FITNA. A movie. About Islam. By a Dutchman. Will not be shown. Why? Haven't a clue, but those in the Islam world are protesting hard against it, even mentioning it will hurt diplomatic relations with countries such as Iran. What could be so horrible in this movie,that could cause those in the Islam world to be so angry. Could it all be lies? Or could it contain truths? That's the issue. Without the movie being shown what could we gather from it or throw away from it. I don't understand this fear of art, but it does bring me back to the governments in the ME, the removal of the free press, of the free art, of the free opinion. The governments in the ME are acting as if this movie will change the world. Acting like those who murdered priest because of Dutch cartoons. The Western World was built on the idea of freedom of the mind. It wasn't always like this. Though through Individual thought came Prosperity. It was because those who have it are able to Choose what they want to do. Who they want to be. Who they want to be with it. What they want to believe. Perhaps this isn't understood in the ME. Just because I see a movie about Islam, doesn't mean I believe it as the truth. I take from it what I want to take from it. Because in my way of my life, my mind is free and able to choose what truth is.
