The controversial film by Dutch MP Geert Wilder on Islam is out:

This is part of what the BBC had to say:
"Dutch right-wing politician Geert Wilders has posted a controversial film critical of Islam's holy book, the Koran, on the internet.

The opening scenes show a copy of the Koran, followed by footage of the attacks on the US on 11 September 2001.

The 17-minute film was posted on video-sharing website LiveLeak.

Its planned release had sparked angry protests in Muslim countries. The Dutch government has distanced itself from the views of 44-year-old Mr Wilders."

What do you think? Is Islam itself a "danger" to "Western" society? Or just the fringe groups that hi-jack the words for their own cause? Does Western mean Christian or just non-Muslims in this case? And what about the video itself? A fair portrayal of Islam? Or mere right wing sensationalism?

I note the bible has similar hate filled verses but Christians (mostly) don't act on the passages telling them to stone homosexuals etc. (See the most hated family in America for one exception - and even they don't actually stone homosexuals, just protest at soldiers funerals.) Is Islam the only religion to be denounced or should other religions be equally attacked?
