Dutch Filmmaker to Iran: You're Retarded

As you may remember, in 2005, the Muslim world slightly over-reacted to a Dutch political cartoon depicting Mohammad as some sort of suicide bomber. I have no idea why someone would connect Mohammad and suicide bombers, but they did. And since Islamic extremists are so rational, they promptly demanded the annihilation of all things Dutch and a boycott of all Dutch products in the Middle East. But this is old news, so I won't waste your time recounting all the insanity.

Now, there is a Dutch filmmaker who is daring to show the brutality and violence that seems to accompany radical Islam. According to an interview with Foxnews.com, Geert Wilders (the film maker) says that, "I believe our culture is much better than the retarded Islamic cultures." He also believes that the sharp increase of Muslim immigrants to The Netherlands and other western European countries is not a good thing (obviously).

His film depicts Islam is a less-than favorable light. Iran, being the bastion of tolerance and peace it is, has pretty much threatened The Netherlands with renewed riots and violence if the government allows the film to be shown. So it's not enough for Iran to be totalitarian and use fear and violence as a means of control in their own country, they somehow feel warranted in telling other countries how to do things.

It all goes back to the hypocritical mantra that you always hear from a supporter of these radical Islamic states: Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance. Ok, I'll go as far as saying that Islam can be a religion of peace and tolerance, but it seems that the governments of Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and a couple other Middle East hot spots are becoming more and more dominated by Muslims that think it's cool to use violence and fear to spread the faith.

Anyway, before I get too deep (this is a humor-based blog, after all), kudos to Geert for calling the extremists out. Hopefully, he'll only be burned in effigy as opposed to the real thing.
