Fitna bandwagon update
The Fitna bandwagon just keeps on rolling. Indonesia are leading the pack at the moment, banning broadcasts of the film and barring Geert Wilders from entering the country.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono urged fellow Muslims in the country on Monday night not to use violence, vandalism or conduct a sweep against opponents in protests against the film, saying Islam and other religions never allow such a way.
But he also insisted that “world leaders have a moral obligation to prevent religious or cultural defamation,” which they don’t.
In Malaysia, the country’s national religious council called the film an insult it Islam and called for a boycott of Dutch products.
And a group of 53 Jordanian MPs have delivered a petition to their government in Amman, demanding that it break all diplomatic ties with the Netherlands. They also want the Dutch ambassador expelled from the country.
