Iranian Production of 'Beyond Fitna' Started!

"Iranian NGO Starts Production of 'Beyond Fitna,'" from Fars News Agency:

TEHRAN (FNA)- A Non-Governmental Organization in Iran has started production of a documentary called 'Beyond Fitna' to respond to far-right Dutch politician Geert Wilders' provocative dissertation 'Fitna'.
The Iranian organization called 'NGO Islam and Christianity' started production of the documentary after the Dutch lawmaker displayed his movie which urges Muslims to tear out "hate-filled" verses from the Qoran and starts and finishes with an insulting cartoon of Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him).

The NGO's documentary called 'Beyond Fitna' deals with incitement of violence in the Bible. Muslims believe that the book deemed holy by Christians today is a distorted version of the original Bible.

'Beyond Fitna' focuses on the orders given to worldwide Christians in the (distorted version of) Bible for stoking violence, committing genocide, attacking others, beheading and burning women and children who have been taken into captivity.

The documentary recycles film clips from crimes committed by extremist Christians under the inspirations of the said Bible teachings, and aims to provide a response to the allegations made by Pope Benedict XVI, who called Islam a religion of violence after misunderstanding certain Organic [sic! sic!] verses....

"I will be very interested to see those "film clips from crimes committed by extremist Christians under the inspirations of the said Bible teachings." If they are authentic, they will be from fringe groups that claim to be Christian but whose teachings are repudiated by all mainstream Christian sects. The situation is very different in Islam, where all the sects and schools of jurisprudence teach the necessity of warfare against unbelievers.

Oh, and one other thing: if this film comes out, I guarantee you: no Christians will riot, or rage against free speech." (Robert Spencer, JihadWatch.com)
