Saudi blogger has produced an online movie mocking the recent anti-Islamic film by Dutch politician Geert Wilders (more...), using the Bible and Christian extremists as the subject matter rather than the Koran and Muslims.
At the end of his film, Al-Saeed draws a parallel between his film and that of Wilders. The penultimate screen image reads: "It is easy to take parts of any Holy (sic) book that are out of content (sic) and make it sound like the most inhuman book ever written. That is what Geert Wilders did to gather more supporters to his hateful ideology. To create schism."
Al-Saeed told the English-language Saudi newspaperArab News Thursday that he made the film in less than 24 hours in order to demonstrate that Islam should not be judged by watching "Fitna," which he believes gives a distorted view of Islam. He added that he believed "Fitna" was "based on hate" and reflects Wilders' "racism and hatred."
According to Arab News, Al-Saeed's video was posted on March 1 on YouTube.
Administrators allegedly took it down, but Al-Saeed reportedly convinced the site's administrators to allow it back up, arguing that letting "Fitna" remain when his film was not available would be unfair.
