Fitna to be tied

Have you heard about this?

Fitna, Arabic for "strife" or "disturbance", is the work of filmmaker and Dutch Member of Parliament Geert Wilders.  Wilders point is clear: Islamist terror is neither a distortion nor a departure from Koranic teaching.  Terrorists are following the instructions of the Koran to the letter.

Unable to find a Dutch television channel brave enough to play the video, Wilders went to the internet.  But even the internet-based world premier of Fitna was temporarily blocked by fearful Internet registrar Network Solutions.  This is the first time any website has been peremptorily removed from the allegedly free-flowing internet. But after its producers found another web host willing to stand up to Islamist retaliation, Fitna is finally available on-line. You can view Fitna here in English and it is available at a variety of other sites, so it is not going away sson.

Within two hours, 1.5 million people had viewed it in either English or Dutch. By the time you read this, who knows?

I find it interesting how the very people who are quick to defend Jeremiah Wright on the basis that his hate-filled rhetoric contains nuggets of truth are the very people who'd rather none of us saw Fitna.

It's an upside down world people.

Seriously.

It seems to me that these people who want Fitna to be suppressed are in a constant state of adolescence. It's normal for an adolescent to want to recreate the world the way they want it and scheme and do and believe while trying. I've seen it in my kids.

And it's not that one should outgrow trying to make things good and better, etc., but one learns how to be more effective than throwing fits and other such silly behaviors, including calling names and trying to shush people who have a different opinion whether they're right or not.

Ah, the delights of perpetual, scowling adolescence.
