Dutch congresswoman finishes script to second film

    BRUSSELS, Nov. 17 (Xinhuanet) -- Dutch congresswoman Ayaan Hirsi Ali has announced she has finished the script to her new film Submission 2, which denounces discrimination against homosexuals in Islamic countries, Radio Netherlands reported on Thursday.

    Hirsi Ali, who is of Somali descent, spotlighted oppression of women in Islamic culture in her first film Submission 1.

    The film, directed by Theo van Gogh, caused outrage among DutchMuslims, many of whom found it offensive and blasphemous.

    Theo van Gogh was later murdered by a Muslim extremist on a street of Amsterdam in November of last year.

    However, Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reported on Thursday Ali has received a very serious threat from the imam Sheik Fawaz Jneidin The Hague.

    The sheik wrote in a letter on the website elqalem.nl that Hirsi Ali is being "blown away by the wind of changing times" and that she "should be weighed down by the curse of Allah."

    Sources in political circles in The Hague said that the threat can be seen as a fatwa, a judgment that must be carried out by followers.

    The public prosecution department in The Hague is handling the report. The sheik himself does not see his letter as a threat. He says that he is exercising his freedom of speech. Enditem
