Would you help me?
It's been a week after the night Wilders released Fitna, I followed part of the parliamentary debate and opinions on this subject.
I found students in Medan ran amok at Dutch Consulate. I was rather surprised, I pictured FPI doing such act, not students who supposed to use their head in stead of their muscles. They just lowered to his level and helped Wilders to prove his point, that Islam is a religion of violence.
I found Jordan is thinking about severing diplomatic connection with Holland. Another surprise, as Jordan is traditionally one of the most Western-oriented countries in the Middle East.
I found calls of boycotting Dutch products. What kind of Dutch products? Products of Shells, Unilever, Philips, Frisian Flag, Gouda cheese, flowers, seeds? How about those companies products that are produced outside The Netherlands, such as in Indonesia?
I found that Kurt Westergaard, the Danish creator of Mohammad cartoon is suing Wilders based on copyright infringement.
I found that when people from outside insulting Islam, there are Moslem rioting somewhere. But how come when terrorists claiming as "acting" for Islam, which I think even more insulting Islam, there are no Moslems rioting.
I found that no one from Islamic community condemned those clerks whose appalling speeches were on that film. Where are the so-called moderate Moslems? Are they agreeing with those clerks, too? I thought it was a good opportunity for moderate Moslems to distance themselves from the bad elements in their community, to do introspection and self-critic, to give the world the real face of Islam that is about peace.
I need help to understand these. Please...
