Politics 2012: Ron Paul strategy keeps things interesting
TEHRAN, April 4 (UPI) -- An Iranian organization has begun work on a documentary, "Beyond Fitna," that aims to do to the Bible what a right-wing Dutch politician did to the Koran.
Geert Wilders' 17-minute film "Fitna," which he recently posted on a Web site, combines selected passages from the Koran, clips of Islamist preachers and video of terrorist attacks in the United States and Europe. The title is a word used in the Koran and sometimes translated as "struggle."
"Beyond Fitna" will use Bible passages and clips from pundits like Bill O'Reilly, the U.S. radio talk show host, Fars news agency reported.
Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami, one of Iran's senior clerics, attacked "Fitna" during Friday prayers, Press TV said. Khatami called Wilders a Zionist puppet and said that he had moved beyond attacking Islam to promoting blasphemy.
