Fitna: An Important Short Film

Fitna (Arabic: فِتْنَةٌ‎) is a 2008 short political film by Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders with his view on the religion of the Islam.
Consequently, the film argues that Islam encourages—among other things—acts of terrorism, antisemitism, violence against women, violence and subjugation of "infidels" and against homosexuals and Islamic universalism.

A large part of the film details the influence of Islam on the Netherlands. The film was published on the internet in 2008.

Shortly before its release, its announcement was suspended from its website by the American provider because of the perceived controversy.[3][4] It stirred a still continuing debate in The Netherlands as well as abroad,[5] and a criminal prosecution.

The Arabic title-word "fitna" means "disagreement and division among people" or a "test of faith in times of trial".[6] Wilders, a prominent critic of Islam, described the film as "a call to shake off the creeping tyranny of Islamization".

On 27 March 2008, Fitna was released to the Internet on the video sharing website Liveleak in Dutch and English versions.
