Because the film is a reflection of the views and ideology of the man, literally a picture of how he sees Islam... and how he wants others to see Islam. I don't see why I should abandon reason, in addition to forgetting context, when evaluating this piece of propaganda.

Yes they were - like I said the best propaganda is the skillful manipulation of the truth to place it all in the context you want... which is exactly what Wilders does here, and I'm at a loss to try and understand why some here are so willing to buy into the carefully managed and constructed "truth" he pieces together. But then again some people are more apt to believe what they want to believe if the past decade of media and politics is any indication...
