New documentary denigrating Islam ready for release |
2006-06-13 |
A new documentary aimed at denigrating Islam and attempting to show that it is not a religion of peace but war and conflict is due to be released in three US cities on July 7. The documentary called 'Islam: what the West needs to know' has been produced by a company with the improbable name of Quixotic Media and will be initially released in Washington, Atlanta and Chicago. The 98-minutes film's main idea, according to the producers, is that it is not correct that those who commit violence in the name of Islam misinterpret the religion's teachings, because Islam is a "violent, expansionary ideology that seeks the destruction or subjugation of other faiths, cultures and systems of government". The documentary consists of interviews, selected citations from Islamic texts and Islamic artwork, computer-animated maps, Islamic television broadcasts and footage featuring Western leaders. The producers claim that the film's tone is "sober, methodical and compelling". |

#4 Will it be available in DVD? I'm thinking we should send some thousands to the White House and congress. |

#3 If telling the truth is 'denigration', let the denigration begin. |

#2 Yeah, if you can load it on an Ipod or play it on a DVD player instead of having to get out the "hooked on phonics" kit, the word may get out. |

#1 Good news. Good timing. Hope everyone goes to see it, since the vast majority of Americans no longer seem to be able to read and comprehend. So pictures are welcome. |
