I’ve decided to join the crowd of those that have a copy of Fitna posted. I’ll wait to see if I too get some persuasion from the “Religion of Peace” to remove it.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has condemned the video as an “offensively anti-Islamic film”, “hate speech” and “incitement to violence.”
Following is the text of the statement by UN SG Ban Ki-moon on the film Fitna:
I condemn, in the strongest terms, the airing of Geert Wilders’ offensively anti-Islamic film. There is no justification for hate speech or incitement to violence. The right of free expression is not at stake here. I acknowledge the efforts of the Government of the Netherlands to stop the broadcast of this film, and appeal for calm to those understandably offended by it. Freedom must always be accompanied by social responsibility.
The United Nations is the centre of the world’s efforts to advance mutual respect, understanding and dialogue. We must also recognize that the real fault line is not between Muslim and Western societies, as some would have us believe, but between small minorities of extremists on different sides with a vested interest in stirring hostility and conflict.
It baffles the mind to think that pointing out that Islam has violent roots in the Quran is considered an “incitement to violence”. If it’s untrue then how is it inciting violence from such a “peaceful” religion?
It’s sad to see the LiveLeak video pulled due to threats of violence along with a few others around the net. However, it’s encouraging to see the growing number of sites that have it posted in spite of (or perhaps due to) the threats and censorship elsewhere.
