FROM THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

HEAD: Anti-Koran film goes live on Web

AMSTERDAM -- Holland's prime minister roundly condemned the anti-Muslim film
"Fitna" on Thursday within hours of its appearance on a Web site in the
Netherlands.

The country's cabinet went into a crisis meeting directly after the "debut"
of the controversial film by right wing politician Geert Wilders as police
formed a security cordon around the Dutch Parliament building in the Hague.

"Fitna" links verses of the Quran to a background of violent images from
terrorist attacks.

Wilders had been unable to get his film posted on the Web or broadcast, but
at 7 p.m. Dutch time Thursday his political party PVV put a link to the
15-minute short on its Web site. English- and Dutch-language versions were
posted at www.pvv.nl via a link to LiveLeak.com. No TV channels aired the
film.

What would be the domestic reaction if someone made
a movie using quotes from the bible advocating violence
and murder? Does anyone really think the Koran is unique
in this respect?

GE 6:11-17, 7:11-24 God is unhappy with the wickedness of man and
decides to do something about it. He kills every living thing on the
face of the earth other than Noah's family and thereby makes himself
the greatest mass murderer in history.

EX 9:22-25 A plague of hail from the Lord strikes down everything in
the fields of Egypt both man and beast except in Goshen where the
Israelites reside.

EX 12:29 The Lord kills all the first-born in the land of Egypt.

EX 21:20-21 With the Lord's approval, a slave may be beaten to death
with no punishment for the perpetrator as long as the slave doesn't
die too quickly.

EX 32:27 "Put every man his sword by his side, and go in and out from
gate to gate throughout the camp, and slay every man his brother, and
every man his companion, and every man his neighbor."

EX 32:27-29 With the Lord's approval, the Israelites slay 3000 men.

Of course the Koran isn't unique in this respect. ALL of
the popular religions have been bent to violent purposes
over the years (except Buddhism, but that's not exactly
a 'religion' in the conventional meaning). There are
passages in the xian bible, especially the old testament,
that can be taken as a dictum for outright genocide.

IMHO, if a religion isn't "general purpose" - ie can't
be bent to fit circumstances and political ambition -
then it fades away.
