Geert Wilders Fitna is still in the news weeks after it’s release. Without even touching on the 4,000 radical Muslim women protesting Fitna last week, there will soon be five Muslim films available in response to Fitna. The Saudi’s have already released one (or two according to some sources), Iran is planning two, and Pakistan is shooting one. Read the stories below.
Iran to counter Dutch anti-Islam video with two documentaries
Tehran – Iran is to counter the anti-Islamic video Fitna (Discord) made by Dutch legislator Geert Wilders with two documentary films, Fars news agency reported Monday.
The Iranian films are titled Reply to Fitna and Beyond Fitna and aimed at what the filmmakers call neutralizing the “plot” by the Dutch against Islam.
The two Iranian filmmakers have also declared their readiness to have a debate with Wilders over his film.
Tehran has condemned the anti-Islamic video, terming it “insulting and anti-Islamic” and symbolic for the “deep antagonism” of some Western states towards Islam and Muslims.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry last month summoned the Dutch ambassador to Tehran to lodge a protest against Wilders’ video. (dpa)
PESHAWAR: The United Nations (UN) should implement the Pakistani Senate resolution against the Dutch film, ‘Fitna’, which has hurt the sentiments of Muslims across the world, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Babar Awan said on Sunday….
Awan said he would also make a film, ‘Difa-e-Quran’, in response to ‘Fitna’, adding that the movie would be released in five international languages – English, Arabic, Urdu, Persian and French. “It will be released on the 1st of Ramazan,” he added.
He requested Muslims across the world to suggest a name for his film, saying that the movie had temporarily been named as ‘Difa-e-Quran’. “A Rs 100,000 cash prize will be given to the person whose suggested name is selected,” he said, and asked those interested in the contest to mail their suggestions to his Senate office.
Only Muslims? Why can’t non-Muslims submit a name and claim the cash?
Difa-e-Islam shooting starts this week
ISLAMABAD: People’s Party leader, Senator Babar Awan has said that the shooting of his film `Difa-e-Islam’ (In defense of Islam) would start on Thursday, which in substance would be a rejoinder to the film against Islam, made in Holland.
According to a private TV channel, Senator Babar Awan said that the
Holland’s film `Fitna’ was made for stoking clash between East and West, under the cover of so called “Clash of civilizations,” by presenting a wrong perception about the Holy Quran. He said that the film would be shot in Pakistan and abroad.

Shucks, they most likely would not like the names we would give their film.
It’s a disgrace to any country that has any resemblance or claim to freedom to deny Wilders film.
IMO, the UN is a joke.

good job fatimah – defend the quran and the terrorists who kill in the name of allah
if muslims like you would stop wasting time trying to convert infidels and convince us the islam is truly peaceful and spent your time and effort convincing your fellow muslims to stop killing infidels and muslims in the name of allah – maybe you’d get some respect
the longer you keep defending jihad and terrorism the less respect you’ll get…
Where is the site similar to this one for non-Muslim religions?
