Saudi Blogger Releases Christian Version of ‘Fitna’
April 10, 2008
The recent film “Fitna” by the controversial Dutch politician Geert Wilders was seen by many as an attack on Islam. Now a Saudi blogger has created a film featuring violent texts from the Bible, with the intention of showing that stereotyping can go both ways.
A Saudi blogger has produced an online movie mocking the recent anti-Islamic film by Dutch politician Geert Wilders, using the Bible and Christian extremists as the subject matter rather than the Koran and Muslims.
The film “Schism” by Raed Al-Saeed, 33, is a little over six minutes in length and can be viewed on the Internet video portal YouTube. The film takes verses from the Bible promoting violence, killing and war and intersperses them with provocative images.
These images include a hand-held video of soldiers beating unarmed boys in Iraq as the original recording’s English-speaking narrator expresses sadistic satisfaction. Another series of images focus on a female evangelical preacher urging children to kill for their religion as well as the children speaking proudly about being “trained” to be part of “God’s Army.” …
At the end of his film, Al-Saeed draws a parallel between his film and that of Wilders. The penultimate screen image reads: “It is easy to take parts of any Holy (sic) book that are out of content (sic) and make it sound like the most inhuman book ever written. That is what Geert Wilders did to gather more supporters to his hateful ideology. To create schism.”
Al-Saeed told the English-language Saudi newspaperArab News Thursday that he made the film in less than 24 hours in order to demonstrate that Islam should not be judged by watching “Fitna,” which he believes gives a distorted view of Islam. He added that he believed “Fitna” was “based on hate” and reflects Wilders’ “racism and hatred.”
According to Arab News, Al-Saeed’s video was posted on March 1 on YouTube. Administrators allegedly took it down, but Al-Saeed reportedly convinced the site’s administrators to allow it back up, arguing that letting “Fitna” remain when his film was not available would be unfair.
A number of similar films on YouTube share the same — if not occasionally more graphic — content and even title. Numerous parodies of “Fitna” are also available on the site.
All too tellingly, when you search for “Fitna” at YouTube this is what now shows up at the top of the list — for having the most hits.
Another series of images focus on a female evangelical preacher urging children to kill for their religion as well as the children speaking proudly about being “trained” to be part of “God’s Army.”
There is this one slight difference.
Christians do not actually do this — whereas Muslims do.

I must admit that Al-Saeed makes a point when he says… “It is easy to take parts of any Holy (sic) book that are out of content (sic) and make it sound like the most inhuman book ever written.”
The problem is that Wilders film didn’t take any of the verses of the Koran out of context. The whole of the Koran insists on the rape, enslavement, conversion or murder of ALL infadels (anyone not muslim). The bible speaks of forgiveness, exceptance if there is repentance and choice. You may choose to believe or not. It’s up to you. Islam only offers two choices. Convert or die.
This “film” is a poor attempt at belitteling Christianity. It does point out that we have our kooks too, but so far they haven’t murdered thousands upon thousands of innocent people and never will.

“It is easy to take parts of any Holy (sic) book that are out of content (sic) and make it sound like the most inhuman book ever written. That is what Geert Wilders did to gather more supporters to his hateful ideology. To create schism.”
If it is so easy, how come entire nations in Arabia, Persia, and Islam have made training killers into a business while the West has trouble executing GitMo captives?
There is also a big difference between the Old Testament and the New Testament. For Muslims, there is only one testament to Allah’s will and that’s the Koran.
It does point out that we have our kooks too, but so far they haven’t murdered thousands upon thousands of innocent people and never will.
The West has matured beyond the need to create fictitious enemies in order to vent off our internal societal problems. We have no need to make external war on enemies when we have plenty of internal factors to deal with and fix.
The proof of enemy propaganda and the weakness of the Islamic psyche is demonstrated in how they “defend” their religion against what they call unjustified attacks taking the Koran out of context. Instead of putting the Koran into context, what the Islamic propagandists do is to openly admit to taking the bible out of context, a sort of tribalistic and cannibalistic “two wrongs make me right” methodology.
So even when they “defend” the Koran, they are following the Koran’s teachings of always Attack, Attack, Attack in order to conquer more people and expand Allah’s dominion as per Mohammed’s instructions on spirituality.
Combine this with tribal politics, in which “my tribe, right or wrong, I will defend by slaughtering all enemies and traitors”, and you get vids like “Schism”.

Try as he might, Raed Al-Saeed couldn’t find single video of Christians sawing the heads off of bound captures, Blowing up subway buses, Flying airliners into Mosques or gunning down school girls running from a burning school.
So he presents us with this sloppy mental masturbation.

There’s also the rather interesting irony that Schism attacks Islam itself. Since Islam is supposed to recognize the books from the prophets of Jesus and what not, they accept the Bible and the Torah as second tier holy books.
In reality, of course, they don’t accept such texts nor read such texts at all. Not in any numbers that will make a difference towards moderating their extreme politics and fanaticism.
We don’t accept such passages in the Bible as anything except historical records of a darker time in human history.
The Islam and the more radical followers of that movement, wants to bring back the Caliphate. The “good old days” in which barbarity and killing were justified on whims.
All in all, it brings up an interesting question why a person of Arab descent was so familiar with the darker side of the Bible that he could make a counter-propaganda video of Fitna in under 24 hours. Perhaps Muslims do read the Bible for inspiration on spirituality. Just, perhaps, the sections that most closely resemble the Koran.

One thing’s for sure…..Saeed isnt going to have any death threats, there will be no huge outraged mobs demonstrating, there will be no media apologies…..as a matter of fact, this will stay on youtube a lot longer than fitna ever would. See, Christians as a whole, arent mindless sheep doing whatever the pastor tells them to do, and they dont get offended by ignorant muslim attempts at countering the scourge and plague that is islam, and most of all….Christians dont make a profession of plotting the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people for nothing more than them not being Christian.
This pathetic attempt by saeed is the usual paltry drivel that proves why they use murder instead of intellect. islam is a religion of death and destruction. Christianity isnt. Simple really.

You forget Hillary, Obama, the democrat party and the entire kooky left in this country. All they do is create fictitious enemies out of “Big oil” and others who make this country work.

The voice -over that this man inserts in the “Marines” video clip say’s it all; about him and his religion!!!!
The worldwide reaction that followed (or that didn’t)) to this video, also speaks volumes…
……about Christians!

Another important video he couldn’t include is one of Christians celebrating in the streets after the killing of innocent Muslim women and children, because we don’t think that way so it doesn’t exist. Also, when the evangelist was saying “This is war”, I think she meant war against the devil. Muslims weren’t mentioned. Whereas, it’s hard to mistake sawing someone’s head off.

Well. This video certainly won’t be taken down for “insulting religion”.

I just find the voice dubbing in the beat down scene poorly done. The actual American voice is laughing and saying yes, but then a very different, deeper, (and might I add foreign accented) voice does the sadistic sounding part. Hope others picked up on the dubbing, too, and recognize the lie. Of course the scene conveniently leaves out any mention of what the “boys” had done to merit their detention in the first place. Classic Michael Moore style.

Wicked Wolf - good points except you left out - the boys were beat down - we did not see them shot, blown up, beheaded, burnt, dragged through the streets, hung from the bridge, thrown into the river or any of the other abominations that the radical islamic terrorists have done to others for decades. Some ‘moral’ equivalence there.
I also noted that it was only the Old Testament verses used - which is usual fare for fundamentalists, extemists and other kooks and nuts to do when attempting to silence Christians - let us all forget about the New Testement which is the real basis for Christianity - I think it is the whole turn the other cheek, blessed are the peacemakers, seventy times seven and love one another parts that get to every one not Christian.
I caught the ‘evangelical’ term too - which is the new code word for Christian kooks - when the word should be fundamentalist to describe those churchs and people who adhere to specific teachings (usually out of the Old Testament) of the Bible - that is not Christianity - any more than islam is. . .
And isn’t Wilder a politician? Didn’t he do the film based on his political position, not his religious one?
But alas as with the fiberal Left in America, of what importance are facts, the truth and reality when making our point - No wonder the American Left won’t criticize the radical islamic terrorists - they are the same beast.

It reminds me of the old Red Square joke. An American and a Soviet Russian were sitting in a London bar back in the ’70s. The American tells the Russky that in America there is freedom of speech… we can even stand in front of the White House and scream “Nixon is a criminal!” and get applause, not arrested. The Russky says “Big deal… we can go the the center of Red Square and shout the same thing, and the entire crowd will join in!”
It’s easy to condemn the West… we encourage individual expression. We don’t always applaud it, but we don’t generally kill you if your speech is against the most powerful man in the world.
And by the way, Ymarsakar’s point about the Muslim kid knowing the Bible so well… awfully dangerous thing to brag about over there. Great point…
