In the Netherlands, right-wing Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders has provoked controversy by announcing that he is producing a 10-minute film about the Quran that will portray the Muslim scriptures as a "fascist book" that incites violence and that promotes intolerance of women and homosexuals. Some reports say that Wilders rips or burns the Quran on camera in the film. The AP reported yesterday that Wilders has not yet found a broadcaster willing to air the still-unfinished film. He says he will post it on the Internet if he can find no other outlet for it. Wilder's party holds nine of the 150 seats in Netherlands' Parliament. The Independent today says that the Dutch government is preoccupied with concern about the fallout that might result from the film. Prime Minister, Jan Peter Balkenende, issued a statement saying in part: "The government is preparing for the possible repercussions that the broadcast of the film could have, internationally as well as domestically." Imams are being encouraged to preach calm at services today, while cities have been put on alert. An article in yesterday's American Muslim analyzed possible reactions to the film.

I am getting sick and tired of Islamofascists trying to interfere with our western freedom of expression. First they brutally kill van gogh and now they dictate to us what to write in a book ?These new age fascists who are products of Islam and its instructions of violence are now trying to interfere with our free expression rights. This is so typical instead of focusing on creating something they try to block our creativity. Dear dutch government please tell these guys to either live by western laws of freedom of spirit, thought and word or else go home where their laws prevail. They have to be taught to respect the core of our free western heritage. They cannot sit in western countries just to get paid in Euros and dollars and basically have no respect for the land. We are not here to feed and nurture islamofascim and abide half baked caveman ideas.
I SLAM ISLAM DO YOU ????????????????DO IF YOU HAVE SPINE TO STAND UP FOR THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF EXPRESSION OUR FOREFATHERS LABOURED TO EMBELLISH OUR WONDERFUL COUNTRIES WITH , SlAM EVERY SINGLE THING THAT THREATENS FREE THOUGHT OF ALL INDIVIDUALS.
In the Name Of Allah, The most compassionate, the merciful. O Allah send your blessings to the head of your messengers and the last of your prophets Mohammed, and his pure and cleansed progeny. Also send your blessings to all your prophets and envoys.
I have selected from sayings of Imam Ali (A.S.) (Amir AL Mu'minin) from his great book NAHJ AL Balaghah and that was approximately 1400 years ago: i advise all those who still live in the darkness and wants to be enlightened to read that book and the glorified Quraan if they want a win win situation in the life and in the after life!
Sermon 160: "You should follow your prophit, the pure the chaste, may Allah bless him and his descendants. In him is the example for the follower, and teh consolation for the seeker of consolation. the most beloved person before Allah is he who follows His prophit and who treads in his footsteps. He took the least (share) from this world and did not take a full glance at it. of all the people of the world he was the least satiated and the most empty of stomach. The world was offered to him but he refused to acceppt it, when he knew that Allah, the glorified, hated a thing, he too hated it; that Allah held a thing low, he too held it low; that Allah held a thing small, he too held it small. If we love what Allah and his prophit hate and hold great what Allah and his prophit hold small that would be enough isolation from Allah and transgression of His Commands.
The prophit used to eat on the ground, and sat like a slave. He repaired his shoe with his hand, and patched his clothes with his hand. he would ride an unsaddled ass and would seat someone behind him. If there was a curtain on his door with pictures on it he would say to one of his wives, "O' such- and-such take it away, out of my sight because if I lookn at it i recall the world and its allurements." Thus, he removed his heart from this world and destroyed its remembrance from his mind. He loved that its allurements should remain hidden from his eyes so that he should not secure good dress from it, should not regard it a place of stay and should not hope to live in it. Consequently,he removed it from his mind, let it go away from his heart and kept it hidden from his eyes. In the same way he who hates a thing should hate to look at it or to hear about it".
Sermon 183 : "Praise be to Allah who is recognized without being seen and who creates withouttrouble. He created the creation with His Might, and receives the devotion of rulers by virtue of his dignity. He exercises superiority over great men through his generousity. It is he who made his creation to populate the world and sent towards the jinn and human beings his messengers to unveil it for them, to warn them of its harm, to present to them its examples, to show them its defects and to place before them a whole collection of matters containing lessons about the changing of health and sickness in this world, its lawful things and unlawful things and all that Allah has ordained for the obedient and disobedient , namely paradise and Hell and honour and disgrace,. I extend my praise to His Being as He desires His creation to praise Him. He has fixed for everything a measure, for every measure a time limit, and for every time limit a document".
A part of the same sermon about the greatness and importance of the Holy Qur'an: "The Qur'an orders as well as refrains, remains silent and also speaks. It is the proof of Allah before his creation. He has taken from them a pledge (to act) upon it. He has perfected its effulgence, and completed through it His religion, He let the Prophet Leave this world when he had conveyed to the people all his commands of guidance through the Qura'n.You should therefore regard Allah great as He has held Himself. great, because He has not concealed anything of His religion from you, nor has He left out anything which He likes or Which He dislikes, but He made for it a clear mblem (of guidance) and a definite sign which either refrains from it or calls towards it. His pleasure is the same for all time to come.
You should know that He will not be pleased with you for anything for which He was displeased with those before you, and He will not be displeased with you for anything for which He was pleased with those before you.You are treading on a clear path, and are speaking the same as the people before you had spoken. Allah is enough for your needs in this world. He has persuaded you to remain thankful, and has made it obligatory on you to mention Him with your toungues".
371 "There is no distinction higher than Islam: no honour more honourable than fear of Allah; no asylum better than self restraint; no intercessor more effective than repentance; no treasure more precious than contentment; and no wealth is bigger remover of destitution than being satisfied with mere sustenance. He who confines himself to what is just enough for maintenance acheives comfort and prepares abode in ease. Desire is the key of grief and the conveyance of distress. Greed, vanity and jelousy are incentives to falling into sins and mischeif-mongering is teh collection of all bad habits.
Sermon 106: "Praise to Allah who established Islam and made it easy for those who approach it and gave strength to its columns against any one who tries to overpower it. So Allah made it (a source of peace for Him who clings to it, safety for him who enters it, argument for him who speaks about it, witness for him who fights with its help, light for him who seeks light from it, understanding for him who provides it, sagacity for him who exerts, a sign (of guidance) for him who perveives, sight for him who resolves, lesson for him who seeks advice, salvation for him who testifies, confidence for him who trusts, pleasure for him who entrusts, and shield for him who endures. It is teh most bright of all paths, the clearest of all passages. it has dignified minarets, bright highways, burning lamps, prestigous field of activity, and high objective. it has a collection of race hourses. it is approached eagerly. its riders are hounorable. testification (of Allah, prophet etc.) is its way, good deeds are its minarets, death is its extremity, this world is its race-course, the Day of Judgement is its horses and paradise is its point of approach".
"The prophit lighted flames for the seeker and put bright signs for the impeded. So he is Thy trustworthy trustee, Thy witness on the day of Judgement, Thy deputy as a blessing and thy messenger of truth as mercy. My Allah distribute to him a share from Thy Justice and award him multiples of good by Thy bounty. My Allah heighten his construction over the constructions of others. honour himk when he comes to thee., dignify his position before thee, give him honourtable position, and award him glory and distinction, and bring us out (on Day of Judgement) among his party, neither ashamed, nor repentant, nor deviators nor pledge-breakers, nor strayers, nor misleaders, nor seduced.
A part of Sermon 108 about the holy prophet mohammed : "Allah Chose him from the lineal tree of prophets, from the flame of light, from the forehead of greatness, from the best part of the valley of al- Bat'ha' ,from the lamps for darkness, and from the sources of wisdon. the prophit was like a roaming physician who has set ready his ointments and heated his instruments. He uses them wherever the need arises for curing blind hearts, deaf ears, and dumb toungues. He followed with his medicines the spots of negligence and places of perplexity".
Sermon 158 "Allah deputed the prophit at a time when there had been no prophets for some time. People had been in slumber for a long time and the twist of the rope had loosened. The prophet came with (a Book containing) testification to what (books) were already there and also with a light to be followed. It is teh Qur'an. If you ask it to speak it won't do so; but I will tell you about it. Know that it contains knowledge of what is to come about, stories of the past, cure for your ills and regulation for whatever faces you".
"Learn the Qur'an for it is the fairest of disources and understand it thoroughly for it is the best blossoming of hearts. seek cure with its light for it is the cure for hearts. Recite it beutifully for it is the most beutiful narration. Certainly, a scholar who acts not according to his knowledge is like the off-headed ignorant who does not find relief from his ignorance; but on teh learned the plea of Allah is greater and grief more incumbent, and he is more blameworthly before Allah".
I think that Bush administration and Israel and the whole nations who are supporting them in killing muslims all over the world to reip them off and steal our Oil and resources are the real Fasciests!! By the way, Bin ladin and saddam, the iraqi former preseident does not represent Islam! Those terrerists killing people visiting the holy places in Iraq and bombing the graves of the prophit Mohammed's family(a.s). Read about Islam and prophit Mohammed instead of attacking without knowing anything!! we muslims love all prophits including Jesus and Mosis. we never attack prophets its a huge sin to do so and definitely those who attack any prohphit that was sent by Allah s/he is going to be tortured in the life and in the afterlife!
Anyone here who is interested in reading books in Dutch about discovering Islam i would be honored to tell them where to get it.
Saudi Arabia doesn't allow bibles or christianity to be taught.
Anyone that leaves Islam and is caught is executed.
Slavery still exsists in many Islamic countries...
Women have their genital mutilated and are imprisoned in their homes. They are beaten and raped at will and are murdered. They have no legal rights and can't even drive. Honor killings ring a bell?
Dhimmitude is apart of EVERY Islamic countries law to this day. So new christian and jewish churches are prevented from being built. They may have to wear special clothing to signify their status as "people of the book" "kiffar" Can't ring church bells or let our prayers be heard.
Islam means "submission"
I have read the koran and I understand that the muslim is permitted truces while they gather strength to resist. That warfare is deception. I know that the only true way to ensure entry into heaven is to kill an infidel in "jihad" and while reading I couldn't find anything about mercy for infidels... I did read about mercy and compassion but curiously it was only reserved for other muslims...
I know that there is to be "peace" ONLY after islam covers the face of the world.
Have you ever really studied your "prophet"? Know that he married a six year old and then had sex with her at age nine? Sounds like a pedophile to me... He encouraged the killing of jews and christians until it was more profitable to just take their money.
Murder, rape, theft is okay in allahs name huh?
The Crusades... Did you know that they began AFTER muslims conquered ALL of Spain. Attempted to invade France twice and destroyed the Byzantine Empire? So you can spare me the BS about christians starting this whole mess. Also the Jewish people controlled Israel for over a thousand years before it was taken by muslims.
I don't know who you think you are fooling but your religion is twisted. I would love for you to tell me where freedom and equality is ensured for all under sharia law?
Also as far as I am concerned their are no huge demonstrations about how your religion of "peace" oops I mean SUBMISSION has been hijacked by a few extremists... So if you all can't stand up to a FEW and police your own you are no better and are cowards yourselves.
As for me I am a christian and will never submit.
Jesus says choose.
allah says subit.
I choose JESUS.
