With those people and their use of scripture to further their own political and ideological ends yes... not with the scripture.
Hell I can think of another leader that talked about scripture, speaking to God, a crusade etc. before going to war...

And that those same leaders, who no doudt had at least something to do with the threats against film, see nothing wrong with what they do all in the name of Islam and M-d?

No more so than any extremist - they operate by their own twisted logic to make the ideology fit their perception of reality... it's pretty much the hallmark of ideological extremism isn't it? Yet this seems to be something that Wilders conveniently neglects in his quest to ban Muslim immigrants and ban the Qu'ran - he is allowing his hate and bigotry to cloud his mind just as much as the extremists he depicts as the norm...
