Wilder’s latest film out
No, not Billy Wilder (this guy uses an s without the apostrophe), although the film is a new-fangled version of “Some Like It Hot”, I suppose. Right-wing Dutch politician Geert Wilders wants to cause some anti-Islamic commotion by launching “Fitna” (“strife” in Arabic), his video attack collage expressly directed against the Koran, and he will most surely succeed at doing so. Is this a good thing? Probably not, his aim clearly being to distort the Muslim world as much as Islamic radicals seek to distort ours. But hey, somebody's got to do it, oder (right)?
These silly Europeans. Demonstratively speaking one’s mind is a wonderful thing, but if it never leads to concrete action, well, what’s the point? If you are not willing to confront Islamic radicals down at the ground level where they are armed and dangerous, what good is pretending to confront them at the virtual level where they are unarmed and not?
But having said that… Don’t miss this film (although I just might), because it’s bound to be good clean family entertainment for everyone (not) and maybe, in this case, it’s better to have an unbalanced point of view than not bothering to have one at all.
The time for strife is reif (ripe) again, oder?
