Al Mouftinoun is a short film by the Arab European League. It is a reaction to Fitna, a short film by Geert Wilders in which he offers his views on Islam and the Qu'ran. It was released March 28 on YouTube, one day after Fitna.
Al Mouftinoun criticizes Wilders as a racist. The film was created by the AEL because they find that Muslims are being marginalised and discriminated against by Fitna [1].
Purpose
On their website, the AEL claimed the following:
The announced movie of Wilders and the Danish cartoons are part of an agenda to provoke Muslims in Europe and around the world under the flag of freedom of expression. There can be no doubt about their intentions. Defending their statements with the right of expression is deceptive. There should be a debate on the content. The right-wing movement should not be underestimated. They represent a large part of European society. They are advocating for the eradication of equality as a constitutional law. And more often advocating for constriction of the rights of ethnic minorities. The right-wing movement in the Netherlands and in Europe in general is not compatible with its own" Western " values.[2]
