A children's puppet show featured on Hamas TV shows a child stabbing President Bush to death. "Who are you to come here and threaten me?" Bush says in the puppet show video. "You are on my own turf, you little child, you. Get out." The child tells Bush that he killed his father in the Iraq war, which made him an orphan. "I have come to take revenge with this sword — revenge for my mother and my sisters," the child puppet says. President Bush is depicted as a cowering man, who is clearly afraid of the child. When the puppet Bush invites the child to the White House, he is informed that he can no longer enter the White House because it has been turned into a mosque for Islam.
"You are a criminal, Bush. I will kill you, Bush, because that is your fate," the child says before stabbing Bush repeatedly. The show aired on Al-Aqsa TV on March 30, 2008.

EDITORIAL: Let's see if any of the groups condemning Geert Wilders and his film, Fitna, will raise the same outcry against this video -- from a Muslim organization proposing violence on our President. Actually, that's a rhetorical thought. We all know they won't condemn Islam. More and more that kind of talk would be considered politically incorrect. What a sham!

"Fitna" Condemned by World Council of Churches

Global ecumenical body the World Council of Churches (WCC joins 349 churches in 100 countries) has condemned a provocative new film released by a Dutch parliamentarian in which he accuses the Koran of inciting violence. The director of the WCC’s Programme on Interreligious Dialogue and Cooperation criticised Geert Wilders’ short film “Fitna[link to view film] as "a clear case of Islamophobia".
The word ‘fitna’ is an Arabic term that is sometimes translated as ‘strife’. "Through graphic images the filmmaker depicts violent extremism without any attempt to distinguish it from mainstream Islam. Extremism is a problem for most religions and needs to be countered through interreligious dialogue," Dr. Shanta Premawardhana said.
Wilders, who is leader of the anti-immigration Freedom Party, launched his short video on the Internet last Thursday to the outcry of Muslims around the world. In the film, images of the September 11 attacks on the US and bombings by Islamic extremists appear alongside quotations from the Koran. European Union foreign ministers condemned the film and expressed their support for the Dutch Government, which has distanced itself from Wilders’ film.
"The film equates Islam with violence and this view is sharply rejected," the 27 ministers said in a statement. The EU said, however, that the film did not surpass the boundaries of freedom of expression and that those offended by its content should not react violently. "Feeling offended is no excuse for aggression or threats," the ministers said.

EDITORIAL: It looks to me like "the ministers" are talking out of both sides of their mouth. On the one hand, they say a movie depicting Islam as violent is untrue. On the other hand, they call on Islam not to react violently because of the movie. Odd, huh?
Are the ministers tripping over themselves to call for calm because they KNOW Islam is a violent religion? Of course, they are. Everyone with any good sense knows that Islam is a very violent religion built on the premise of conversion or death. Why do you think so many converts from Islam to other religions are MURDERED by their own families?!? Why? Because ISLAM IS A VIOLENT RELIGION. It's a simple fact.
Fortunately, not all Muslims are violent people. However, the Koran (Qur'an) speaks of violence throughout its text -- and anyone who doesn't see Fitna as at least partial truth has their head in the sand. While the WCC is trying to make peace, violent Muslims are killing innocent people EVERY DAY -- in the name of the Qur'an and Allah. Geert Wilders is not someone I particularly admire, but I do support his telling of the truth about the violence within Islam.
