YouTube hosts unholy war

Web User: Saudi blogger makes controversial anti-Chrsitian video A Saudi blogger has made an anti-Christianity video in a direct response to an equally controversial anti-Islamic video.


On Tuesday Web User reported on the decision by ISPs in Indonesia to block access to YouTube and MySpace because of a controversial anti-islamic video posted online.


The Saudi blogger's response, a six-minute movie, entitled Schism, takes verses from the Bible promoting violence, killing and war and intersperses them with provocative images. It is available to view on YouTube.


Schism is a direct response to Fitna, the Arabic word used for schism, a 17-minute film made by far-right Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders.


Wilders' film is also available on YouTube but is restricted to viewers aged 18 and over. Indonesian authorities called on the country's ISPs to block sites that showed the film in a bid to deter violent protests.


Al-Saeed said that he made the film in a day and was motivated by Fitna's distorted view of Islam.


His film features handheld camera footage of American soldiers beating up unarmed Iraqi boys and passages from the Bible advocating murder.

There are numerous versions of the film available online as well as several parodies.

I agree with Mahdi.

I wonder why instead of using the movie as a tool to fight against all the radicals, people are being so childish by making this stuff..but off course, I don't think Christian on this movie will be as mad as some muslims when fitna movie was out on public. IMHOSmile

Actually, Jane makes a good point. Have there been any demonstrations about this film? Has the film-maker been sent death threats by Christians?

I would just like to point out that there is an assumption that the American soldiers who beat up the Iraqi are Christians. Any proof of that?

Hi Mark nice to meet u..

I think u always against me i don't know whyFrown..

however,am not with the people who kills other whether christians or muslims but as this movie hurts other religions the" fitna" hurts us because it's transform Islam from peace religion to bloody religion .  it's really hurts muslims who know what is real Islam . Our god said in holy book that "No compulsion in religion" so, any muslims do that is not follow god order..   but another hand, there is no reason to detriment of Islam by this movie..

thank u for comment..

(sorry if there is any mistakes)

In My openion, Such films never bring Peace. Once a growing child see such films, in his mind a "Think" will come naturally, why my borther get hurt, why our community are beated. Even if it is muslim or Christ, etc…

So… instead such films, try to make something usefull or something has good knowledge about life and human being.

The thing about the Internet is that it has basically introduced freedom of speech into the whole simultaneously.
