From the Muslim state's rejection of Israel back in 1948 to the 1977 Camp David Accords that found Egypt eschewing "Western Peace" in favor of a "Diplomatic Strategy Against Israel," this documentary serves to highlight the many ways in which the followers of Islam have attempted to regain their former glory following a 300 year decline. After exposing Israel's confusion regarding Islamic goals and values by taking a closer look at both the Jewish nation's relationship with Yasser Arafat as well as the 1993 Oslo Accords, Gilbert turns to the tragic manner in which President George W. Bush played straight into the hands of Al-Qaeda following the 9/11 tragedy. Now, as Muslims across the globe prepare to launch a devastating attack on Israel in hopes of finally establishing a full Islamic revival, the grim truth about "Islamic Peace" finally comes into focus. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
