preaching and a selection of newspaper headlines.
