Iran planning to shoot anti-Christian film

PanARMENIAN.Net - Stung by a Dutch lawmaker's graphic documentary depicting barbaric acts carried out in the name of Islam and the Koran, an Iranian film organization says it is producing a counter-documentary, "Beyond Fitna."



Iran's FARS news agency reports the film focuses on "orders given to worldwide Christians in the (distorted) version of the Bible for stoking violence, committing genocide, attacking others, beheading and burning women and children who have been taken into captivity."



The Iranian film announcement comes a week after far-right Dutch politician Geert Wilders released his 17-minute film, "Fitna" in the Web.



The release of "Fitna" on March 27 sparked noisy protests from Islamic groups and leaders - some threatening Wilders with death - and the United Nations and several nations called for the removal of the film from video Web sites such as Google and YouTube, FOX News reports



Iranian parliament speaker Gholamali Haddadadel called on his country's citizens to boycott Dutch goods. European states will leave the road if they see threat to their economy," he said.
