March 30, 2008: The NEFA Foundation is a non-profit foundation created after the attacks of September 11, 2001 in order to help prevent future tragedies in the U.S. and abroad by exposing those responsible for planning, funding, and executing terrorist activities. To that end, we routinely post the results of our research, analysis, and investigations on our website. Occasionally, groups and individuals may use our videos, documents, and reports without our knowledge or our permission. Recently, we have become aware that video footage exclusively recorded and distributed by the NEFA Foundation has been featured without authorization in a commercial film production by Dutch politician Geert Wilders. NEFA had no part in the conceptualization or production of Wilders’ film and our material was used without our consultation or authorization. While the NEFA Foundation unequivocally denounces extremist groups that incite, perpetrate, or justify acts of violence and terrorism, we likewise condemn all forms of racial and religious prejudice.
