An interesting person to know about. A Dutch politician, he has caused a furore in the Muslim world with many people demanding for his death and denouncing him for a recent film called "Fitna". The film is interesting and it worth watching, but bear in mind that it is purely for personal knowledge and is bound to stir up controversy if you raise it as a topic of discussion.

According to many texts that I have read, Islam is a religion of peace. Most Muslims agree that Islam is a beautiful religion and it is the few bad apples that tarnish the name of Islam. Terrorism is a long-standing issue that gives a bad image to a peaceful religion, and this needs to be resolved.
In the meantime, while surfing about on the Net, I found the trailer for a nice Portuguese language movie. It's called "Os Desafinados". I don't suppose it will come to Malaysia anytime soon, but it's worth a watch... I know many Malaysians would rather avoid "thorny" topics, as I have many friends who would rather talk about trivial topics... like movies. "Os Desafinados" seems to be "quite a good movie", so it's quite a pity that I don't speak Portuguese.
