Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis movie was directed and edited under the supervision of Geert Wilders, a Dutch right wing politician. The Dutch public broadcasting network companies refused to air it, and Wilders had declined an offer from the Moslimomroep (MO) or Muslim Broadcasting Company, who wanted to air the film in its entirety. Seeing no other options, Wilders had the film posted on Liveleak, and can now be watched on-line.
- GoofsInstead of Mohammed Bouyeri, the killer of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh, this movie shows a parody of a news photograph featuring Dutch rapper Salah Edin.

Featured review
Aimed Poorly
I suppose there are all sorts of reasons to make a film.
Usually when it is a documentary, as this purports to be, there is an expected nominal bit of exploration of the unknown, sometimes educational. I expected this value because I know the Koran to be so vulnerable. Its questionable origin has been taken to pieces in "Religion Ruins Everything," a recent book.
But this film makes another choice. Its made not for the western viewer who really is curious, but the very Islamist it condemns. Its intended to offend, and the viewer is merely tricked into collaborating. I think I would willingly participate in a much rougher film should someone choose to make one.
But this approach to offend for the sake of making offense in front of us is something I refuse to participate in.
Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.
