Please Help Sink "Fitna"

[stlsaxman]

I'm not one to censor anyone. but even though i knew it would show up on DU Political Videos Forum eventually, i had hoped that it would not.

It would have been much better if the poster of the video had, instead, posted here in GD with a headline something like "Fitna: Seen It? Let's discuss!" but no- they posted the video instead (and more power to 'em, i guess). Personally, i will never watch this hate. Here are the numbers of views since posting on DU and Youtube:

If you feel as i do- that even acknowledging it's existence by viewing it give it credence, then join me in sinking the OP to the depths from which it was spawned.

Go to the Political Videos Forum and page down to where you see it listed- Fitna. Scroll down below it and find a video you'd like to watch and view it, or not- but hit "reply" and either post a reply or put "Kicked to Sink Fitna n/t" in the subject line.

Let's put an end to viral hate.

Thank you for your time.

1. Felt the same way about the Jesus camp video and anti-homeschool ones

2. K&R

I did not watch it and I find it disturbing it is restricted at YouTube, but shows up here on the homepage.

3. Maybe you should actually watch it

and if you're concerned about it, prepare a counter message to answer it. Just saying it's garbage without knowing what the film is about isn't an argument.

Any effort on your part to "sink" Fitna is rather hopeless, but you can do your part with a well reasoned response.

4. I know what the film is about and there is no argument- i WILL NOT watch it.

to watch it is to acknowledge it. hate speech thrives on attention.

and that gives it power it does NOT deserve.

you must have missed the part of my OP that said it would have been better for the poster of the video to go to General Discussion Forum and say "Fitna- have you seen it? Let's discuss it, shall we?" then those who had chosen not to, like me, could read about it as opposed to adding to the Times Viewed numbers... which keeps it alive to spread it's hatred further.
