Keeping in mind there are no countries that follow this tradition, with the money and power base all emanating from it.

The second link is actually a full featured movie, and it is meant to be humorous.

I think we should be aware of the type of racism the first link shows. It is more immediate because this is what we are up against in Iraq.

The first film summed it up nicely near the end. How much should the people of the Netherlands protect a religion that preaches killing people who speak against principles inside that religion. How long should countries that believe in individual freedom allow religions such as this in our country who execute their females within the country. This is done via beheading.

I appreciate your need to be minimalistic, when faced with the obvious most people prefer obfuscation.

Marxist talked about the exploitation of children by their parents. Who can deny that either of these videos is that, I can't, but which is more frightening.

Read Satrapi's Persepolis. It gives a great insight into fanaticism and how the majority must bow to the minority

Probably the biggest difference is that the filmmaker of the second film did not die, his life was not threatened, there are not hits on his family. In the first film, the person died because he made it. There was a religious hit on his life, that was carried out within a supposedly free country.
