| A necessary DVD to own | 2008-12-27 | 5 / 5 |
| | One of the most important films on the nature of evils done in the name of Islam. Surprisingly, many of my liberal friends have been shocked by their own naivety when I first made them watch this movie. This DVD is an important one. It sheds light on the Jihadism and the fact that Islam is a truly evil ideology. Watch this if you'd like to learn more about the nature of Islamism. |

| | despite the way that the DVD was recieved in the media (CNN, ABC, FOX etc) This is not a racist/bigoted portrayal of Islam and the manners and methods it keeps. Though not entirely objective the film makers made a point a tfocusing on the use of religious ideology to achieve political and military ends and how absolutely strong, decisive and unwielding the believers are. Most Americans have never seen Saudi or Iranian TV broadcasts, read newspapers from Iran/Saudi Arabia/Syria; but they should to see just how vehomently these people hate us and how widespread this system of belief is. Now I have Muslim friends, and even they think this should be watched so that people can see the power of Jihadi thought. Alos that thought is not half way across the world, it is here in America. I travled across the globe to many placea nd it is everywhere, on the streets of New York, In Deerbourne, Michigan, out in California. By ignoring this (and other sources) of actual coverage and relying on the "We must be P.C. TV news" you are falling victim (literally and figuratively) to the smoke screen of Jihadi apologists and the quiet coup of CAIR. This is worth the time and few bucks, besides, that Harry Potter book isn;t going to tell you jack about the world, so why waste your cash on it? |
| Understanding the Radical-Islamist Mind | 2008-12-07 | 5 / 5 |
| | This movie provides an important element in understanding the big picture. In addition to the various relevant social, historical & geo-political issues, it is important to understand the radical-islamist/jihadist mind-set and what is (fundamentally) motivating them. |
| Much better than I thought... | 2008-12-01 | 4 / 5 |
| I held off on viewing this in fear of it being a propagandist piece of video to get another Bush prototype elected. I was wrong. While it is prefaced with the statement that not all Muslims are of this radical strain, by the time it gets about halfway through and estimates of 10-15% of all Muslims (numbering roughly 1 billion people) are supportive of this radical Islam, its a very real wakeup call. Whether or not that number is fair or accurate I don't know.
But when the images of preachers of hate come at you one after the other and images of young children speak of being martyrs or dying for Allah, the viewer quickly realizes that this is in fact quite disturbing and it is not going away.
What stood out most of all was the comparison of this strain of Islamo-Fascism with Nazism, the ties between the two drawn explicitly by the rise of a Panzer division of Muslims in Bosnia due to the allegiance of ideology between Hitler and the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. It's quite a stunning climax.
The weakest part of the film is tracing its historical roots. There is some brief mention of its history but it lacks depth and context. In this, I fear, it will simply reinforce or further aggrandize those who already think Islam is only this.
Whether or not the conclusions and the fears stirred up by this documentary hold up with some distance from it, it does provide a very clear perspective that needs to be considered. |
| Hopefully It Reaches a General Audience | 2008-11-22 | 3 / 5 |
| Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West," a documentary by Wayne Kopping, is nothing if not controversial. And, it may, indeed, be a bit one-sided. But everybody is entitled to express their point of view in this country.
Kopping has found and integrated many little-known clips from Arabic-language television, including one horrifying little drama about Jews seeking a boy's blood to make their Passover matzos. He also draws explicit parallels between the Jewish hatred of Nazi Germany, and the Jewish hatred we are now seeing among Islamic radical anti-Americans. He has interviewed Sir Martin Gilbert, well-known historian; Professor Robert Wistrich, and Prof. Alan Dershowitz, among others. His aim: to show us the hatred the Islamic radicals are teaching their young, their desire to incite global jihad, and their aim of world domination.
In recent years these terrorists have, of course, attacked New York's World Trade Center twice, the Pentagon, transportation systems in London and Madrid, hotels in Bali and Egypt, American shipping, soldiers' barracks and embassies, and we've seen all this carnage in color on our TV's. Yet we see here a clip of left-winger Michael Moore denying terrorism exists, and we hear that various other deniers claim that Jewry and/and or the American government itself are responsible for this bloodshed. And who can forget Ward Le Roy Churchill, former professor of ethnic studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder, who, shortly after the attacks of 9/11/2001, wrote an article entitled "On the Justice of Roosting Chickens," in which he claimed that people killed in the WTC attack had somehow brought it upon themselves.
So this film can function as a useful corrective to all these many deniers that surround us. Hopefully, it's not so alarmist and propagandist as to be off-putting to the open-minded general audience, and end up preaching only to the choir.
