It didn't make the same point at all... it spliced in segments of a documentary on crazy christian bible camps, to images of Baghdad being bombed. I guess you could say it took those Christian quotes out of context (although I'd say those OT verses were totally
in context). However the violence they chose to show didn't seem dependent on those texts. The 'Fitna' film linked the violence to the actual tenets somewhat more convincingly.
Although I'd say neither video did a particularly good job. The makers of Fitna could have shown videos of the actual suicide attackers quoting religious material in their "martyrdom" videos, along with well known terrorist leaders who cite pages of the stuff.
The maker of Schism on the other hand could have presented more direct links of the Christian Right to the Neo-conservative movement, and try and dig up something more solid from there. Didn't Bush say God talks to him or something? It'd probably be a lot trickier, but more convincing material exists.
