As Geert Wilders sees it, Dutch and European politicans behave as if they want to protect the members of all religions against insults and abuse, all the while overlooking the fact that it is usually the members of one religion who respond aggressively whenever they are accused of having a propensity for violence.

Network Solutions has not made specific comment about the possibility of the documentary being hosted on their servers, but a number of reports suggest they are prepared for possible DOS (Denial-of-Service) attacks.

Mr Wilders has already said that if this were to be the case, his film would be premiered on the Internet. The website which will show the piece has been online since Wednesday.

The government is warning that the latest film, due to be released this month by Geert Wilders, might spark unrest and sanctions similar to those triggered when Danish newspapers published a cartoon of the Prophet Mohamed in 2006. [Ironically, this is exactly what the movie is about: Koran-inspired violence].

The website for the anti-Qur’an film Fitna by Geert Wilders is online under the name fitnathemovie.com

Terrorism network Al Qaeda has reportedly issued an order to kill a Dutch lawmaker who plans to release an anti-Koran film in March — thus confirming that Wilders’ view of Islam is correct.

Iran has suggested that it will boycott Dutch products if MP Geert Wilders shows his Koran film in March as planned.

Geert Wilders, the popular Duch MP whose film on Islam has fuelled the debate on race in Holland, wants an end to mosque building and Muslim immigration.

Geert Wilders said he has called the film Fitna, an arabic word that in Islam is used to describe all things that can test the faith and is sometimes synonymous to evil.

More threats from the ‘religion of peace’: Dutch soldiers serving with Nato in Afghanistan will face new threats if their country allows the broadcast of an anti-Islamic film, Bozorgmehr Ziaran, Iran’s ambassador to the Netherlands, has said.

Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf said that Wilders sent it the 10-minute film’s opening scene to prove he is making it. Delays in airing the film had led to media speculation that it may have been a hoax.

A senior Iranian lawmaker warned the Netherlands on Monday not to allow the screening of what it called an anti-Islamic film produced by a Dutch politician, claiming it “reflects insulting views about the Holy Koran.”

Counter-terrorism alert as a Dutch right-winger launches a movie that will denounce the Koran: The Dutch government is bracing itself for violent protests following the scheduled broadcast this week of a provocative anti-Muslim film by a radical right-wing politician who has threatened to broadcast images of the Koran being torn up and otherwise desecrated.

Tensions are growing over the expected release of a film by Geert Wilders, leader of the right-wing populist Freedom Party. At the end of last year Mr Wilders announced he was working on a film about the Koran as “a source of inspiration for intolerance, murder and terror”. Dutch ministers have apparently been holding secret meetings about the film for some time. They are concerned about its possible repercussions in the Netherlands and abroad. [video]
