Timing Is Everything
We all knew Fitna was coming. And now it is here. But before it arrived, we saw the Pope celebrating the right of Muslims to leave their faith, proudly and with the whole world watching. Later we saw the recipient of that blessing loudly and clearly explain the significance of his act, the danger he put himself in, and the violence inherent in the religion that he had so publicly rejected. We also saw the author of Islam’s veiled threat to Christianity denounce this most peaceful and symbolic of acts as “provocative”. Only today did I discover that an even more provocative film will be released in the Netherlands in less than a months time.
