Understanding before answering

Consider for a moment the following two quotes that are from a reliable source.

“The Muslim religion is so unreformed since it was created that nowhere in the Muslim world has there been any real advance in science, or art or literature, or technology in the last 500 years” (Lord Tebbit).

“The true Islamic concept of peace goes something like this: ‘Peace comes through submission to Muhammad and his concept of Allah’ (i.e. Islam). As such the Islamic concept of peace, meaning making the whole world Muslim, is actually a mandate for war. It was inevitable and unavoidable that the conflict would eventually reach our borders, and so it has” (Vernon Richards).

Consider yourself a Westerner and what your view would be about Islam based on such quotes. Now consider yourself a Muslim who has, over the years, cornered himself partially and been cornered marginally by the West so that in time which is the present you are seen as a terrorist and that is all. No arguments and no negotiations. Against such strong currents, you do not stand much chance of survival, nor of an explanation that would defend you. The ground is too weak and will not let you stand firm. In such fragile times come Fitna, a short film by the Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders. The film has selectively used Quranic verses to show Islam as a religion of terror, of an attempt to universally use force for Islamisation and specifically at some point in the film it shows Islamisation in the Netherlands.
