Geert Wilders’ movie FITNA, which is critical of Islamic Supremacists, was being streamed at LiveLeak.com. It seemed there was at least one last bastion of freedom on the Internet. But they have pulled the movie due to threats of a "very serious nature."

Unfortunately, I didn’t get the change to view it last night, so when I went to look at it to day, this is what is playing:

It is indeed a sad day when the followers of the "Religion of Peace" are so kind and peace loving they will threaten bodily injury and death to anyone who speaks against them.

UPDATE: I found a version of the movie on the YouTube. I don’t know how long it will last. I’ll try to keep the video link below current, but you just never know.

UPDATE UPDATE: If there are problems with the below vids from the YouTube, FITNA can viewed at "1389Blog - Antijihadist Tech" - where they are hosting it themselves. And I’m pretty damned certain the team at 1389Blog won’t be caving into the Islamic Supremacists and their murdering cohorts any time soon. Oh, and BTW, one my also see the film that got Theo Van Gogh murdered by those "religion of peace" followers.

I don’t know exactly where it is yet. But I’m looking for it. I’ll post a link when I find it. Probably will be on the YouTube by this evening. If anyone out there has a link to it, please let us know.

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands: Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders released a film criticizing Islam and its holy book the Quran on Thursday, posting it on a Web site.

The film took the form of a book, citing verses of the Quran interspersed with images of violence from terrorist attacks in the United States and Spain, and the murder of filmmaker Theo van Gogh in the Netherlands.

The Dutch government had warned Wilders that a film offensive to Muslims could spark violent protests in Islamic countries, like those two years ago after the publication of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad.

Wilders’ film began and ended with one of the cartoons portraying Mohammed. Then it gave the sound effect of a page being torn.

But subtitles assured the viewer that it was a page from a telephone book, because "it’s not up to me, but the Muslims to tear the hate-sowing pages out of the Quran."

After the release, Wilders told reporters he made the film because "Islam and the Quran are dangers to the preservation of freedom in the Netherlands in the long term, and I have to warn people of that."

"It’s not a provocation, but…it’s five minutes before midnight and this is the last warning as far as I’m concerned."

A Dutch judge was due on Friday to hear the petition of a Muslim group seeking an independent review of the film to see whether it violates hate speech laws.

This, I wasn’t expecting. Sure, Google removes from their news-feeds nearly anything critical of the ‘do no evil’ company, and sure they remove from their news-feeds most things that are overtly, and blatantly critical of Islam and/or Muslims in general, but I didn’t expect the company that is, for many, the de-facto registrar of domains in the world to begin a political correctness campaign.

For those that have been in and around the Internet business for more than 6 or 7 years, they’ll remember ‘way back when’ domain names cost upwards of $70 a year, and there was only one place to get them. That place was Network Solutions. Now, in a bold move of appeasement and a grandiose gesture of dhimmitudeness, the great NetSol has suspended the web-site for Geert Wilder’s 15 minute movie. They claim it may violate their terms of service (I am assuming regarding hate speech or incitement to violence or some other such nonsense). Seems many people have complained about the site. I can’t really figure out why. The site consisted of the following:

The site formerly showed the film’s title, "Fitna" ("Coming Soon"), and an image of a gilded Koran.

Now, I fail to see how a site with a movie title and a picture of a Koran could, by any sane and marginally reasonable person, possibly violate the NetSol TOS. Perhaps it does. Perhaps NetSol has a clause in there about not showing a picture of the Koran, or not using foreign language to depict the words "Coming Soon". More realistically, I think, is that the NetSol blue-suits are scared, scared for their lives, and the reactions from the "Religion of Peace" followers if they left it up. It was these self-same, diversity spouting peaceful Muslims after all, that caused so much chaos and mayhem last year with the publishing of the now infamous Mo’ Toons.

It is a sad day when an old (by Internet standards anyway), well established and nearly house-hold name company like Network Solutions sells out in this way. If they were looking to not offend people, they have failed. I know I, or one, am greatly offended at this action. I am hoping and praying that Wilder finds another host for his site, and that 1) his movie does get distributed, and 2) it is translated into English (or at least sub-titled) so I can view it and understand it.

For their kow-towing and obvious subservience to the Islamic Supremacists, I am awarding Network Solutions the honorable "Dhimmi Of The Week" award. Congrats guys! May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your groin, and you’re business go down the tubes faster than Spitzer’s career.

A group of Arab youths in Brooklyn assaulted and beat Rabbi Uria Ohana this week. It all started innocently enough. The Arab teenagers, being teenagers, and Arab, decided it would be funny to steal the Rabbi’s kippa (a/k/a yarmulka) and run off with it.

The Rabbi, being completely in his right, chased the offending youth out of the subway, where the Arab youth ran into traffic and got hit by a car, suffering a broken leg. That’s when the offender’s friends, blaming the Rabbi (natch!) for their friends broken leg, beat and kicked him while yelling "Allahu Akbar" while regaling in their violence.

The cops say that the Arab youths might possibly, maybe could be charge with a hate crime. They cops, in their infinite wisdom, are claiming the Arab youths who beat the Jewish Rabbi, because he is a Jew, while yelling the jihadist phrase "Allahu Akbar" - probably just didn’t know what the phrase meant. Uh-huh. Sure, okay.

If a kid shows a ham steak to a Muslim, he is perpetrating a hate crime. If someone puts the Koran in a toilet, they are perpetrating a hate crime. If someone puts up a poster, on private property, that declares their dislike of Islamic Supremacists, that is a hate crime. But beating a Rabbi, because he is Jewish, isn’t necessarily a hate crime.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not big on the whole hate crime crap to begin with. I don’t believe in them. I believe if one assaults and/or kills another, they should be punished, and that the law should be blind as to why someone did what they did. If they are guilty of murder, or assault, they are guilty of the crime. The why of the crime should not enter into it. What does it matter? The problem is, we have these asinine hate laws, and we don’t apply them levelly and evenly.

In a dissapointing 180 degree turn of sensibilities, the Vatican came out and publically sided with Islam regarding the re-printing of Kurt Westegaard’s cartoon depicting Muhammed with a bomb in his turban.

While I certainly understand the Vatican’s position that calls for respect of all faiths and the like. They have, in the past, issued similar statements when so-called ‘artists’ create their art by putting a crucifix in a jar of urine. Or by creating a portrait of Mother Mary made from fecal matter. However, when was the last time the Church put a bounty on someone’s head for offending Christ?

How much respect can you give a religion, where they stone a rape victim? Where a woman can be killed to maintain family honor? Where simply reading the Holy Bible can get one killed? And where converting to Christianity, or any other religion for that matter, is a certain death sentence?

Sorry, Il Papa, but I cannot, nor will I ever, respect a religion with those ideologies. Those kinds of actions are the antithesis to what God means to me, and what I have been taught, about Him by the Catholic Church.

At least Il Papa could have also issued a statement regarding how wrong it is for Westegaard to have a death sentance hanging over his head for publishing the cartoon. Has the Vatican said anything about that? Not that I’ve heard.

You can see all of the cartoons that stirred the ‘Religion of Peace’ to such a fury here.

The death murder honor killing of 16 year-old Aqsa Parvez seems to have brought out the apologists in droves. In looking at the news coverage of this horrible crime, especially the editorials in the media. I’m not including bloggers here, most of the blogs I have seen have been on the correct side of this whole thing. The side that displays disgust for a father who would rather see his daughter dead than running around in public with her head exposed.

No, these people, the columnists of news papers and the like, present this as something that is bad to be sure, but not really a Muslim thing. They point out that western parents have strife and disagreements with their kids about dress and mannerisms. But of course, when was the last time anyone read about a western father killing his daughter because she wanted to wear what he thought might be clothes too revealing? We haven’t read about that, because it doesn’t happen.

No, this idea of women as expendable - this is not a western idea. The thought that women are to be subjugated and considered as second class, less worthy of anything than a man - these are not western values. Lorne Gunter in the Edmonton Journal posits the question "Was the killing of Aqsa a Muslim act?" Gunter goes to great lengths to point out that parents and their kids have had clashes over changing cultures for generations. In his attempts to apologize for the Islamic Supremacists, he points out that the guy who walked into a church in Colorado last week does not mean all Christians are gun-crazy murderers (I hadn’t even read that the guy was Christian?). He also points out that all teens are not homicidal, even though one shot up a mall in Omaha recently. He portrays the honor killing of Aqsa Parvez as a random, isolated incident. Maybe he thinks of it as something like a car-jacking, I don’t know. He wonders at the folks who are outraged that an honor killing has occurred in Canada, that they seem very quick to jump on the bandwagon that Muslims engage in honor killings just because of this one event. What he misses is that it is not this one event. That the stories of honor killings have been reaching the citizens of the west for decades. That in places like Iran women are not allowed to leave their house without a male family member with them. He does point out that Hindus and Sikhs and other religions also engage in this horrific practice of honor killings. As if that somehow makes it not so bad, almost acceptable, sort of kind of. What Gunter refuses to admit in his column, however, is when the last time an honor killing occurred in a Hindu or Sikh or other community besides the Muslim community in any western nation. Maybe it happened yesterday, or last week or two years ago for all I know. But somehow, I believe if there had been an honor killing in one of these communities, Gunter would have mentioned such in his apologist column.

I’ll present that Aqsa died because she did not want to wear the hijab. Her death murder honor killing, by reason of not wearing the hijab, makes this a Muslim issue. To be certain, there are Muslims who decry this type of violence. But let us face the facts, there are more and more Islamic Supremacists arriving in the western countries, wanting the westerners to kow-tow to their ways of thinking. Wanting the westerners to change their lifestyle and habits based on the Muslim view of the world. This is what has people in an uproar.

Stumble it!

Yeah, right, some choice: Wear it or die!

What kind of people are these? What kind of person would rather see his daughter dead, then dress the way he wants her to dress? The answer is Muhammad Parvez. Parvez and his family live in Toronto. He wanted his daughter Aqsa to wear the traditional Muslim hijab (that’s the head scarf for those not in the know). But she didn’t want to. She wanted to blend in with society. She wanted the freedom that Canada is supposed to give people. She wanted to look and act like the other kids at school.

But that just wasn’t enough for daddy (and her brother, he was in on the whole thing too). So daddy beat his daughter to death. Beat her so badly that he killed her. This, this is from a strict practitioner of the so-called “Religion of Peace”. This isn’t the first time fathers and brothers have beat a woman to death to uphold their family honor. Of course not in the world, but particularly not in what I would call the civilized world.

Back in July I posted about Banaz Mahmod. She was a 20 year old Muslim woman living in England who brought the terrible shame upon her family of falling in love with a man her father didn’t approve of. In response to this terrible shame, he and other relatives put her through a two and a half hour ordeal where she was brutally beaten and raped before finally being allowed to die.

I don’t know that 16 year old Aqsa was put through such torture; although, it would certainly not surprise me in the bit as these ‘religion of peace’ practitioners seem to be very adept at non-peaceful ways. What I do know is that this girl will not see her 17th birthday. She died, was murdered, because she didn’t like to wear the clothes her father wanted her to wear. To her father, it was more important that his daughter wear that fucking hijab, then to be alive.

Tell me again about that whole “Religion of Peace” thing?

It is good to learn new things. For instance, I learned today that there is a government entity which goes by the name of the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF - one would think, with all that tax payer money at their disposal, they could come up with a name that made a better acronym). I didn’t know this group existed. Now, I know what your thinking. Your thinking “F-ing George Bush, making a spending on tax payer dollars on telling other countries how to handle their religion.” Well, chill out there Sparky, because this commission came into existence in 1998 - a full three years before W took office - so blame Billy boy for that one.

One thing I found the USCIRF does is keep an eye on the Islamic Saudi Academy (ISA) over there in Fairfax County, VA. The ISA sits on land owned by the Saudi Embassy, which I suppose would make it soveriegn Saudi territory, but I could be wrong since I am yet a few hours short of my “Bachelors of International Real Estate Affairs” degree. However, the private school does have Americans included in its approximately 1,000 member student body.

The USCIRF is asking the State Department to close down the school (I didn’t even know the State Department had any say in the school system in the US, let alone a private school). USCIRF says the school is telling the kids to go out and kill Jews and Christians, and even Shiite Muslims and other Muslims who are not following the teachings of Islam. But since there are several teachings, I guess it would be the Saudi-approved teaching of Islam. You know, the type of teachings that gave us such proponents of love and tolerance as Osama Bin Laden and most of the 9/11 terrorists. Your basic “Religion of Peace” teachings it seems.

The textbooks, supplied by the Saudis (natch!), it is claimed, say things along the lines of “the hour of judgment will not come until Muslims rise up and kill all the Jews.” In addition, the textbooks call Jews and Christians pigs and apes (but seriously, who cares? sticks-n-stones, right?). All that in addition to discussing how, in general, their god sanctions violence against the Jews and Christians.

I don’t know what the State Department can do about it really. I don’t know that they can close down the school. What they are teaching is wrong, but what can be done about it? If the parents of the children don’t pull their kids out of the school, then they are at least passively agreeing with the violent teachings.

Oh, and oddly enough, CAIR’s website is blatantly silent on this deal. For folks that claim to represent mainstream Muslims in America, they don’t seem to be to worked up about a Muslim school telling the kiddies it is ok to kill Jews, Christians, Shiites, Infedels, fags, trannies and uppity women. I wonder why?

All this, brought to you - once again - by your friendly neighborhood “Religion of Peace.”

The Danes require admiration and respect in this world. It should be recalled that it was newspapers in Denmark which had the cajones to print the now infamous “Mohamed” cartoons which gave cause to the patrons of the “Religion of Peace” to riot and demand the collective heads of the Danes (all in the name of peace, I am certain). Now, they have stepped up to the plate again and have offered State protection to one who is in danger, and not even one of their own.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali was a politician in the Netherlands in 2004. That same year Dutch television aired a short film titled “Submission.” The film was an exposé on the treatment of women in the Muslim world. For this film, a true believer of the Religion of Peach brutally murdered the filmmaker, Theo van Gogh. Attached to van Gogh’s lifeless corpse was a note threatening Ali. Since then the Dutch have offered her State protection. But recently the Dutch government removed that protection, leaving Ali exposed to the perpetrators of the Religion of Peace.

However, the Danes have stepped up and offered her protection so long as she lives in Denmark. Who could ask for more than that? This ladies own country won’t offer her protection, but the Danes will.

Read more about it over at Atlas Shrugs - and a lot more about the plight of the heroine Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
