"Fitna" - A contra Moslem Film

As reported on Indonesian interactive website of DetikiNet (It was reported in Indonesia Language, there is a film created by Dutch Parliament Member, Geert Wilders, that hurts all Muslim feeling. The copy of the filmed can be accessed on the You Tube and Live Leak. The film has a duration of 17th minutes of which in global tell a story on Terrorist Attack in New York and Madrid. This terrorism attack, according to the film, was inspired by one of the Surat in the Holy Al-Qur'an.

I would see again the western who does not fully understand about Al-Qur'an has made their own interpretation about Islam. Maybe they should see the Indonesian Movie "Ayat-Ayat Cinta" of which describe a bit about Islam.

When I was abroad, most of my colleague has their perception that Muslim is against feminism since in Muslim, every women should wear a special uniform that they think it cut-off the freedom of the women to express their beauties. This is just one example, they see Islam with their own perspective and make their own interpretation about the Surat of the Al-Qur'an. They did not know that everything that has written in the holy Al-Qur'an is just giving a basic or even global about how a Muslim should be. In fact, in the Holy Al-Qur'an often says that every Muslim should be a Rachmatan Lil Alamin. Which is mean every Muslim should bring the goods for him/herself and their surrounding. With this small Surat of Al-Qur'an, as Muslim we are not allowed to kill somebody else just because they are not Muslim.

Islam should bring and spread the goodness all over the world to both Muslim and Non-Muslim. Muhammad SAW has also teach us to working together hand-in-hand with Muslim and non-Muslim and we should respect each other. On a Muslim country once everybody has entering the country legally, they have the same right as the Muslim. One of the right is protected by the country as according to the Law. Actually in Muslim, most of western feel peaces and found they are looking for facing the life.

I do understand that Netherlands is consider as a free country among the European but they have the freedom in express their taught or perspective about anything. But what do they does not aware, that every human freedom is boundaries by others. Which is means we should respect each others.

Hopefully, by more and more Muslim become open and showing the truly Muslim, their think about Muslim and Islam will change and we can live hand-in-hand, side-by-side in Harmony.

One last thing, "Fitna" or "Fitnah" in Indonesian actually means that "A statement that tells a negative thing about something, and this statement is not the right statement." If I use this interpretation to this film, so it will means that this film is telling us the wrong story, and of course we should not bother about it.
