ABC News gets a “Quran expert,” Mohammad Al-Hayek, to issue the usual denials and obfuscations about the Koran quotes in Geert Wilders’ film Fitna: Uproar Over Anti-Islam Film Falls Flat.
Who is this “expert,” and what is his background? What groups is he associated with? ABC News doesn’t think you need to know any of that. Just read the soothing words of their “expert” and go back to sleep.
Unfortunately for ABC News, a lot of the commenters for their article are not buying these evasions.

AMSTERDAM, March 28 (Reuters) - Muslim nations on Friday condemned a film by a Dutch lawmaker that accuses the Koran of inciting violence, and Dutch Muslim leaders urged restraint.
Geert Wilders, leader of the anti-immigration Freedom Party, launched his short video on the Internet on Thursday evening, prompting an al Qaeda-linked website to call for his death and increased attacks on Dutch soldiers in Afghanistan.
“The correct Sharia (Islamic law) response is to cut (off) his head and let him follow his predecessor, van Gogh, to hell,” a member of Al-Ekhlaas wrote on the al-Qaeda affiliated forum, according to the SITE Institute, a U.S.-based terrorism monitoring service.
