DVD Reviews of Islam: What the West Needs to Know - An examination of Islam, Violence, and the Fate of the Non-Muslim World.
DVD Review: hate
Summary: 1 Stars
I have just finished reading What the world needs to know. As disturbing as it was I forced myself to finish the book. Here are my views on it.
I suspect everyone who is viewing the religion of Al-Islam as a personal attack against humanity, should read a little about Colonialism. Colonialism was and is based on Christianity. All suffering nations and third world suffering countries are and can be traced to this. Does this make it right for those fanatics who misinterpret Quran to harm innocent people? OF COURSE NOT. Did it make it ok for those who killed millions of Black people during the KKK era of this country in the name of Christianity? NO. Did it make it ok for Nazis to kill millions of Jewish people during the holocaust? Absolutely not. Lets talk about Darfur, the Sudan, Afganistan and the horrendous atrocities that are happening all over the globe. They are all wrong and evil. My forefathers were bought to this country in the bowels of a boat, most of them died on the middle passage. I am a product of the ones that made it. They were taught according to the BIBLE that they were sub human, they were taught according the the BIBLE they were the cursed children of Ham. This is misinterpretations from your Bible folks. Think about it! Perhaps it is to heavy for you to think about because you are so deeply steeped in hatred and prejudices yourselves. I know in my soul irrespective of nationality, religion, culture etc. that there is a growing body of people who are joined together and enlightened to make this world a better place. We are all hearing the truth that we are ONE!
DVD Review: This Is Not The OFFICIAL Release
Summary: 5 Stars
Islam: What the West Needs to Know (This is a link to the AUTHORIZED version). The authorized directors' version is the one with the black and red cover released on July 17, 2007 (pre-orders being taken now). Amazon has it, you just got to an old page from when the film was pre-released in a small batch by the producers. Those copies are all long gone so anyone selling this version is selling bootlegged or used copies.DVD Review: This is what the west needs to know!!
Summary: 5 Stars
A couple of years ago I decided I needed to become informed regarding Islam, so began. All told I guess I've read about 40 books and now have a pretty good idea about what it is. The first book I went out and bought and read, was the Koran, because I thought l may as well go to the source and get the info straight.
Contra earlier reviewers - `Ehab M. Omar "Newman"', `Dr Saleem Ahmed', `Sky Lion "SkyLion"' - reading the Koran did not convert me, nor was it a magic bullet, knock over evidence in favour of Islam. In fact, to quote Thomas Carlyle as quoted in the excellent book `Secrets of the Koran' by Don Richardson, the Koran is "A wearisome jumble, crude, incondite [with] endless iterations [and] longwindedness...Nothing but a sense of duty could carry any European through the Koran.' And so it was with me. I slogged through it, not because it was brilliant, gripping, diverse literature - it most certainly is not, rather drab and uniform from beginning to end - nor because despite its hell fire and damnation on virtually every page, it had the ring of truth and the divine about it - it most certainly did not. It is the most turgid, boring, incomprehensible writing I have ever read. And according to Richardson, it is even more incomprehensible in Arabic! It is more comprehensible in translation because at least in a translation, the translator tries to make what is being translated comprehensible! But then of course, a translation is not THE Koran, as only the Koran in Arabic - the holy tongue - is the Koran, so I never really read the Koran did I, and no one who does not know Arabic can do so!
(Saleem; where did you get that ridiculous statistic that 3 out of 4 people who read the Koran accept Islam? I'm sure that huge numbers of Westerners have read the Koran in the last few years, though have not been converted but repulsed by it. I imagine like me they read it so as to become informed.)
Well...in my reading I came to cut through all the baloney being put out by idiot PC Western leaders who to this day keep assuring us that Islam is a `religion of peace', and that it is only a few disaffected Moslems who have hijacked the `great religion' who are a threat to the West. It became abundantly clear, that it is Islam itself, built on the explicit teachings of the Koran and Hadith's, and on the example of the Islamic `perfect man', Mohammed, which is the threat. 1400 years of these explicit teachings and example being followed has wreaked death, destruction, and slavery on an mind numbing scale, over vast areas. And today the same is occurring all around the world. When a bomb goes off somewhere, you can almost guarantee, 99 times out of 100, Moslems planted it.
The talk today about moderate/peaceful Moslems and radical/jihadist/terrorist Moslems, is I think a false dichotomy. Rather what you have are inconsistent Moslems and consistent Moslems - and the consistent, orthodox ones are the radicals/jihadists because they follow the Koran and example of Mohammed, and the others, for whatever reason, don't. The only place it appears you can have `reformist' Muslims is in the West because in Islamic countries, reformists end up dead as heretics. But then in the West you have the out-working of `taqiyya' - Muslim lying to further the Islamic cause. At the end of the day, can any Muslim in the West be trusted? With taqiyya as a Mohammed established/authorised doctrine, I don't see how they can be.
So...when I heard that `Islam: What the West Needs to Know', was available, I purchased it immediately, and it confirmed what I had already discovered. It is not entertainment, nor can be called a nice dvd, but never the less should be required viewing. It has no razzamatazz or glitz whatever, but is solid information from beginning to end. The jutaposition of Western leaders making their starry-eyed public statements, with blunt statements of Islamic authorties contradicting them was most enlightening. (Where do Western leaders get their information from? Muslims practising taqiyya?) The technical quality could be improved, but that should not get in the way, nor be allowed to. The content is clear and unemotional, coming from people who know the subject inside out. And, with it simply examining the actual words of Islamic authorities, and avoiding secondhand or adversarial sources, it plays the strongest hand possible. I highly recommended it.
(I would suggest to the makers of it - perhaps they are already planning or working on this - that they put out a second version with upgraded illustrations and more of them. When anything can be illustrated it should be. This would make it more accessible for more people and be more visually interesting.)
DVD Review: A MUST SEE!
Summary: 5 Stars
No one should miss this. Educated info. NO scare tactics. Just info!DVD Review: Balanced and fair documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
Since Islam is in the media so often, it is important to become acquainted with an acurate history and representation, or else succomb to various distortions within our society.
This documentary is very well balanced and fair, judging from all the history I have read in the past couple years from my curiousity of Islam. Distortions about Islam are discussed, as well as an explanation of Islam using its own sources, and some historical examples for context.
It is documentary style, not "Hollywood", so don't expect superb graphics. For the specific focus of the documentary, it is well done. Indeed, I strongly recommend this documentary because there are things that our western society needs to understand about Islam, that are not compatible with our values, and we cannot afford to be deceived in this respect.
Description of Islam: What the West Needs to Know - An examination of Islam, Violence, and the Fate of the Non-Muslim World.
This feature documentary sets out in unmistakable terms that Islamic civilization is at war with the West. While many documentaries have been made on terrorism, this is the first to examine the origins, doctrines, and history of Islam itself. Far from merely a personal faith, Islam is in fact a system of government, a political ideology that seeks to subdue the entire earth under its rule. While Muhammad was a religious leader, he was also a warlord who fought and killed those who opposed him. It is his example and the violent commandments of the Koran that have inspired Muslims since the seventh century AD to wage war upon every civilization with which they have come into contact. Muslims who wage jihad in the name of Islam today, far from being "extremists" or "radicals," are merely carrying out a central tenet of their faith. While Western leaders continue to insist that Islam is peaceful, orthodox Muslims throughout the world are working hard to destroy Western civilization and replace it with the rule of Islamic law.Candid, sober, and compelling, Islam: What the West Needs to Know, is a wake up call for America and Europe.
