-On 14 December 2009, "Facing Jihad" conference was organized at the Begin Center in Jerusalem.  Present were: [[Geert Wilders]], [[Arieh Eldad]], [[Robert Spencer]], [[Itamar Marcus]], [[Daniel Pipes]], [[Shlomo Sharan]], [[John David Lewis]], etc.  During the conference the film [[Fitna]] was shown, it was distributed to all conference participants, and it was announced that the film would be shown in several European parliaments.  The curious element is that the conference registration address was at the Ruder Finn PR company.  Upon contacting [[Elie Klein]], an account executive at Ruder Finn, it became evident that the company had organized the conference and set up the group's website.  Ruder Finn is also actively distributing ''Fitna''; one can obtain a free copy of the film by asking [[Lisa Lidor]] at lisa@ruderfinn.co.il
