Is this gona shock the world??

Tonight the Dutch politician Geert Wilders posted his very controversial film on the internet. I just watched this and it is nothing more than a compilation of the news of the last 7 years. Basically, the content of the movie is actually shocking, but since all the material has been widely broadcasted in the news over the last 7 years, it did not shock me that much.....that is actually shocking when images of terrorist attacks doesn't shock me anymore!!....am I so used to this crazy world?!

If this movie is good or not? Hard for me to say...some of my friends are Muslim...but on the other hand Wilders showed the reality...or not?...So what do I think of this? According to good and old Dutch tradition: 'it is good for the debate, lets debate about it....'
See it and determine for yourself: http://www.liveleak.com/

Here the most recent (objective) article from the BBC

Dutch right-wing politician Geert Wilders has posted a controversial film critical of Islam's holy book, the Koran, on the internet (BBC)

The opening scenes show a copy of the Koran, followed by footage of the attacks on the US on 11 September 2001.
The 15-minute film was posted on video-sharing website LiveLeak.
Its planned release had sparked angry protests in Muslim countries. The Dutch government has distanced itself from the views of Mr Wilders.
The film is called "Fitna", a Koranic term sometimes translated as "strife". Dutch broadcasters have declined to show it.

'Spiteful'
Graphic images from the bomb attacks on London in July 2005 and Madrid in March 2004 are also shown.
Scenes from a beheading and pictures of the Dutch director Theo van Gogh, who was murdered by a radical Islamist in 2004, are also included.
The film ends with someone turning pages of a Koran, followed by a tearing sound.
A text that appears on the screen says: "The sound you heard was from a page (being torn from a) phone book.
"It is not up to me, but up to the Muslims themselves to tear the spiteful verses from the Koran."
The film concludes: "Stop Islamisation. Defend our freedom."
Two years ago the publication in Denmark of cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad sparked protests across the Muslim world.
