Anti-Islam film's maker blasts UK over ban

LONDON, England (CNN) -- Controversial Dutch filmmaker Geert Wilders condemned as "crazy and cowardly" Britain's refusal to let him enter the country Thursday.

Wilders, a Dutch lawmaker who produced a much-criticized film about Islam last year, flew to London for a screening of the movie despite being told a day earlier he would not be admitted.

"I still believed and hoped that they would change their tune," he told CNN by telephone, saying he was speaking from a detention room at London's Heathrow Airport.

Wilders said he was invited to screen his film, "Fitna," at the House of Lords on Thursday evening. However, he was told by the British ambassador to the Netherlands that he would be refused entry because the beliefs expressed in the film would threaten public security.

"Fitna" opens with a controversial caricature of the Prophet Mohammed wearing a turban shaped like a bomb, followed by translated portions of the Quran. The passages are interspersed with graphic images of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks against the United States, juxtaposed with audio from 911 calls made by the victims trapped inside the World Trade Center in New York.

A member of the House of Lords said, "I think it's appalling,(for) the British government to prevent a European parliamentarian coming to speak to parliamentarians over here is very disturbing. I think it will be read by many people as a sign of appeasement to threat and intimidation."

How about everyone?

We've been wondering when Islam would completely overtake Britain. It now has control of Parliament.

If you would like to view the grisly film, it's here:

Somewhere, but probably on my computer at home, I have a presentation with numbers given by Geert that he gives after showing the film.

The bad guys are winning.

Muslums came into being because of the need of a ultra conservative church. the reason for the movement away from the catholic church. there message is world domination under Islamic interpretation. read the koran i bought a copy and am amazed. most christians really don't know our bible and even more don't want to follow its teachings because they are viewed as negative. Islam is different; it is the core of life for its people a people who live a like away from the world and who do not seek worldy things. even today if a muslum man even attempts to marry a non muslum he is dead to the family. Stoning is a part of there culture for those who wish to not follow religious law. It is interesting that the method of stoning is different for a man and woman.

You don't think Clement was ultra conservative?
