Exclamation Wilder's Fitna: We're All Jews

"Anti-Islam film Fitna online
"by Theo Tamis
"27-03-2008
"Geert Wilders' anti-Islam movie has gone online. The film, titled Fitna or 'Ordeal' or 'Strife' in Arabic, shows verses of the Qur'an alternating with graphic scenes of recent acts of terror: the 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers in New York, the charred bodies of train passengers in Madrid, gruesome images from atrocities in London and Somalia..."

LiveLeak pulled Fitna from its servers because of threats made to the site's staff. The film is powerful and worthy of consideration. Surely, someone downloaded it and can put it back up...

Excellent!

The irony in this episode: Fitna documented Islamic cruelties against competing religions and secularism. And the very tactics described in the film were the reasons for its removal from the first site! The Mullahs smirk, we take another loss in territory and influence...

One solution is that of getting the film on hundreds of servers.

Cool Re: Wilder's Fitna: We're All Jews

Fred,

Thanks!

I noticed that Wiki has a full-page on Fitna...not bad for something only a few days old! And, according to Wiki, the Czech servers will host the movie...once more, I hear the signal, "This is Radio Prague..."

I find Fitna now listed at: http://www.unitedamericancommittee.org/ and at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitna_%28film%29

Cool Re: Wilder's Fitna: We're All Jews

My son, in third grade, was regularly chased home from school, and if caught, his shoelaces were tied together. His mother may not have know of this and it was not his stepfather's problem to solve. Thus, my words, "I will pay you $10 for every bloody nose you bring me."
----------

Hitler's department heads demanded that the Jews turn over their clothes, furniture, homes, and money...all Hitler had to do was to give the order (Aly, 2005). Hitler also, by means of taxes, redistributed income from the elite strata to the middle class. The frau, for the first time in a decade, could buy ham, wheat, and butter.

Stealing from Jewish cooperators led to ever more demands on them. Hitler's bureaucrats wanted apartments, private homes, and furniture for German families displaced by Allied bombs. Hitler wanted to be sure that German's did not pay the costs of their new war.

New orders were issued and the least defiant peoples on this planet, given an order, reported to the train station and marched into box cars where they experienced days in an unheated box with 150 other people, without room to sit or to fall, and without water, a bathroom, food, or knowledge of where family members were. The cars unloaded at Auschwitz and all the guards had to do was to give an order and 95 percent marched docilely to their deaths. (Such outcomes are as selective as any flood or geographic isolation and might qualify as an "evolutionary bottleneck.")

Hitler eventually used up all that he stole. He next sent the German army into Austria, Czechslovakia, Poland, France, and Russia wherein the Germans set exchange rates between marks and native currency. The effect: German corporals and privates could pay more for a ham or a cheese, clothes, perfume, or a picture and send it home to their mother or wife. Those deals and steals led to caravans of gifts from a conquered land to the homeland.

Not all Jews were cooperators: those who could pass themselves as Polish or German escaped from the ghettos and disappeared or perhaps migrated south and east. Those migrants, however, were a self-selected crew. Was Israel the product of non-cooperators, willing to lie, steal, and fight their way to a new life? And have the socialist persuasions - genetic or cultural - that gave in so easily to Hitler now surrender easily to Palestinians?* And does nutty George use Condi and do to the Jews what the Germans already did and reasons of legacy rather than justice?

As for my kid: I paid one sawbuck, for perhaps the best purpose imaginable. His problem was solved and I felt remarkably free...

*Hitler chose his targets well. Michael Wex explains that Jews are the special people of a Messiah who is in no great hurry to return! Degradation proves their value to God. And they handle their thicket of rules by endless debates over the best strategy for doing what they want to do.

Aly also challenges the staid notion that WW I reparations pushed Germany into WW II. The issues could have been more ones of pride...but being poor will unite any people. Progressives smell power and stir up the hive by means of disasters. From this perspective, good news is definitely bad news!)

Default Suicide Machines

The least awful publicity goes with letting the patient pull his or her own plug. An easy goal if the individual sees no connection between him or her and the future. As a talented geek argues elsewhere, suicide is about apoptosis and depression is a companion but not a driver....


"From The Times
"March 29, 2008
"Death for hire - suicide machine lets you push final button
"Roger Boyes in Berlin
"One press of a button and you can end your life with a swift injection of potassium chloride. That is the boast of Roger Kusch, once one of Germany's most promising conservative politicians and now the improbable promoter of a mercy-killing machine.
"If the "Perfusor", designed to sidestep strict laws banning assisted suicide, goes into production then Germany rather than Switzerland could soon become the destination of choice for those seeking to kill themselves.
Some 700 patients, including several terminally ill Britons, have travelled to Zurich where the self-help organisation Dignitas arranges suicide. Assisted suicide has been legal in Switzerland since 1942 providing a doctor has been consulted and the patient is aware of the consequences of his decision.
"But Dignitas has come under fire for with suicide techniques. According to video evidence presented to the Zurich state prosecutor, patients have been placing plastic bags over their heads and feeding in helium gas."

Default More Fitna

Pathogens have predictable strategies: the most effective is to provoke little to no distress in the target, the immune system "recognizes" the invader as part of self, and does not react when the invader massively increases its activity. Breznitz compared these strategies to the "little boy who cried wolf." He only gets attention a time or two and then is ignored. Happens often with germs, happened already in Europe, possibly incubating now in Detroit, Dearborne, and Jersey City.

The film is available at:

Exclamation "Fitna" again...

One of my favorite hosts and a criminal defense lawyer, Jeffrey Lichtman on WABC radio (770AM, or wabcradio.com), this morning passionately warned us of Islam's dangers. "I would rather be dead because I stood up rather than live on my knees." And James Taranto addresses this vanished topic in the Wall Street Journal, one brought back on stage by current events at the Taj.

"Our Culture Is Better"

"To his admirers, Mr. Wilders is a champion of Western values on a continent that has lost confidence in them. To his detractors, he is an anti-Islamic provocateur. Both sides have a point.

"In March, Mr. Wilders released a short film called "Fitna," a harsh treatment of Islam that begins by interspersing inflammatory Quran passages with newspaper and TV clips depicting threats and acts of violent jihad. The second half of the film, titled "The Netherlands Under the Spell of Islam," warns that Holland's growing Muslim population -- which more than doubled between 1990 and 2004, to 944,000, some 5.8% of the populace -- poses a threat to the country's traditional liberal values. Under the heading, "The Netherlands in the future?!" it shows brutal images from Muslim countries: men being hanged for homosexuality, a beheaded woman, another woman apparently undergoing genital mutilation."

Fitna can be seen at http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...02968312745410.

Exclamation Re: Wilders Banned from UK

Thomas Paine had a similar problem...even when it was time to bury him.

"Dutch Parliament Member Geert Wilders, whose film "Fitna" warns that Islam is threatening Western civilization, now has been banned from the United Kingdom.

Wilders had been invited to Britain for a special private screening of "Fitna" for Parliament in what already has been a controversial event because of challenges to his right to show the film."

See also at National Review:

"Free Speech Is Great, But...

"Across the West we see efforts to restrict free expression of political ideas related to immigration. We're familiar with what's been happening in Europe: not only the Muhammad-cartoon riots in Denmark, but more recently a court in Holland applying Saudi blasphemy rules to a local politician. There was also a U.N. resolution passed in December prohibiting defamation of Islam with the goal of making such defamation a crime under international law.

"Accusations of 'Islamophobia' have been used as a cudgel to shut down debate even in Canada, where Islamic groups have used the law to try to silence National Review's Mark Steyn and others.

"We are seeing a similar dynamic here. Obviously, the challenge that immigration-driven multiculturalism poses to free speech here is the decaf, low-calorie version of what Europe and Canada face. The cultural distance between our society and the bulk of our immigrants is much smaller than in Europe, and we have a much stronger sense of ourselves, which has resulted in more success in getting newcomers to assimilate.

"But decaf or not, the challenge of multiculturalism is real."
