Anti-Koran film launched on the internet by Dutch MP

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/europe/antikoran-film-launched-on-the-internet-by-dutch-mp-801771.html

The right-wing Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders has posted a film on the internet accusing the Koran of inciting violence, despite government fears that it will offend Muslims and cause protests. The film was posted on his Freedom Party's Web site (www.pvv.nl) but could be watched only briefly before the website said it was not available for technical reasons.

This link to it used to work:

However it now (02-april-08) says "This media item has been removed by the uploader!
Reason from user 'geert_wilders': "deleted due to copyright issues...will upload edited version shortly...""

Is this a diplomatic enforcement of copyright?

Why Antony Thomas is miles ahead of others?
written by scrutinizer , July 16, 2008

It is interesting to see
how an award winning documentary maker Antony Thomas approach the Quran.

Thomasis respected as he asks questions, he listens, he documents.
A fine example of the above could be noted in his latest Channel 4 documentary, The Quran, where he shows how an Egyptian mother and daughter discuss Quran's injuntions on the veil. The mother born and educated in colonial Egypt represents the thinking for which asserting identity would come much later after independence, statehood and nation building. The daughter, Len Fawzy, an advocacy trainer, growing up in post-independence Egypt, she looks at how other people stick to their choice of attires displaying it proudly. This encourage Fawzy and her generation to define what they feel comfortable in and why.

Hence, linking the adopting of veil to a particular translation or a specific school of (rigid) thought may risk ignoring several reflective perspectives at work.

Perhaps this is why a review of Antony Thomas' work suggests:

"It is the quality of his attention that shapes the character of his work. He lets a story tell itself - the finest technique of all."
