Despite numerous threats from several Muslim countries and al-Qaeda, Fitna – Geert Wilders’ movie about jihad, the Qur’an and the radical followers of Islam – has finally launched on LiveLeak. (h/t: Michelle Malkin)

Warning: Graphic content including some footage of beheading murders.

UPDATE: Google and YouTube now have it too, but LiveLeak must be getting hit hard because they’ve issued a statement:

LiveLeak.com has a strict stance on remaining unbiased and allowing freedom of speech as so far as the law and our rules allow. There was no legal reason to refuse Geert Wilders the right to post his film (Fitna) on LiveLeak.com and it is not our place to censor people based on an emotive response. We in no way endorse Geert Wilders, his views, nor the views expressed within Fitna. To many of us involved in LiveLeak.com some of the messages therein are personally offensive. That being said, our being offended is no reason to deny Mr Wilders the right to have his film seen. Pre-emptive censorship or a discriminatory policy towards freedom of speech are both things we oppose here on LiveLeak.com. A person has a simple, clear choice about whether to view this film. No one is being forced to view it and nor is it being broadcasted on every channel on their television set. If you click on media simply to be annoyed, it is pointless to blame others for your choice.

We do not intend on defending the content of Fitna, only our choice to allow it. Anyone has the full right of reply on LiveLeak.com. Any person or organizations are free to post their opinion and, dependent on said response falling within both the law and our rules, we will afford such responses equal exposure. There are undoubtedly better ways to spark a discussion but this film is now out there and we believe we should all grasp this opportunity to create an open dialogue and discussion on this subject.

UPDATE: The film has been criticized for having showing the Mohammed cartoon without permission, and for this error: filmmaker Geert Wilders mistakenly showed the face of hip-hop artist Salah Edin in place of Mohammed Bouyeri, the murderer of Theo Van Gogh.

That said, the confusion over the correct picture doesn’t invalidate Wilders’ message: millions of radical Islamists pose a grave danger to everyone. Muslims and non-Muslims alike must stand up against the intolerance of their world conquest theology.

UPDATE: Movie reposted to replace the LiveLeak version that was taken down.
