Amazing. Network Solutions still has their little we are reviewing this site for content notice - cowards - and so Geert Wilders released the film on LiveLeak. Although you won't see it on LiveLeak (story below), you can view it here, at Robert Spencer's wonderful Jihad Watch. Take a look at what hackers did to the LiveLeak site for the film: www.themoviefitna.com.

I want to quote a little from Mr. Spencer here, but please do visit his site for a lot of day-by-day blow information on the melodrama. He has done an excellent job on it. . . and his writing is always a pleasure to read. He explains a few days ago:

"Geert Wilders’ much-anticipated film on the Qur’an, Fitna, was released on LiveLeak.com on Thursday, pulled by LiveLeak on Friday after death threats, and by Saturday couldn’t be stopped: it had gone viral, having been posted in innumerable places all over the Internet.

But many, many people are still trying to make sure you don’t see it. Iran urged European leaders to block the film, and summoned the Slovenia representative in Tehran (Slovenia currently holds the EU presidency) to lodge an official protest, as Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini called it a “provocative and anti-Islamic movie,” revealing “continued enmity and deep hostility of such western nationals against Islam and Muslims.” The Pakistani government summoned the Dutch Ambassador in Islamabad to lodge a formal protest also. Malaysia’s former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad called on Muslims to boycott Dutch products in retaliation for the movie."
