The people in Denmark are indeed feeling very sorry for what Geert Wilders did and to compensate that, many people from Denmark have made lots of movie with the same title of FITNA THE MOVIE so that many viewers will be failing to watch the documentary. This is what the common message when they uploaded their "sorry movie".
We are sorry! You too? Check: http://www.mediamatic.net/ Please make a video with the title "Fitna" saying you're sorry for Wilders's behavior, so his film will be lost between all the fake fitna-videos. Thank you!
Is it still fair to boycott the Danish products? I don't know. Probably it's better to urge the Danish to stop voting for Geert Wilders. Have a look at the below article taken from here.
As many muslims around the world have come to know the broadcasting of a 15-min documentary produced by a Dutch party's leader, Geert Wilders, called Fitna, hosted by LiveLeak.com, there have been up-roars in many muslim countries around the globe. The title of the film speaks for itself what is the intention of the film. Before I talk about the title, just look at the track record of the producer. He is clearly a great supporter of Israel, an enemy of Islam for his remarks, a follower of US policy and a very insecure person for his absent in parliament and special seat in the parliament due to safety reasons. He is also hunger of power as he left a party that he has joined for a long time and formed a new party using his name but then changed to a party that uses 'Freedom' as the name of the party. Clearly he needs to learn what does 'freedom' mean.
Al-fitnah has been interpreted with so many meanings, even the wikipedia has a say in this - "disagreement and division among people", or a "test of faith in times of trial". Ibn Kathir in interpreting Surah al-Baqarah verse 217 said that in the verse "Al-Fitnah is worse than killing", al-Fitnah means "trying to force the Muslims to revert from their religion and re-embrace Kufr after they had believed". Ibn Kathir also said that al-Fitnah can mean "what you (disbelievers) are committing" or "shirk or polytheism". In Surah al-Anfal verse 39, Ibn Kathir said that al-Fitnah is "Muslim is persecuted so that he abandons his religion"
In Surah Yunus verse 85, al-Fitnah is interpreted by Ibn Kathir as trial, trial from the wrongdoers, from those who denied the truth and covered it. In Surah al-Ankabut verse 10, al-Fitnah is a trial that "trial is leaving Islam if they are made to suffer for Allah".
Clearly al-Fitnah is a trial, temptation, persecution, torture and any other form of saying and action that can lead muslims into disbelieving after believing. Leading believers to disbelieving is a form of mischief or corruption. It is no wonder that many muslims call for the death of the documentary producer. But if we know that what he is spreading is al-Fitnah, we as muslims should try our best to prevent the al-Fitnah from spreading among the muslims. Since the documentary has been produced, killing the producer will not solve the problem, but by stopping the spread of the message of this documentary and trying to explain the fitnah that this documentary is trying to spread inshaALLAH can help stop the fitnah.
I am glad that no other channel is hosting this documentary and so muslims should stop spreading this documentary as it carries fitnah. If the producer kept spreading the fitnah, we have the responsibility to stop him because clearly in the Qur'an ALLAH has commanded us to stop the fitnah wherever we find it but if they stop spreading fitnah, we should cease.
I really hope that muslim scholars can provide interpretations of the below verses quoted in the documentary in a more contemporary and in-context method so that both muslims and non-muslims can truly understand the message sent down by the Most Merciful and Most Gracious Lord of All Mankind:
8: 60; 4: 56; 47: 4; 4: 89; 8: 39
The producer urges the muslims to tear off half of the Qur'an because he thinks that half of the Qur'an encourage terrorism but he only quoted 5 verses from more than 6000 verses of the whole Qur'an, which is less than 0.0008% and of course these 0.0008% of verses of the Qur'an do not permit terrorism. It is only in the hearts of those who have yet studied the real meanings of these verses, the stories behind the revelation of these verses and hadiths related to them that they think that these verses permit terrorism. If only they come to realise how Merciful ALLAH is and how the Prophet Muhammad (saw) is sent down as a mercy to all mankind...
So, please study the whole Qur'an, Arabic, Hadith, 'Ulum al-Qur'an, Asbab an-Nuzul before you make another documentary regarding any verse in the Qur'an, or you are just an ignorant politician.
To all muslim brothers and sisters, please let's not be emotional in facing this fitnah. I don't know if demanding the death of the producer or boycotting Danish products is a way out of this or is it the same as what the Zionists do to the Palestinians - collective punishment? This is because many Danish have expressed their apologies to the muslims and claimed that the politician doesn't represent their views. Read here. No matter what it is, let's fight evil with good as what the Prophet (saw) preached and turn this trial into a chance to make da'wa.
ALLAHU'alam.
Wassalam.
