These Dutch bigots are just hate mongers like the Nazis of the previous generation.

There are not enough Jews left in the Europe to pick on so they go after the Muslims instead.

They are martyrs for truth - not suicide bombers dying for fairy tales designed to drug the masses.

People all over the world have got to let the Muslim world know that they will not tolerate them threating death to anyone that upsets them.

Maybe if they just had some good pies they would think more clearly.

The Iranian government has intervened to try to stop the screening of a film in the Netherlands about the Koran.

The Iranians say that the film, by the Dutch member of parliament Geert Wilders, is offensive.

The Iranian justice minister, Gholam Hussein Elham, wrote to his Dutch counterpart, Ernst Hirsch Ballin, calling for a ban.

Mr Hussein Elham said freedom of speech should not be used as a cover for attacking moral and religious values.

''Freedom of expression''

Mr Wilders says his film will show the Muslim holy book is an inspiration for murder.

But the Iranian justice minister says it is an unnecessary attack on what Muslims regard as the holiest of things.

He said the motivation behind the film was satanic and urged the Dutch government to stop its screening.

Mr Wilders has already been advised that he may have to leave the country for his own safety.

But the government has so far refused to intervene, saying the issue is one of freedom of expression.

In 2004, the Dutch film director, Theo van Gogh, was killed by a Muslim extremist in an Amsterdam street after bringing out the film Submission.

It dealt with the issue of abused Muslim women and included scenes of nearly naked women with Koranic texts engraved on their bodies.

demslie....It is indeed interesting that you seem to assume that all democrats are atheists. Could you please site your source for that claim? And as you are so pro-life, how many unwanted children are you supporting? Those who are truly pro-life are out there doing everything they can to PREVENT unwanted pregnancies. Education is the answer to abortion and you people seem to have an aversion to educating people on how to practice effective birth control. If you are so intent on protecting the unborn fetus maybe you should consider what to do with the child once it is born. Life does not stop at birth.

Amadinejad disputes the extent of the Holocaust and the Zionists use of it for political purposes. This is particularly ironic in that Israel has been governed since its inception by the Jabotinski factions which collaborated with the Nazis, most spectacularly in the the betrayal of the Hungarian Congregations to the Nazis for the Zionist leaderships safe passage to Palestine.

The irony extends to the fact that Hitler had the support of Anglo-American capital associated with the Harrimans and Bushs. But the greatest irony, I think, was, if memory serves...I believe it was Montague Norman head of the bank of England who, in words reminiscent of Ariel Sharon''s boast to Cabinet members regarding Jewish control of America, ''We control Hitler.'' (I believe this quote was in one of Edwin Black''s books...may have been in another along with the commemorative coin of top Nazis visiting the Palestine Zionists with a Swastika on one side and the Star of David on the other.)

There is more history to the Nazi rise to power than either the Anglo-American Oligarchs or the Zionists want people to know--and this history will not go away to satisfy the myth-makers who celbrate either Zionist innocence or Anglo-American benevolence in world affairs.

According to Iran the holocost never happened. The Arab world did not publicly dispute that statement. I don''''t understand all the fuss because Muhammad never existed either. Neither does Allah

How come the Muslims in the USA aren''t as nutty & violent as the ones in the rest of the world? Worrying about a teddy bear that a teacher named Muhammad or a cartoon. Whether or not a woman is wearing a head scarf. Making women walk around covered so you can even see their eyes. They need to get a life. They''re consumed by Islam.

"gkc99, Islam forbids suicide killings. The Mullahs interpretatin of Quran lead to this monstrous acts by few individuals. It is the same thing that we experience in US, like Pat Robertson wanting to nuke Department of State as they give out contraceptives in Africa to prevent AIDS. "--Posted by zia


Perhaps, perhaps not. However one huge difference is when Pat Robertson makes his absurd and hateful statements, a lot of other people in the US jump all over him, criticize him. Where is this from the so-called "moderate Muslims"? Where is the public resistance to these few extreme mullahs? We certainly don''t see it. Are you all so intimidated by these fanatics you are afraid to speak up? Or do you secretly agree with them?

People in the US make fun of Jesus all the time. There was a movie called "Life of Brian" by Monty Python (British) that was one long satire about Jesus.

Nobody gets their head sawed off with a kitchen knife for it. And the religious extremists get answered all the time--just check out the postings on this board. Too bad in "Muslim lands" all dissent is viciously suppressed.

The Danes are going on a rage of Muslim baiting.

Bigots think that kind of thing is impressive and fun.

Actually it''s vile and corrupt.

Too bad so many people in Europe and here approve of hate speach, writing and cartoons - now, as in the past.

Nothing really has changed except the target of the abuse.
