Dutch Public Broadcasting Decides Not to Try a “The Bible Is Violent, Too” Movie

At Jihad Watch, Robert Spencer notes

Dutch public broadcaster KRO was planning a film on the violent passages of the Bible, which get trotted out on a routine basis, as if they prove something about the violent passages of the Qur’an that jihadists around the world today are using to justify violence against unbelievers. But — just as I argue in my book Religion of Peace? — the comparison is not really legitimate. These producers discovered that on their own: “After extensive research, linking Bible quotations with real political events and acts of violence however produced an insufficient basis for a thorough journalistic production.”

Dutch Public TV was trying to come up with a “bible variant” to compete with MP Geert Wilders’ 15-minute film “Fitna,” which highlights the correlation between acts of terrorism the Islamic doctrine on which jihadists themselves explicitly rely to justify those acts (see Michelle Malkin’s post).
