Muslim nations condemn film


March 28, 2008 Islam critic Geert Wilders launched his short video on the Internet on Thursday evening. Titled "Fitna," an Arabic term sometimes translated as "strife," it intersperses images of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States and Islamist bombings with quotations from the Koran, Islam's holy book. The film urges Muslims to tear out "hate-filled" verses from the Koran and starts and finishes with a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammad with a bomb under his turban, accompanied by the sound of ticking.
