DVD Reviews of Islam vs. Islamists/Muslims Against Jihad
DVD Review: Is an Islamist an evil person?
Summary: 4 Stars
I was about to give this dvd one star, but I thought hell, there is no reason to. Muslims feel threatened when they think their religion is being maligned, but there is nothing wrong with talking about the truth and I feel that this video does that. As a Muslim, I know that there is a need for a gut check for all Muslims in the world. This dvd will help you know what kind of insanity is happening in it. It shows us a lot of stuff about the dark side of Islam and how moderate Muslims are trying to fight the good fight. The only problem is that the dark side has some elements within it which are from the foundation of the religion of Islam. Islamism, which is defined as the belief that Islam should guide social and political as well as personal life, is seen as something evil. It is only evil when those who are trying to enforce it with criminal activity. Someone in the video said it perfectly when he gave us the example of someone who was rich and lost all his money. When that person went by his old house, someone saw him and told him he could get him back into that house, but he will have to break some laws or do some illegal things. And that is how Muslims have been thinking for the last 20 or so odd years. They want justice to prevail and they want to be guided by the moral principles of Islam, but they want to commit violence to achieve those ends.
Jihad is also portrayed as having a negative connotation. We dont think negatively when we think of self-defense, but jihad and self-defense are almost exactly the same. Jihad comes from the word Jahada, which means strive in Arabic. Muslims are to strive against evil, both inwardly and outwardly and sometimes that outward struggle requires force or fighting. The problem arises when someone starts accusing anyone or everyone of fighting him and thinks that he can use jihad to serve his own purpose. They say that Israel is killing our Muslim brothers, the U.S. and the West wants to kill Muslims in Iraq or Afghanistan. Therefore, any American or Westerner is fair-game to be killed. This is of course insane.
The part I did not understand in the second dvd is why did the Iranian woman showed us her cleavage when she talked about women being abused and forced into marriages. Can't we have a morally upright person bring us this information? I know that we have problems within Muslims communities and there was also a story of a man who was given a command by his Father to kill his sister for wanting to get a divorce. He summed it up quite nicely when he said "no Imam ever sanctions what they do, there is an unwritten rule in our culture and that is just what you do." Honor Killings, Arranged Marriages, Suicide Bombings, and every other sick and backward activity that takes place within the boundaries of the Islamic world must not be looked at as taking place because of Islam, but because of the people following their cultures and practicing Islam incorrectly. These things never happened in the time of the Prophet or the 40 years after his death and I dont think it they will be ending anytime soon, especially when you have foreign troops in the Middle East in the exact place that just happens to be loaded with barrels of oil.

Description of Islam vs. Islamists/Muslims Against Jihad
Islam vs. Islamists: Voices from the Muslim Center" and its companion documentary, "Muslims Against Jihad," tell the story of courageous anti-Islamist Muslims in Western Europe, Canada and the United States and the extraordinary challenges they face in taking on adherents to the theo-totalitarian ideology known as Islamism. What is happening to these moderates ? who are being ostracized, bankrupted, intimidated and in some cases, threatened with death ? offers critical insights into the dangers that both they and non-Muslims are facing. These films by acclaimed Director/Producer Martyn Burke also suggest steps that can and must be taken to help empower the anti-Islamist Muslims in the struggle for their faith.Bestsellers in DVD
