Quotes:

Robert Spencer: They are only at peace with their neighbors in so far as they are either ignorant of what Islam teaches about how Muslims should behave toward unbelievers, or they have explicitly rejected, consciously rejected those elements of Islam. There are in short peaceful and moderate Muslims, but no peaceful moderate Islam.

Well worth going to see

This was a mind-numbing account of what is written into the fundamentals of Islam. If it is accurate, it is frightening as can be. I wish the movie was still playing and that it will be shown all of the country, and the world. We are a nation wearing blinders of unworldliness. It has made me wonder about people I know who practice this "religion" and if they go home at night and stop being Americans behind closed doors. I also wonder if the speaker who was once a "terrorist" is for real, or if he is capitalizing on his life by selling his books. I googled him and found a lot of self-promotion which turned me off. He seemed sincere and credible in the film though.
