A short film titled Beyond Love will soon be released by the Iranian-based NGO Islam and Christianity (IC), in response to the anti-Islamic Dutch film Fitna, the Iranian news agency IRNA reported.
"The film aims to introduce the real Islam. It will be useful for those who want to get acquainted with Islam," said IC spokesman Muhammad Karimi.
Earlier this year, Dutch filmmaker Geert Wilders produced Fitna, which claimed to have explored Quranic motivations for terrorism. The film was condemned by many in the West, as well as in the Muslim world. Al-Qaeda even issued a religious decree against Wilders, while the Dutch government was quick to distance itself from the film.
While IC claims to be an independent organization, Radio Netherlands quoted an Iranian journalist a few months ago as saying that it was created by the government itself.
"It is an NGO of 'convenience'; it is absolutely clear that this is a government initiative," said Mina Sa'adi, a journalist working for the independent Farsi-language website Shahrzad News.
Re: Pro-Islam film to be released in response to 'Fitna'
If you guys watched that fitnah movie on youtube or elsewhere - it is so poorly made, it probably doesn't even deserve a counter - as it really is that ridiculously rubbish (was expecting better to be honest).
But, ofcourse, pro-islam videos are welcome. I rather like to label them Islamic videos, since the word "pro" implies propaganda .
Re: Pro-Islam film to be released in response to 'Fitna'
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته Assalaamu 3alaikum wa rahmatullaah wa Barakaatuh,
The Quranic verses that were mentioned in Fitna were proven in several debates, that they belonged to army against army battles. Therefore, the verses did not mention the killings of women, children or infants nor destruction of crops, trees or towns.
Al-Quraan forbids the killing of women and children as well as unarmed men and those who surrendering. Also, forbids the destruction of crops, trees and dwellings, let alone entire towns.
These religious books are so filled with hate-speech, it's almost unbelievable. Thank god there are other verses that contradict those mentioned in this movie.
