Fitna movie has been released on March 27, 2008 on Liveleak . The opening of the movie is 9/11 tragedy while on the left Quran verse (8:46) was written and voiced in Arabic. Then, the next scenes showed how brutal Islam is. The Quran verses partly written on the left side by mean to give perspectives how Quran encourages Muslim to do violence. There are 4 following verses as license to kill non-Muslim that taken partly.

Quran can not be understand by cut it partly and should be better to read the verses before and after the verse which was meant if you can not read Quran completely. For example from the verse than was taken by Greet Wilder after the verse from Surah An Nisa (4:89) should be followed by Surah An Nisa (4:90-91). Those verses when read as a whole give an explanation that there are no license to kill someone.

In understanding of Quran should be understand the history behind. Surah An Nisa was situated for Muslims who were fighting against non-Muslim of Mecca and had been worrisome civilian in Medina. Muslims were given permission to against them which caused of terror for Medina, but should not fight who refused for fighting Muslim nor supported their non-Muslim group, also Muslim should not fight who come for peace. Undoubtedly, there were misleading occupied by irresponsible people to legalize and justify their actions. But, Islam never allows terrorism and not every Muslim is a terrorist. It seems like not every Jews is Zionist.

By my understanding about Greet Wilders, I think him only a poor man who worries about the rapid growth of Islam in Netherland and Europe. The tolerances environment that established by Dutch government was worried him if one day Islam becomes the greatest religion in Netherland. And so, brutalism, terrorism, jihad, gay and lesbian prohibited and to conquer of the world are the hot issues that will attract more sympathy to against Islam. He creates Islam-phobia environment which cause someone to frighten with Muslim people.

Islam never coerce non-Muslim to be a Muslim, even that is prohibited as stated in Surah Al Baqarah (2:256) "There is no compulsion in religion". Muslim only allows inviting, presenting and conveying the message of God, but does not allow coercing and finally the decision is up to someone to accept or reject it. Islam never uses Jihad to coerce someone to become a Muslim. The real purpose of Jihad is not to convert non-Muslim to Islam but to remove unfairness and violence to whom fight Muslim based on religion and drive Muslims out from their home, such as in Palestine.

Freedom of speech does not mean without respect to others right. Freedom has limitation because we are human and not other creatures. Unfortunately, many people accused something without have enough knowledge for what to be accused and just because public opinion has been made by media. Everything should be understood from proper context, textual and historical. Wiseman said, "If you want to get more knowledge, learn to the experts and if you want to get the right information, learn something without a prejudice".

Sadly, Greet Wilders does not get the meaning of tolerance, understanding and peace while his government is struggling to establish a tolerance environment between Muslim and non-Muslim. He should see an issue from the right contexts and meanings without a prejudice. His movie has strengthened the bond of Islam and invites non-Islamic to learn about the real Islam as happened as 9/11 tragedy which many non-Muslim learn about what the real Islam is.
