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."

We cannot keep caving into their demands or they WILL rule the world. IF they can’t stop free speech they want to kill the one who wrote it. They probably do anyway. Koranimals are pure evil.

“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.

The movie “Fitna” needs to be shown before the whole world, and let a court debate on whether or not this film is truth.
The world really does need to know. So somebody, go ahead and sue.

Can anyone tell me what part of this video isn't true?????
I just watched it again and as far as I can see it is 100% accurate. They accurately quote the Koran. They show very real pictures of modern islam converting by violence. They show actual footage of the way muslims treat their women with trust and respect. One of them even held up a womans head just to show us how much he values it. (her body was not attached but that is just their way of showing love)
WE are in the beginning stages of a religious war. The islamic world knows it and freely admits this fact. The western Christian world doesn't want to let the reality get any press time.
Reality is that either we will kill them or sit on our butts and wait for them to kill us. The UN would have us sit and die. Europe is already under violent attack. We need to get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the USA!!!! The next crusade is just around the corner. I have one comment about a false statement on the video. There has never been a single minute in time when islam ruled the world. Not ever, never has this been true. It is an islamic lie.

They don’t menion if the film is truthful or not. That’s always beside the point. Otherwise they would flaunt its innacuraciies and claim it’s proof that all muslims are peaceful.
To: edcoil
I find the U.N. “offensively anti-American.” I’ve never heard Ban whine about that.

"Freedom must always be accompanied by social responsibility" It's not the Muslims' fault that they behave the way they do, it's the fault of those that notice and comment on it. Good thing a brilliant and brave guy like you is in charge down there, Mr. Ban.

[Ban] appealed for calm to those "understandably offended by it." Imagine the UN Sec. "appealing for calm" after the release of an anti-Christian or anti-Jewish film. Wouldn't need to, obviously. Perhaps the Islamic apologists should ask themselves why.

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.
