A Dutch parliamentarian who believes Islam’s massive global growth is feeding on the worldwide fear of denouncing the violence-based religion, this week did what few men have had the courage to do, and confronted it.

After Holland’s national television stations refused to air his film, “Fitna” (Arabic for “strife” or “ordeal”) out of fear of a Muslim backlash, Geert Wilders posted it on the Internet on March 27, and within hours millions had flooded in to view it.

Within 24 hours, however, that site, LiveLeak, had dropped the film, saying it had been left with “no choice” after members of the website staff were threatened.

Israel’s Arutz 7 website dismissed the threats and screened the film.

The film shows images from just of the countless acts of Muslim-perpetrated terrorism that have been inflicted against enemies of Islam in recent years.

Included are scenes from the 9-11 attacks, the bombing of trains and buses in London and Madrid

Wilders (45), who founded and leads the right wing Freedom Party, had to fight to find an Internet outlet for the film, but finally secured a spot on the British video-sharing site LiveLeak.

The film has also been mirrored on a number of other sites, with bloggers and other supporters vowing to keep duplicating it in cyberspace to ensure that it is never taken down.

Wilders who describes his production as respectable, says he intends to go on the road in Holland to promote its circulation and debate its critics.

This could be very risky.

At least two Dutchmen who have publicly identified Islam as a threat to their country and to Judeo-Christian civilization have been murdered in this decade:

Pim Fortuyn, who announced his wish to see an end to Muslim immigration to Holland, was murdered on May 6, 2002 while running for election to the lower house of parliament.

In November 2004 Theo van Gogh, controversial author and columnist who was a well known critic of Islam, was shot to death, stabbed and virtually decapitated by a Muslim, who stuck a note in his corpse threatening to kill Jews and other anti-Islamic individuals.
