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.

I wonder what Borge has to say about this.

I already knew that Geert Wilders is a moron, that dumb short film which is extremely biased and doesn't really show anything.

I can't believe this. The whole terrorist attack happening is not because of the Islam religion itself, but the terrorist who is an Islam. Just because what they did was wrong, doesn't mean the whole Islam these people are blaming for. I may sound corny with this but because of Al-Qaeda whatever, me going to NY may not be happening if future attacks happen It's sad they took it the wrong way

Geert Wilders is a moron who blames everything on the islam, I can assure you he does not represent the general opinion of the Dutch people. Even though there are people that vote for him. He does everything to just shock and convince people that he's right even if he has to misinterpret the quoran and lie about it in this "movie" of his.
