The Irony Of Radical Islam

March 28, 2008 · Filed Under Islam, Opinion

Dutch Lawmaker Geert Wilders finally released his short film yesterday which depicts Islam in a less than flattering light. While the depiction is indeed less than flattering it also happens to be true and accurate which radical Muslims vehemently deny.

The ironic thing is that the film depicts Islam as a violent religion that is incompatible with democracy and western ideals. It uses powerful imagery to show the murderous nature of radical Muslims and their desire to make Islam the only religion in the world.

Yet the same Muslims who are protesting the film and denying the charges made in the film are also calling for Geert Wilders to be killed.

I’m just not sure how one can claim Islam is not a violent religion while at the same time calling for the death of anyone who insults it.

Geert Wilders is absolutely correct that the spread of Islam in the west must be stopped. Anyone who cannot see the danger in allowing an ideology which calls for murder over a few cartoons to spread is simply asleep at the wheel.

The fact that LiveLeak had to remove the film from their servers hours after its release because of death threats to staff speaks for itself.
