The Islamists and their apologists have been complaining loudly over Geert Wilder's film, "Fitna." Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch gives them an answer.

Read it all here.Wilders’ film could easily get him killed. It picks up the work of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh, who was murdered in 2004 by a jihadi for criticizing Islam. Fitna is provocative, but it has good reason to provoke. A cancer of violence, bigotry, and cruelty is metastasizing within the Islamic world. It’s fine for Muslim moderates to say they aren’t part of the cancer; and that some have, in response to the film, is a positive sign. But more often, diagnosing or even observing this cancer — in film, book or cartoon — is dubbed “intolerant,” while calls for violence, censorship, and even murder are treated as understandable, if regrettable, expressions of anger.
On the 28th of March LiveLeak.com was left with no other choice but to
remove the film "fitna" from our servers following serious threats to our
staff and their families. Since that time we have worked constantly on
upgrading all security measures thus offering better protection for our
staff and families. With these measures in place we have decided to once
more make this video live on our site. We will not be pressured into
censoring material which is legal and within our rules. We apologise for the
removal and the delay in getting it back, but when you run a website you
don't consider that some people would be insecure enough to threaten our
lives simply because they do not like the content of a video we neither
produced nor endorsed but merely hosted.
