Weathering a maelstrom of controversy, Geert Wilders’ cinematic warning
about Islamism has finally made it to cyberspace. The path it’s taking
may be more interesting than the film itself; Wilders’ domain www.fitnathemovie.com
was frozen by Network Solutions, the movie was removed from host
Liveleak.com’s servers after threats against its staff and then
restored, the Dutch courts were reviewing a petition claiming that
Wilders is guilty of hate speech, and Dutch firms are threatening a lawsuit
against the embattled legislator if they’re hurt by a boycott of their
products. Yet, while most find fault with what the film explicitly
presents, I take issue with something implied.
I’ll preface my critique by saying that I give Wilder’s great credit.
No one wants to be the next Salman Rushdie, or, worse still, Theo Van Gogh
— or the next "hate speech" law casualty — so I laud his bravery.
Having said that, his movie nevertheless reflects the very secularism
that rendered us susceptible to foreign ideological domination in the
first place.
