Submission

Working from a script written by Ayaan Hirsi Ali, van Gogh created the 10-minute movie Submission. The movie deals with the topic of violence against women in Islamic societies; telling the stories of four abused Muslim women. The title itself, "Submission", is a translation of the word "Islam" into English. In the film, telling their stories as if they are speaking to Allah. Qur'anic verses unfavourable to women are projected onto their bodies in Arabic. After the broadcast of Submission, Van Gogh and Hirsi Ali also received death threats. Van Gogh did not take these very seriously and refused any protection, reportedly telling Ayaan Hirsi Ali: "Who would want to kill the village idiot?
Van Gogn was shot 8 times by Mohammed Bouyeri, a Dutch- Moroccan Muslim.
Ayaan fled Netherland and is now in USA under severe protection. Recently a member of Netherland parliament named Geert wilders has decided to release a 10 min movie regarding the truth about violence in Quran. Guess what! The movie hasn't been released yet and he has received so many death threats that he is under police protection and is constantly changing safe houses. However he's stayed firm in his decision regarding the release of the movie. So let's support freedom of speech and not be intimidated by bunch of savages who are stuck in the 7th century and want to impose their throwback religion on the rest of the civilized world.

there really is a complete lack of positives for a muslim woman in a muslim country.

i dont understand how they all still say how great it is....poor deluded souls, if they wish to be apart of a cult they have to accept the traditions that come with it....sexism being the primary lead.

I agree. This is how most religions operate. For the most part, the other religions have similar texts but the followers haven't really read them and pretend that their texts don't have the same sexist undertones.

@cboxgo - sorry but you're way off base here. This is NOT how "most" religions operate. Atheist religions like Marxism, Leninism, and Maoism also operate like this but you left those out because those are your religions. That's what you believe. Those are your values. Atheism murdered more of their own people in the past 100 years then all religions in human history combined. Enjoy your religion.

@thomaserossi thanks for responding to my post from two years ago. i had completely forgotten about it. As for Marxism, Leninism and Maoism? Marxism, as you called it, is just Socialism which is an economic principle... not a religion. Lenin and Mao were totalitarians just like Hitler. I didn't mention that Hitler was a Christian because it wasn't his Christianity that caused the atrocities he committed but his thirst for power.

islam is in no way a true religion.

its a false religion

as with all religions.

Its like i say: Its too easy for a woman to be a muslim in a laic (non religious) state, its no so easy to be a muslim woman in Iran for example. ;)

She is praying to some god to stop her husband to stop beating her.... stupid. 

[TheIcelandicPatriot]

This is the very reason why i speak against muslims but when i do all i get in return is islamaphobe or racist. How can we as a western world tolerate this barbarity? 

[shadowofears]

His husband should be publically hanged!

[shadowofears]

This is called misuse of religion!
