Timing Is Everything

By Moose*

We all knew Fitna was coming. And now it is here.

But before it arrived, we saw the Pope celebrating the right of Muslims to leave their faith, proudly and with the whole world watching. Later we saw the recipient of that blessing loudly and clearly explain the significance of his act, the danger he put himself in, and the violence inherent in the religion that he had so publicly rejected. We also saw the author of Islam's veiled threat to Christianity denounce this most peaceful and symbolic of acts as "provocative".

And then Fitna did indeed arrive is all its power in the Netherlands. The aftershocks have yet to be witnessed.

Only today did I discover that an even more provocative film will be released in the Netherlands in less than a months time. It is provocative because it depicts Mohammad. It is provocative because it tells his story. It is provocative because it portrays him as a child rapist. This is way more provocative than anything Geert Wilders could ever envision. And it is more provocative still because it is produced by a courageous ex-Muslim, Ehasan Jami. So the Netherlands ain't seen nothin yet. Where Geert Wilders attacked Islam, and the Pope brought the plight of ex-Muslims to the forefront, Ehasan Jami is set to deliver the knockout punch: a frontal attack at the Prophet himself.

As Wretchard keeps telling us, mockery of Islam is the one weapon that they cannot absorb as victimhood or martyrdom. It is the one thing that rots them from within.

Where Geert Wilders may be dismissed as an ignorant bigot and racist, it is rather hard to treat a refugee from that very faith in the same way.

It is the perfect one-two-three: The Pope and Allam put the focus on the plight of ex-Muslims. Geert Wilders puts Dutch Islam under the microscope: love him or hate him, the whole world is now watching. So now Jami cannot be ignored. He may be censored, but even that will not stop the debate, and his film will be even more sought after. Or others will be made.

Because a censored cartoon is to Westerners as interesting as martyrs are to Islamists. We are fascinated by the forbidden.

April 20 will be a VERY interesting day, for the Netherlands and for the world.

But it does not end there.

The Netherlands will also be the home of Hariri murder trial, to start next month.

This at a time when Muslim good will towards the Netherlands is at an all time low despite the government's attempts at dhimmitude short of cancelling Fitna.

The new Mohammad film by ex-Muslim Ehasan Jami scheduled for release in the Netherlands on April 20 will be even more extreme in its effect, and may even be banned, but not without forcing further discussion about the perfect example of Mohammad, and the plight of ex-Muslims.

The effect of the trial will be thus be electric to say the least. This is because the trial is really a weapon of the Arab Sunni establishment (Saudi, Egypt etc) against the Shiite/Allawite supporting upstarts in Iran, Syria, Hamas, PIJ and Hezb'allah, as well as Iraq's Shia factions. In particular, it serves as a scalpel to excise the Allawi regime in Syria, thus choking Hezb'allah and thus restoring Sunni hegemony over the Levant. This of course is consistent with the wishes of all in the region save Israel, which prefers the Allawi devil they know to a likely Islamist successor.

So, the Sunni Arab states will be in a bit of a bind. By supporting the Hariri tribunal, they are complicit in kuffar efforts against fellow Muslims (albeit Shia or Allawi) in the Netherlands, which in the eyes of many Muslims is the offensive heart of the Dar al Harb. The real tinderbox for this powder keg will be Iran and its Shia allies, which may well try to whip up broad anti-Dutch and anti-European hysteria, tarring the tribunal with the same brush as the Movies of Wilders and Jami. As usual, Iran will be positioning for pan-Muslim leadership, contrasting itself with the two-faced, kuffar-collaborating Sunni leaders.

Update 29/03/2008 12:15PM AEST: Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses is going to the theatre in Potsdam, Germany. This and the other events above may not be explicitly coordinated in a conspiracy between Sarkozy, Wilders, the Pope and the Easter Bunny, but perhaps people took note of Wilders' timing and timed their action accordingly. Or it could be something more explicit, there have been a number of conferences on Islamism, the survival of Western Civilisation &c lately. Who knows.

Moose! Good work! Hadn't heard about the upcoming film in April but I'll be watching and waiting for it.

It's natural for Wilders to lead with the Twin Towers and the Qur'an. But still, we ought to keep in mind that that's a very atypical example of Islamic violence. Sept 11 and Hamas violence are salient to us, but what's atypical about them is that they're attacks on the powerful, people who can hit back. The great mass of Islamic violence is against the weak, the easy targets - Copts, Chaldeans, Sulawesi Christians, women in Islamic countries who step over the local boundaries of dress, marriage customs, driving etc. We see things from our point of view - will we be victims? Could be, but not likely: the entire Australian and US Muslim communities have come up with pretty much nothing in violence to infidels in those countries. It's not like that elsewhere. The sense of who Muslim violence is really directed at is clearer in Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Geraldine Brooks' Nine Parts of Desire than in the more gung-ho Western anti-Islamicists.

I don't know what to conclude. I guess the reason for it is more that bullies normally go for the weak than that the Qur'an says "Oppress the weak."

GO Mr. Wilders! Great job! Short and to the point, very powerful! I want my Fitna DVD too! Behold the multitudes of crawling and cowering Dhimmis.

It will be interesting to see how many of them will watch this. Eventually, most probably will. SPREAD THE WORD to the world everyone! :)

All real freedom starts with freedom of speech. If there is no freedom of speech, there will be no real freedom. The Christians and Jews don’t riot when somebody makes fun of Christ or Jews. People must learn to be civilized. Rioting MUST not be tolerated.

That’ll be great if there’s no rioting, how very mature that would be. Geert Wilders is a hero telling the painful truth. Definitely show it in Denmark ASAP.
