Coming soon…Fitna II – Anti fitna sites
UPDATED – SEE BELOW
It is important to recognize that the views of Wilders are not endorsed by all Dutch people. Muslims as well as non-Muslims have initiated several initiatives against Wilders and his film Fitna.
Look for example at Hollandlovesmuslims.com, although apparently plagued by hate comments, their campaign is still running (contrary to what I wrote earlier).
Another initiative is Stop Geert Wilders.com where you can buy t-shirts mocking Wilders.
Another online initiative wants to make clear that Wilders Is Not Holland:
Dear people of the international community,
We, the Dutch, find it important to show the world that Geert Wilders and his forthcoming film ‘Fitna’ do not express the views of the people of Holland.Geert Wilders is an elected politician that does have a base of support. He is, however, not part of the Dutch government. During the last democratic elections in the Netherlands he received a minority vote and is therefore part of the opposition.
The reason that Wilders received support is not only because of his critical view on islam. It can also be attributed to the feeling of the electorate that there is no alternative in the current Dutch political landscape.
Unfortunately Geert Wilders has made a move that we find unwise. He holds the nation hostage by announcing a film that, without even being released, has begon to start seeding hatred and conflict.
We, the Dutch, believe in solutions and an open dialogue. We believe in talking with each other, listening to each other and respecting each other.
Freedom of speech is a great good. Living together in peace and respecting eachother are too.
We have set up this website to give the Dutch the opportunity to show the world that Geert Wilders does not speak on behalf of Holland, but on behalf of himself.
So remember, ‘Fitna’ is NOT a Dutch Film, nor is it a film of the Dutch government. It is a film privately made by Geert Wilders and expresses his views, not that of the Dutch.
If you’re Dutch, you can sign the petition here.
Wilders is not Holland. Holland is me!
UPDATE
And another initiative against Wilders and his film. The main argument here is that Wilders is deliberately insulting people, risking all kinds of dangerous reactions and therefore a waste of the tax payers money (since he is receiving security by the Dutch state). They have an online petition here and an article here (both in Dutch).
And another initiative: Wanneer gaat Geert Wilders dood? – Voorspel het hier! (When will Geert Wilders die? Predict it here). You can place your bet there on the exact date of Geert Wilders’ death and win a free haircut one year long…Pff what to think about that initiative?
