Fetching updates...The Most Censored Films About Religion?
April 11, 2009
In this internet age, censorship of film and video critical of religion might become more difficult. Or maybe not, if few websites are willing to display them, for fear of legal action or violence. Those who maintain both bandwidth capacity and moral courage deserve gratitude.
It is hard to say which film about religion may have aroused the most censorship. An instructive recent example of video censorship is provided by Fitna, the 2008 film by Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders. Among the reactions to this film was another film titled Schism.
To see Fitna and Schism visit wikileaks and also read the wikileak commentary and analysis of censorship.
On the topic of criticism of Islam, mention should be made of the 2004 film Submission by Ayaan Hirsi Ali (a member of the Dutch parliament) and Theo Van Gogh (filmmaker murdered by a Muslim radical in 2004). See this film here:
