Network Solutions Suspends Site of Anti-Islam Film

h4rm0ny notes the furor over an anti-Islamic movie due to be released on the Web in the next week. After Pakistan disrupted YouTube worldwide over an interview with right-wing Dutch MP and filmmaker Geert Wilders, Network Solutions, acting as host as well as registrar, has suspended Wilders's site promoting the 15-minute film "Fitna" (a Koranic term translated as "strife"). The site now displays a notice that it is under investigation for possible violations of NetSol's acceptable use policy. According to the article the company's guidelines include "a sweeping prohibition against 'objectionable material of any kind or nature.'" The article describes the site's content before NetSol pulled the plug as a single page with the film's title, an image of the Koran, and the words "Coming Soon." No one but Wilders has seen the film to date. The Dutch government has distanced itself from the film, fearing Muslim backlash. A million Muslims live in The Netherlands. Wilders's party, which controls 9 of 150 seats in the Dutch parliament, was elected on an anti-immigration platform.

Lets be clear about something. Most muslims, as in an overwhelming majority, don't want to have anything do do with violence.

According to surveys, the majority of moderate muslims aren't against the violence against "infidels". They may not be actively involved in the violence, but they support it.

Note also, that most muslim violence is directed against other muslims

The number of attacks is split about even against muslims and non-muslims. More muslims are killed because each attack tends to have more casualties.

Yes there is a problem with poor levels of education

And who's fault is this? The middle east is buried in oil money. They could build universities that rival the best the West has to offer. Instead, they build reglious schools and mosques so they can teach that all their problems are because of evil Americans and Jews (I suppose American Jews are double plus evil).

but if we are to be honest, christians do the same thing quite often

How many Christian sects are urging their followers to blow up people? There have been a few, but they are incredibly rare. Contrast this with the religion of hate. It's one thing to preach non-believers are going to hell. It's another thing to urge your congregation to hurry the process along.

I discussed the muslims with a friend who spent a considerable amount of time in the middle east (numerous countries). It's his opinion that one of two things are going to happen. Either islam will become more tolerant or islam will cease to exist because the West will finally become fed up with the murder and hate and deal with it in a rather violent fashion on a grand scale.

The latter sickens me. However, if it came down to a choice between being subservient to islam or wiping them out, well, call me evil but let loose the dogs of war. The stated goal of islam as preached in their MODERATE mosques is the subjugation (with force) of the entire world to sharia law. I don't intend to go along with that plan.

When will the Council of Imams (the only real ruling body of that religion) denounce the violence against civilians? They won't denounce it because the terrorists are doing exactly what they want.
