THE NETHERLANDS - Beyond Fitna, an Iranian film made in response to Geert Wilders’ film Fitna, is now finished and can be viewed on the internet from Thursday.

A spokesperson for the Iranian organisation ‘Islam and Christendom’, which produced the film, said Beyond Fitna honours all monotheistic religions, and is a response to what he called anti-Islamic propaganda by western extremists.

Beyond Fitna will be available in Farsi, Arabic and English, from Islam and Christendom’s web site, and also from You Tube and Google.

Dutch politician Geert Wilders, leader of the Party for Freedom, released the anti-Koran film Fitna in March. Several demonstrations and condemnations by Islamic countries ensued, but not the anticipated riots.

UPDATE

This means of course that it is online now. You can go to the site of NGOIC or click on the image below (will open in a new window with Windows Media Player)
