Abdullah Al-Araby, Bat Ye'or, Robert Spencer, Serge Trifkovic, Walid Shoebat

Virtually every major Western leader has over the past several years expressed the view that Islam is a peaceful religion and that those who commit violence in its name are fanatics who misinterpret i...( read more  read more... )ts tenets. This claim, while widely circulated, rarely attracts serious public examination. Relying primarily on Islam's own sources, this documentary demonstrates that Islam is a violent, expansionary ideology that seeks the destruction or subjugation of other faiths, cultures, and systems of government.

    There are always two sides to every piece of propaganda, the side that loves it and considers it to be true and the side that considers it to be filth. I have to agree with the latter, this movie is garbage. The funniest part of the whole thing is the fact that the people intervi...( read more)ewed about Islam are either Christian or Jewish. The man claiming to be a former terrorist was far too old to have been part of the PLO's terrorist program and his accounts of terror can't be recognized by either the PLO or the state of Israel. It's so easy to look at the radical side of Islam as being bad and not trying to understand where these people come from and what their history is, especially with the West. Have they done terrible and awful things in the name of Allah? Yes, and so has Christianity, Judaism, and every other major religion in the name of their deity/deities. How are the Crusades any different from the Jihad against America? They aren't. Is slaughter ok just because we are the ones killing? No it's not. People need to wake up and see that every religion has their crazies, but to consider nearly 1.5 billion people to be evil and against us is not only wrong but dangerously stupid. I should have known better then to watch this, but I was willing to give anyone a chance until proven otherwise... including the xenophobic Right Wing nut jobs that created this movie.

    This sounds totally intolerant! I don't care if the followers of Islam have different practices then my own I can't stand people who declare them all to be bad people as the description of this film seems to me to do.

    Listen Fuckers, Islam is a good, peaceful religion, those who spread false words about islam are a bunch of liars and that is final... Every religion around the world is a good religion, there is only a selection of people that screw up the world and the people living in it...

    This is a totally rediculous film. This man is causing more harm, hatred and violence trying to prove this false point and convince more naive people Islam is a violent religion.

    i think that the writter of that movie is jst an ignor a** who doesn't know shit about arab or muslims and the only thing that he thinks he knows is what the us media tells him which is controlled by us government for political causes to brain wash american people so they won't try to stop the us gov. from finishing its plane to take over the arab resources

    I think that the writer doesn't know any damn thing about the islamic culture or the muslim world, just like many who want to make a big names for themselves by talking in any sensitive subjects, and he saw that this is the best.
    There are too many thing he must know before talking to the west about what they need to know.
