What: Fitna, 17 minute long documentary which links Islam and the Koran with violence. You can watch the video here.
Where: L.B.J. Room in the Capitol.
Who: Sen. Jon Kyl.
Why? The show's producer:
“I don’t hate Muslims — I hate Islam.”
Irony: As we write, John Kerry is hosting a hearing called "Engaging with Muslim Communities Around the World".
