salaam
An anti Quran 15 min film is due to be released next month by an Islamaphobic politician in Holland.
Already it has caused alot of reactions from Muslims throughout the world- God knows what reaction we will see when it finally is released.
Wilders wants to ban the Quran and calls it a fascist book.
See links below for full details:

the best responce as Tariq Ramadan has said is silence. And if people want to protest then do it intellectually. Let him rant on, why give him any significance or imprtance?
wasalaam
"the best responce as Tariq Ramadan has said is silence."
...So what is the point of bringing this to everyone's attention. You are stirring things.

Winter is the Springtime of the Muslim. Because Allah (swt) has made the nights long for worship, and the days short for fasting!

Is the moral of that film 'little girl takes off her hijab and finally becomes happy'?
Looks good though.
The French are good at multiculturalism.

At least the Dutch see some sense! Maybe he'll chicken out at the last minute. I dare him to release the film and try to harass a few Muslims in the street. His mummy will wonder why he's got a black eye!
Chin up, mate! Life's too short.

I don't suggest you make that a standard response to this type of thing, doesn't look good. People who say "yeah, come over here and say that to my face" aren't very impressive imho.

I understand what u guys mean when u said ignore it. BUT, how long can we ignore for, and where do we draw the line? What next?
The media, government, tried to blow us, but they can't out the flame, or doubt the name.

You have to consider each situation on its merit.
There are some questions:
1. Is controversy being "encouraged"?
2. What is more damaging, negative publicity or no publicity.
3. Will it make a difference?
1 and 2 are more important than 3. If it is a book/film.product, the extra publicity from the controversy may be well sought after. More people know about it, more people buy it.
Remember those chainmails that used to go around? "Do not visit http://www.antiislam.com - it is anti Islam!" I guess none of those people who got that email would have heard of the site before. The ten% that are curious and want to make their own judgement would be a 10% NOT going to the site without the free publicity.
Yarr!

You know, I'm just mucking around. I'm all for having a dig at him non-violently snd beating him up won't help the situation. But if he comes and harasses you in the street, I'll leave it to your imagination how he tries, most people wouldn't just stand there.
Chin up, mate! Life's too short.

I get that and half agree. You're assuming he's that kind of guy, or projecting that, and I've had all kinds of arguments with people who really are like that and have always done my utmost, successfully, not to come to blows. It would be a stain on my character and seem to settle the matter against me. Anyway I'm pleased to learn you were just messing.
A drunken guy started bugging me in the street just earlier, and I tolerated him in good humour until he started touching my ear. A strong verbal warning sufficed - the guy was drunk and trying it on, not a serious threat. My cabbie said he would have hit the guy. I can forgive the drunk guy's attitude but not the cabbie's.

Some people say that violence does not solve a thing. I wonder what the city founders of Hiroshima would have to say about that. They wouldn't say anything. Hiroshima was destroyed. Violence has resolved more conflicts than anything else. The contrary opinion that violence doesn't solve anything is merely wishful thinking at its worst.

That's correct, violence can quell violence, but not assert a point. Violence is also an excellent way to generate violence, and there may then be a winner.

But the thing is drunks can't understand reason unless their sobre, so I don't see anything wrong in using reasonable violence in self-defence, or to defend a friend. Pacifism works, but only to a certain point.
Imagine if Geert Wilders comes and starts to be racist towards you. OK first you would say, "Get a grip, mate!"
But if he starts assaulting you, the law allows you to use self-defence.
Chin up, mate! Life's too short.

The fact is that many Muslims become emotional upon hearing of such things. They forget to make use of their heads when it is MOST required, and allow themselves to be driven by their emotions. That is not to say that we should have ice running through our veins, nor that we shouldnt be pained, offended, aggrieved or angered - that is justifiable and understandable - but we should learn more self control when the times calls for it, and take the RIGHT action. Asian folk in particular are more driven by their emotions. We still dont know how to work the PR for Islam, and I will NOT be surprised if there are random aimless flag burnings or other similar actions.
May Allah shine sweet faith upon you this day and times beyond. May your heart be enriched with peace, and may your home be blessed always. Ameen.

Well... the time for popcorn has arrived.
Since both the dutch government AND the (some of the) people have protested against this, maybe it will not be as big.
On the other hand they are Dutch... as Nigel powers has said:
Pretty convincing argument.

You know over the cartoons, 95% of Muslims reacted peacefully, by peaceful protests and boycotting. The Media jus decided to look at the 5%. Typical!

I agree, but the sad fact of the matter is many British people want Muslims to constantly, publically, distance themselves from the 'less-peaceful' protests of the minority. They interpret the fact that many Muslims don't publically condemn acts of terror/extremism/criminal activity/bad breath as the same as the majority of Muslims agreeing with such behaviour.
The truth is, many Muslims are so sick-and-tired of all this bad publicity, they simply can't be bothered 'apologising' over and over again for something they are not, personally, guilty of. Unfortunately, it may very well be our duty to try to change people's misconceptions of Islam, no matter how boring it is to constantly repeat ourselves.

My experience is that hostility to the west and sympathy to AQ and similar groups is widespread, as is the propaganda of groups like HT and their dominance on campus. I don't find it odd that prominent Muslims are expected to create a distance, and many Muslims in the media make exactly the same point.

And there people, we have the opposite extreme reaction...
Why, thankyou very much.
Why did I mention it? because people may need to buy some popcorn before sitting down infront of the telly for some good old entertainment.
(I don't know why I always bring popcorn into things - I don't even like it! unless it is honey coated...)
Ask those who protest. I fully support the right of people to protest whatever they wish to protest. As long as it is carried out in an organised peaceful manner. If not, then it atleast has to be amusing. Otherwise it is made of FAIL.
Yarr!
