Islam: What the West Needs to Know (2006)
Compelling Documentary
25 June 2006 - 36 out of 74 users found this review helpful.
I saw this in Los Angeles at a preview screening. Probably the first film to tackle the relationship between violence and Islam. It uses real text to build its very methodical and, ultimately, chilling argument. It also uses top scholars and, in particular, the testimony of an ex-terrorist to draw you in. Doesn't even resort to manipulative music. This is both entertaining and sobering. The bottom line, it's a compelling and incredibly timely treatise on a subject that is not being accurately covered in the mainstream media. I hope that everyone sees this - either in the theaters or on DVD - importantly, we need our elected officials to see it.
