1. Behind every bastard a whore !!
(04.05.08)
2. We've been waiting...
Matan ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (04.05.08)
...to see how they were going to blame Israel for this...and now we know. Amazing, that despite a swath of evidence that Islam is not a religion of peace ("How dare you say that we aren't a religion of peace, we're going to fire bomb three churches and kill a nun to prove to you how peaceful we are!") and that Israel has every right to exist, there will be people that sympathize with their 'cause'.
3. Maybe it is the truth of Islam.
John ,   Raleigh   (04.05.08)
Seems incredible that after years of terror attack no one has noticed that the terrorist all seem to be Muslims. Instead after each attack we get the obligatory "Islam is a peaceful religion." I think they protest too much. They seem to be noticing the connection to Islam for they don't say "Judaism is a peaceful religion" or "Christianity is a peaceful religion." I guess there is no one to convince. Finally, someone makes a connection between Islam and terror and puts a film out and its the 'Great lie of Western liberal democracy'. Maybe it is the truth of Islam.
4. Israel is behind everything
USA   (04.05.08)
according to these backward, third-world freaks spreading into every corner of the earth and plaguing our world.
5. Radicals really Children in Adult Bodies
Dan ,   Titusville, FL USA   (04.05.08)
When will the liberals of the West wake up and realize that Radical Arab Muslims are children and we need to deal with them in that fashion. It is time to spank them. As children they complain about everyone that they think is talking about them behind their back. But the larger question is what is a Muslim and who decides who is called a Muslim. If being able to recite verses from the Koran unable to understand the words makes one an Arab Muslim then radical Arab Muslims admit they are illiterate but cannot be considered a Muslim as they have no fundamental understanding of Islam. Additionally can someone explain how these radical Arab Muslims can use their hand for their personal hygene but then call bacon unclean?
6. Hamas makes a cartoon showing a child stabbing Bush.
petra ,   usa   (04.05.08)
Unbelieveable hypocricy! First the Danish cartoon, and now this one from Holland expressing what most non muslims feel. If they would choose NOT to be terrorists, there'd be no more of these 'films'. Why can they make and show a murderous cartoon and no one can show or tell the truth re: violent muslims?
7. He's five days late...
Michael ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (04.05.08)
For April Fool's Day. It's amazing how these Muslim clerics can find ways to blame Israel for everything... I wish that they would put 1/10 the effort into bettering their people's lives...
8. He must be reading my Ynetnews&Haaretz talkbacks!!
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (04.05.08)
9. "The Zionists"
realist   (04.05.08)
Seems like conspiracy theories are all what's left of Islam.
10. Behind these 'satanic acts' can be found:
Red Temple ,   White Mtn.   (04.05.08)
An Eeville and clandestine union of gay crane elevator operators
11. if Israel is behind the film
jerome ,   basalt, co   (04.05.08)
then good for Israel and way to go!!! It was a well done and very true film.
12.  If you can't accept criticism don't dish it out
Sheila ,   Jerusalem Israel   (04.05.08)
Why is it that the Arab States freely condemn and threaten Western States yet the moment they are criticised they scream racism. They display abhorrent cartoons yet threaten cartoonists with death. If you can't accept criticism don't dish it out
13. I suppose Zionists wrote the Qur'an?
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (04.05.08)
14. Iran - Just eat it
Johnny ,   Stockholm Sweden   (04.05.08)
And you can keep yapping like puppies for all your life, it won't change a thing.
15. re terry
Matt   (04.05.08)
Unfortunately no. If only Mohammad had listened to the Jews of Arabia, rather than slaughtering them, Islam today might not be such a hate filled, backwards religion. Of course, if he had listened, I guess there would be no Islam at all. Only imagine...
16. #3
gamba & pilpel   (04.05.08)
CNN and BBC showed a statistic like two month ago, which i saw on tv together with a friend: 96% of all terror attacks in the world are made by "islamists" (muslims!), and they we're counting a number of somthing above 220'000 terror attacks since the 1970's. then they split it to groups in terms of 'how many were killed' and what 'ages' and 'sex', etc. it was actually very intresting seeing the facts on the screen in numbers... and no matter how you put it, it just show's that there's deffinetly something wrong with the islamic religion. the other 4% were terror groups like the ETA of spain, the FARC of colombia and some others with different backgrounds. but 96% is a huge number, 96 is actually a "round 100"... that means, if you want, you could blame all of it on muslims if you want. the funny part about all this fuss, is that the world kind of "looking away". lots of people, especially jewish people, have noticed how the tension is always focused on israel, no matter even if innocense was proven, the hate and the critics are always aimed at one nation. it's funny to see "human rights watch" and other "activists" and especially the "UN" (united doing nothing) jumping up and down crying out loud everytime israel is defending herself from those who seek her destruction. but when terrorists kill 8 KIDS in a school, all of them are quiet and maybe if we're lucky they will write a letter of "condemnation". to all beloved israelites: don't bother thinking the whole situation will get better sometime, because it wont. you're on your own. don't trust nobody, nor listen to anyone. do your thang and think positive. cheers!
17. Israel and Geert Wilders fime
I.Kemp ,   Nhariya Israel   (04.05.08)
Israel behind the film ?! I wish it was but no chance with an Olmert Govt ! What a GREAT FILM because it tells Islam as it is; one reason why the EU governments are incontinent with fear and paralysis and because of their appeasement they have lost their "kingdoms "
18. to gamba &pilpelet

19. Geert Wilders said himself that
Zeal ,   Zionist America   (04.05.08)
he would rather live in Israel than in the Netherlands and he claims open ties with the Mossad; I believe he visited it 40 times. I would agree that the cleric is quite correct.
20. Zionist takeover in Netherlands not confined to movies
Chanalau, Tova ,   London, UK   (04.05.08)
The flower and food import/export business at Schipol is also being run from Tel-Aviv; how else would truckloads of Israel produce flood Europe's high streets. How else would Israel be able to supply anonymously half the continent's flower market. Zionist control spreads malignantly whilst the rest of the world sleeps.
21. Khatami's got it wrong
Hunt S. Cross ,   England   (04.05.08)
if he doesn't agree that the truth about his beliefs is revealed through the Koran. Even Wilders believes that much.
22. #15 Matt - Those sneaky Zionists ...
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (04.05.08)
Maybe Islam is a Zionist plot aimed at preventing Arabs from making any progress? Looks like it worked. LOL
23. Prophecy
American Christian   (04.05.08)
Wow. This is like watching prophecy from the Bible happening before my eyes. The Persians blaming the Jew? Wow. When the Persian soldiers go to fight against Israel--God will send down fire and brimstone on them. It is destiny. Thousands of years ago, the true God prohesied through his Jewish prophet what would happen. Who knew that Persia would not like Israel? Who knew tjhat there would be an Israel? Why, the true God, the God of Israel. Allah did not know anything.
24. The reaction of Muslims proves the validity of the movie.
Adam ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.05.08)
It's obvious that his movie is a masterpiece. The Muslims reacted in a violent way, and that pretty much shows how accurate this movie is. Hats off to Geert.
25. # 19 Which Islamic Site Claimed That?
Thomas   (04.05.08)
26. @25, the arab european league... yawn
(04.05.08)
27. Hold your horses
Libneniyyeh ,   Beirut/Canada   (04.05.08)
Before you have your Roman holiday over this 17 minute flick, and assuming there are at least a few people amongst you honest and skeptical enough to see the reality of the situation. Regardless if this clip owes its making to zionist brains (or lack thereof) or not - that is not really important. What is important and glaringly obvious is the following: 1- The producer has linked the incidents of bombing, "jihad" and violence carried out by Islmamists to certain verses in the Holy Koraan. Is he an expert on religion? What about his own religion? Every verse in the Koraan is so laden with meaning and is extremely difficult to understand. Taken out of context, dehistoricized, read partially and incompletely, the verses have been twisted by him. Plus, he has selected a few clerics who preach death and destruction. He has shown a side of a coin, but it is a tin coin. In other words, he has purposefully disregarded all the rest of the Koraan, all the truth of its writings and the Ahadeeth. He has disregarded the hundreds and hundreds of moderate, wise, and truthful clerics who speak a completely truthful message. he has shown something that is not Islam at all. And no matter what you choose to believe, no matter how few the people remaining who truly hold on to the true values...this is not Islam. And there is but one God. Religiously speaking, the Koraan acknowledges all religions, and is so clear and obvious. You are a disbeliever if you do not believe in the God of Jesus, Moses, Abraham. The God of Mohammad. The God of everything and everyone. If you see yourself in this category of unbelievers, then you dont believe in God. It is so ridiculous to quibble over something so obvious. Yes, terrorism must be fought. And not by the west, but by those voices that preach justice, goodness and kindness. Here in Canada I see Canadians converting to Islam everyday. Is it because they are threatened by a sword? Forced? Affected by nutcases blowing themselves up? No. It is because they have read the Koran with a clean heart, without prejudice. And they have seen in it a truth and reality that today's world is sorely lacking. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj6sBGD1QXI&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dK00xTkMGO0&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anwn54d9fGc&feature=related
28. The usual laughable rhetoric from Iranian "clerics"
Noam ,   Boca Raton, FL   (04.05.08)
Just as Israel is behind all the sectarian strife in Iraq, just as Israel is responsible for 9/11, just as Israel is responsible for the 2 million plus heroin addicts in Iran, just as Israel is responsible for the earthquake that decimated Bam a few years ago. Did this Khatami "cleric" note that Jewish organziations in Netherlands were among the most vocal in condemning fitna, or does that reality contradict his reprehensible worldview? Get a life and start preaching faith and morality to your people, not hatred and gross falsehoods.
29. The 'blossoming of Islam'??
Cameron ,   USA   (04.05.08)
Methinks 'trainwreck' would be a more apt description.
30.  I am curious as to what you make of Christian Zionists?
Yaakov Sullivan ,   NYC   (04.05.08)
Indeed, sometimes it appears that Zionist wasn’t “chosen” by God, but rather Satan. And it has been well-rewarded for accepting his overtures. It’s interesting, though, how Christian Zionists see the Jews’ worldly success as validation that they are chosen by God, even though that success has wrought so much destruction for Christians and Christendom. I am curious as to what you make of Christian Zionists? If Christianity is the antidote to “the Jewish problem,” then why have the Christian Zionists, who range in the millions of American Christians, been so easily co-opted by organized Jewry? Why have the Evangelical Zionists, along with Jewish-American Zionists, become the primary enablers of the Judeofascist enterprise?
