Network Solutions Suspends Site for "Fitna," Anti-Qur’an Film

Network Solutions, a U.S.-based web service, has suspended the site, fitnathemovie.com, after receiving complaints that it’s anti-Quar’an.

“This site has been suspended while Network Solutions is investigating whether the site’s content is in violation of the Network Solutions Acceptable Use Policy,” the company says on the film’s site. 

According to a Reuters story, Dutch Lawmaker Geert Wilders, the force behind the 15-minute film, says he plans to release “Fitna” on the Internet before the end of the month, after Dutch broadcasters declined to show it. Fitna is a Koranic term sometimes translated as “strife.”

“If need be, I will personally distribute DVDs in the Dam,” Wilders told media. The Dam is the central square in Amsterdam, popular with both the Dutch and tourists.

Wilders’ film has triggered fury in the Muslim world. The Dutch government has distanced itself from Wilders’ views, fearing a backlash against the country in the Muslim world, similar to that against Denmark in 2006 after newspapers there published cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad.

On Saturday, about a thousand Dutch gathered in the Dam to protest Wilders and his film. Wilders has been under heavy guard due to Islamic death threats since the 2004 murder of Dutch director Theo van Gogh, who made a film critical of Islam’s treatment of women.
