A Major Disappointment

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Hi, First let me clarify, I am from India & no I am not a Muslim. I understand the concept behind the documentary and was expecting a more meaningful insight on terrorism. This is a movie which is completely biased with one sided agenda & that is to propagate a theory of third jihad.Really... Just because you are a Muslim based in US of A does not give you a right to justify that the entire Islam community is inclined towards a third jihad. Open your eyes look around you, You will find Muslim preachers telling you what is happening or promoted by a small community of so called Muslims is wrong..I must say that I was surprised by the views of some of the highly educated people. Overall you can watch it if you are looking to blame Muslim as a community but as a message which is expected from a documentary you will be sorely disappointed.

Solid film from top to bottom. Very educational. Each person appearing in the film has a long history in educating people about the real Islam. By following up on Dr. Jasser for example one can find that he has testified at congressional hearings, has an excellent website. Walid Phares is a scholar with many books backing up everything he says. Ayan Hirsi Ali has an interesting story. Her books can be purchased for those wishing to obtain an insiders look at the religion she was born into. The details of her life are great reading. I think the film could be better. This is why I gave it 9 stars. I think it would be interesting to have Islamic scholars show for example how the news media in general and individuals in particular distort the truth about Islam. Comparing scholars such as Said and scholars from Egypt on points would provide an interesting example of how we in the West have been misled. The same can be said for many articles in the New York Times reporting of events where Islam is central. Finally, I would like to have seen the film discuss how school textbooks in the USA teach a whitewashed version of Islam. Nevertheless, the film accomplishes a great deal and uncovers much that all Americans need to know.

I watched this "documentary" after reading the reviews here in IMDb. Whenever a large percentage of reviewers give a film the highest rating and a large percentage give it the lowest rating, you can bet that it is about real life politics. In this case, an effort has been put into giving Muslims a negative image while, at the same time, attempting to appear fair and even handed. Many "documentaries" (I won't mention the name of a certain chubby American documentary maker) are made to validate and support the preset opinions of the documentary maker. In other words, it is not a search for truth, it is a propaganda effort. Propaganda can be blunt or subtle depending on the target audience. This is subtle. We should remember that America and Israel and other nations started out by acting as "terrorists" to the existing authorities. While it is true that there are anti-American and anti-western Muslims that would commit mayhem if given the chance, there is no effort to examine their motivations. They are simply assumed to be evil. Additionally, this number of "terrorists" is microscopic as a percentage of Muslims world wide. My recommendation is to see this film. While watching it, remain aware if the film maker is trying to manipulate your feelings and opinion. Are both sides fairly presented? This is the true value of this film and the reason that I give it 5 stars.

Told through the eyes of an American Muslim physician (and former officer in the Navy Medical Corps), this production does a VERY good job of laying-out the threat posed to the West by Islamic fundamentalists (Islamofascists, jihadists, Muslim radicals...call them what you will). The various chapters explore everything from the fund-raising support to terrorists (that largely emanates from Saudi Arabia, the Persian Gulf states, and other recipients of petrodollars), to the threat of surging numbers of totally unassimilated Muslims in Western Europe, to the threat of al-Qaeda getting their bloody hands on a nuclear device, or developing their own radiological "dirty bomb" or biological or chemical weapons.In my opinion, this film does NOT slander Muslims in general, nor does it over-state the threat. Since it's been 8 years since 9/11 with no successful further attack on US soil, I fear many North Americans have succumbed to the wishful-thinking indulgence of assuming that 9/11 was a one-off fluke that can never be repeated.This film respectfully suggests that such thinking is dangerously deluded.
