WTF?- School shows "Fitna," made by the anti-Islam and anti-immigration Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders

SOMERSET, Ky. (AP) -- A Kentucky girl is seeking counseling after her class at a Kentucky high school watched a short film that showed beheadings and other violence allegedly committed by Muslims, the student's father said Tuesday.

Bill Cruey said his daughter Amber, 17, was horrified by images of children being injured and dead bodies interspersed with readings from the Quran while watching the film "Fitna," made by the anti-Islam and anti-immigration Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders.

Pulaski County Superintendent Tim Eaton said Tuesday that the teacher's intent was to commemorate the Sept. 11 terror attacks and discuss the dangers of extremism -- "not only of Muslims but other viewpoints, too."

"The intent of the lesson and discussion was very appropriate," Eaton said. "However, the teacher's choice of the clip was not appropriate, and that's been dealt with.

"She stood up for what's right, and then everybody's kind of teasing her," he said.

Aly A. Farag, imam at a Louisville mosque, criticized the school for exposing students to a "very tilted and utterly hateful message about a religion."

Is "Birth of a Nation" up next? Good grief! At the moment, I can't think of a more racist and hateful piece of propaganda against Islam.
Geert Wilders certainly earned a membership in the KKK.
