Very well done, I think -- on a fairly limited budget -- and a good reminder what we in the West are facing. I especially enjoyed the "cartoon" inclusion; I fully expect that's what is upsetting the jihadists the most. Roger,

It is controversial only in the odd world of politics, where lying can get you in trouble, but telling the truth can get you into much greater trouble. A fine production; very powerful.

Wilders' seemed to be going out of his way to be fair to the jihadists; the muezzin's chanting of the Koran verses sounded eerily beautiful juxtaposed with the ranting of imams and the hideous violence of the jihadis. There certainly is nothing there that to my mind is in any way "controversial." Jamie Irons Roger,
