The Dutch PM's fears of violence in reaction to Geert Wilders' Movie actually proves Geert Wilder's point. That the Koran is a "fascist" book that incites violence. The question is, who will the Dutch PM blame for the violence? Geert Wilders or the rioting 'youths'? Reuters

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende said on Friday he had warned European leaders of a possible backlash against European interests over a Dutch video which criticizes the Koran.
Right-wing parliamentarian Geert Wilders, who says the Koran is a "fascist" book that incites violence, plans to show the 15-minute film this month despite appeals from the Dutch government and mounting unrest in the Muslim world.The Netherlands raised its national risk level to "substantial" earlier this month ahead of the film's release.
A movie does not threaten peace. People flying planes into skyscrappers, blowing themselves up in subways and killing people in the name of Allah threatens peace.
A Dutch diplomat said the movie could "trigger fierce reactions" which could spread to other European countries.

Dutch businesses fear a loss of trade in Muslim countries and Dutch embassies are braced for attacks.
Wilders -- the target of death threats on Islamic militant Web sites -- has given few details about his film. He said last week he was disappointed no Dutch broadcaster wanted to show it.
[...]
Criticisms and warnings against broadcasting the movie are coming from one Muslim country after another. Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, said on Friday the film could derail inter-faith dialogue and threaten peace.

Bedankt! Well said. That'll be great if there's no rioting,
how very mature that would be. Geert Wilders is a hero telling the painful truth.
Definitely show it in Denmark ASAP.
All freedom starts with freedom of speech.
If there is no freedom of speech, there will be no freedom.
The Christians and Jews don't riot when somebody makes fun of Christ or Jews.
People must learn to be civilized. Rioting MUST not be tolerated.

absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
let yourself be bullied
never shoot rioting thugs
let them threaten you at will
.
absurd thought -
God of the Universe says
appease religious wackos
even those like Nazis
NEVER point out their faults
