thats one way to look at it. and it is true that the film (or any propoganda) has a very low success rate in terms of persuasion capability. most people who buy into the ideology of "fitna" already bought into it. and those who would call it "rubbish" would have said that before they watched the movie. this is undoubtedly true.
but the clearest indicator of whether its working or not is to see what happens. is wilders upset at the prosecution or does he embrace it for whatever reason? since he clearly views it in a negative light, our job is done. we must simply do whatever negates him. especially since this is actually working withing the law and establishment.
