A Pakistani lawmaker said Sunday he will fund a movie to rebut an anti-Qur'an film made by a Dutch politician that has drawn strong condemnation in the Islamic world. The Dutch movie - “Fitna” or “ordeal” in Arabic - juxtaposes verses from the Qur'an, with images of the terror attacks on New York, Madrid and elsewhere, and shows footage of imams saying Islam should dominate the world. Pakistani Sen. Babar Awan said his film will “answer the malicious propaganda.” “This film will show Qur'an's world view. This film will show Qur'an's concept of humanity. This film will show how important human life is,” Awan said at a news conference. The 15-minute film by Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders, which appeared on the Internet on March 27, triggered angry street protests in Pakistan, Malaysia and Indonesia, as well as calls in other countries to boycott Dutch goods. Awan accused the Dutch film of labeling all Muslims terrorists, calling it “misleading, non-representative and very shallow.” He said Islamic scholars have written the script for his movie and that shooting will start soon and take about 100 days to finish. The film, which has not been named, will be in English, Arabic and Urdu - Pakistan's main language. It will be released in cinemas at the beginning of Ramadan, the Islamic fasting month, likely in September, Awan said. Awan did not say how much the movie will cost. __
