A Saudi blogger has made an anti-Christianity video in a direct response to an equally controversial anti-Islamic video.
On Tuesday Web User reported on the decision by ISPs in Indonesia to block access to YouTube and MySpace because of a controversial anti-islamic video posted online.
The Saudi blogger’s response, a six-minute movie, entitled Schism, takes verses from the Bible promoting violence, killing and war and intersperses them with provocative images. It is available to view on YouTube.
Schism is a direct response to Fitna, the Arabic word used for schism, a 17-minute film made by far-right Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders.
Wilders’ film is also available on YouTube but is restricted to viewers aged 18 and over. Indonesian authorities called on the country’s ISPs to block sites that showed the film in a bid to deter violent protests.
Al-Saeed said that he made the film in a day and was motivated by Fitna’s distorted view of Islam.
His film features handheld camera footage of American soldiers beating up unarmed Iraqi boys and passages from the Bible advocating murder.
There are numerous versions of the film available online as well as several parodies.
