Fitna - A Folly

In the name of Allah, The Sublimely Exalted, The All Compelling Subduer, The Abaser

Amongst the created there are those who believe in the clear signs He has sent down and who utilize this life on earth for works worthy of praise. And they command good and forbid evil.

Amongst the created there are also those pure of heart who have not yet found the Clear Path. We invoke Allah that He will show us all the Truth as truth and give us the strength to follow it, and that He will show us all the Falsehood as falsehood and give us the strength to stay clear of it.

But amongst the created there are also those in whose hearts there is a disease. These lowlifes are blinded by their vanity and arrogance. They see themselves as raised above everyone else, as a result of which their primary emotion is hate. They try to keep the people away from the Clear Path as it was revealed to the honorable Prophet Muhammed (the peace of Allah be upon him), and before him to amongst others the honorable Prophet ‘Isa (Jesus, the peace of Allah be upon him), and the honorable Prophet Musa (Moses, the peace of Allah be upon him), and the honorable Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham, the peace of Allah be upon him), and all the honorable Prophets (the peace of Allah be upon them). These lowlifes taunt en slander the Guidance of Allah, Most Sublime. And they taunt and slander the pious followers of the Truth.

Let them remain in their misguidance! Let them attempt to enjoy this life! For without doubt, they will not be done any injustice on the coming Day of Reckoning. If only these criminals would realize what awaits them in the Afterlife. How quickly then would their vanity and arrogance evaporate!

For so long now Mr. Wilders from amongst these lowlifes has tried to arouse the people and make them fearful by whispering falsehood in their ears, just as a devil. And after increasing the tension for many months, he has now revealed his so-called "masterpiece". The movie Fitna. What a folly this has turned out to be! In his attempt to provide arguments for his misguiding message of hate he presents verses from the Holy Quran. But of course, verses which have been taken out of context, such that this vile person can give them the meaning he desires them to have. Or in other words, such that he will not be hindered by the real meaning of these verses and the real message therein.

At the same time he steers clear of every invitation to serious debate. And he avoids every request for true arguments - instead of the shallow and empty-of-contents one-liners thought up and discussed at the embassy of the Zionist occupationist state, as he is known for. See here the so called "courageous man" Wilders who, according to himself, only wants what is good for the people: the lie is forever on the tip of his tongue, when he speaks it is insulting and dirty talk, and when he thinks then a childish reasoning results.

They are characteristics that show this vile person for what he really is, as one who wishes to bring fitna - upheaval - into this world. Because of hate and for his own shortsighted interests. So the world did not really need the movie Fitna to be able to know who the true barbarians are. Everybody knows already that the true barbarians of this day and age hide in bunkers, where they once lived in caves and holes in the ground. The true barbarians of this day and age insult and lie, then to, after having planted the seed of hate in society, withdraw themselves from society. In order to watch society and the way it grapples with the sour fruits that resulted from these seeds of hate from a safe distance. While these criminals eat and drink themselves fat in their hideouts!

Know, therefore, oh so-called "courageous men", that your works will not succeed in realizing your aims. And to you, oh "courageous man" Wilders, the same applies! You only lower yourself further (and who considered this to be possible!) while the dignity of Islam and the Muslims remains unhurt. For they are too high, while you are too low. All you have shown with this little movie of yours is how small you really are, how much of a barbarian you are, and how that for which you say to stand firm is at its wit's end. For your words are a lie and a misguidance, and the truth shines all the more in comparison to what you say:

"Nay, We hurl the Truth against falsehood, and it knocks out its brain, and behold, falsehood doth perish! Ah! woe be to you for the (false) things ye ascribe (to Us)." (TMQ 21:18)

Indeed, "courageous man" Wilders, you have vilified our Prophet (the peace of Allah be upon him). And symbolically, so you say, you have torn apart our Holy Quran. And you call unto us to tear apart our Holy Quran. And you have equated Islam and terrorism. Do you now expect us to not speak out against this, and that we will not say a word against this crime, build on lies and based on slander and humiliation? No, silent we will be not!

We wish to warn the Muslims against their silence in this matter. And we call upon them to close their ranks and raise up together. To answer this criminal, build on lies and based on slander humiliation, and to defend their religion and their sanctities using all possible peaceful means:

"O ye who believe! If ye will aid (the cause of) Allah, He will aid you, and plant your feet firmly" (TMQ 47:7)
