Controversial video sharing
28-Mar-08

Just visit Detik and found in some Indonesian Forum, talking about another controversial sharing movie in YouTube and LiveLeak. Anti-immigration politician Geert Wilders released the film over the Internet late Thursday after publicizing its release for months. Mostly Muslim Indonesia has strongly condemned a film by a Dutch lawmaker that is critical of Islam, saying Friday that it was misleading and would hurt efforts at interfaith dialogue. The Dutch government had warned Wilders that the film could spark a violent backlash in the Islamic world similar to the one that occurred two years ago following publication of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. The 15-minute film intersperses verses from the Quran that apparently condone attacks on non-Muslims with bloody scenes of recent terrorist attacks and hateful speeches by extremists. Indonesia is the world’s most populous Muslim nation. It saw large, mostly peaceful protests against the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. Reaction to the Muhammad cartoons was muted compared to other Muslim nations.
