Geert Wilders (born 6 September 1963) is a Dutch politician. He has been a member of the Tweede Kamer (Dutch House of Representatives) since 1998, first for the liberal People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy and from 2006 for the Party for Freedom, a party which he founded and of which he is the political leader. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Referring to the increased population of Muslims in the Netherlands, Wilders has said:
“Take a walk down the street and see where this is going. You no longer feel like you are living in your own country. There is a battle going on and we have to defend ourselves. Before you know it there will be more mosques than churches!”
Later, Wilders suggested that Muslims should “tear out half of the Koran if they wished to stay in the Netherlands” because it contained ‘terrible things’ and that Muhammad would “in these days be hunted down as a terrorist”. These statements caused strong reactions in Muslim countries such as Tunisia, Morocco, and Saudi Arabia.

Fitna is a film by Geert Wilders, leader of the Party for Freedom (PVV) in the Dutch parliament. The movie offers his views on Islam and the Qur’an. The film’s title comes from the Arabic word fitna which is used to describe “disagreement and division among people”, or a “test of faith in times of trial”. The movie was released to the Internet on 27 March 2008.

Reaction after the release of the movie
The reaction was partly mild in comparison with what was expected, with some Muslim delegates describing it as “not as jarring as anticipated”, saying they were “extremely relieved”. A worldwide violent reaction is not expected by several sources, in stark contrast with threats made by Islamic leaders in the months before the release of the film.[73][74][75]
In a televised reaction following the release, Mr. Balkenende, Prime Minister of the Netherlands came with a reaction on behalf of the Dutch government.[76]
Amongst other things, it stated:
“The film equates Islam with violence. We reject this interpretation. The vast majority of Muslims reject extremism and violence. In fact, the victims are often also Muslims… …We therefore regret that Mr Wilders has released this film. We believe it serves no purpose other than to cause offence.”[76]
Dutch parliamentarians of the largest political parties, Pieter van Geel (CDA), Mariëtte Hamer (PvdA) and Mark Rutte (VVD) stated that it is sad that the film does not present any solutions to current problems in the Dutch society - integration of Muslim immigrants and Muslim extremism - and invited Mr. Wilders to discuss possible solutions in the parliament.[77]
According to Der Spiegel, a speaker for a Muslim organization, Yusuf Altuntas, said that Wilders “is obviously looking to push the limits, but he resists crossing them.” For instance, in the film a ripping sound overlaid with imagery of the Qur’an is said to be the ripping of a page from the phone book, and thunder sounds are replacing what might otherwise be perceived as bomb explosion sounds. The Arabic expert Leo Kwarten on the other hand is quoted to have said that “these subtleties may however be lost in the Arabic world.”[36]
Kurt Westergaard, the cartoonist of one of the Jyllands-Posten cartoons of Muhammed, has expressed concerns because his cartoon is used in the film without his permission, a violation of copyright.[78] The Danish Union of Journalists has said it will file a lawsuit on Westergaard’s behalf as he is still in hiding from the death threats against him.[79]Westergaard says his cartoon was aimed against Islamic terrorists, not against Islam as a religion.[80]
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon issued a statement on March 28 condemning the film as “offensively anti-Islamic”, “acknowledge[d] the efforts of the Dutch Government to stop the broadcast of this film”, adding that “The right of free expression is not at stake here” and “Freedom must always be accompanied by social responsibility”.[81][82]
On March 25, in a statement on its website, the Czech National Party offered to screen Fitna if it were to be banned in the Netherlands.[83]
LiveLeak.com, where Wilders originally released the film, removed the video of the film from the Liveleak servers on March 28th following threats to Liveleak staff.[84][85] They released the following statement on their frontpage and in the video:

Following threats to our staff of a very serious nature, and some ill informed reports from certain corners of the British media that could directly lead to the harm of some of our staff, Liveleak.com has been left with no other choice but to remove Fitna from our servers.
This is a sad day for freedom of speech on the net but we have to place the safety and well being of our staff above all else. We would like to thank the thousands of people, from all backgrounds and religions, who gave us their support. They realised LiveLeak.com is a vehicle for many opinions and not just for the support of one.
Perhaps there is still hope that this situation may produce a discussion that could benefit and educate all of us as to how we can accept one anothers culture.
We stood for what we believe in, the ability to be heard, but in the end the price was too high.[86]

The Norwegian government (Labour Party) sharply distanced itself from the movie.[87] Secretary of state Raymond Johansen from the Norwegian Foreign Ministry said in a statement to the newspaper Dagsavisen that “Wilders attempts to promote a content which contributes to hatred and suspicion. I profoundly disagree with the content, and I sharply distance myself from it.” (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
