Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis movie was directed and edited under the supervision of Geert Wilders, a Dutch right wing politician. The Dutch public broadcasting network companies refused to air it, and Wilders had declined an offer from the Moslimomroep (MO) or Muslim Broadcasting Company, who wanted to air the film in its entirety. Seeing no other options, Wilders had the film posted on Liveleak, and can now be watched on-line.
- GoofsInstead of Mohammed Bouyeri, the killer of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh, this movie shows a parody of a news photograph featuring Dutch rapper Salah Edin.

Featured review
Fitna is a strong example of ethnocentric propaganda.
In Fitna, Geert Wilders succeeds in taking enormous amounts of old footage out of their original context and fitting them together in a pattern that is really only logical to Geert Wilders.
While not being a very tasteful or entertaining film, to the mature viewer it does provide an interesting perspective on one thing - The grotesque nature of ethnocentric and political propaganda. For this reason, and because of scenes of extreme violence, it should be highly dis-recommended to the immature viewer.
Personally, I have never seen the likes of Fitna since America's paranoid propaganda videos from the Red Scare. I was amazed by the paranoia exhibited in the Cold War, but I am equally amazed by the seriousness with which Wilders draws parallels between extreme Islamic fundamentalism and the billion (probably more) innocent and innocuous Muslims living in and outside Europe.
