ISLAM - What the West Needs to Know

An examination of Islam, violence, and the fate of the non-Muslim world.
(98 mins)

Main Idea.
Virtually every major Western leader has over the past several years expressed the view that Islam is a peaceful religion and that those who commit violence in its name are fanatics who misinterpret its tenets. This claim, while widely circulated, rarely attracts serious public examination. Relying primarily on Islam's own sources, this documentary demonstrates that Islam is a violent, expansionary ideology that seeks the destruction or subjugation of other faiths, cultures, and systems of government.

Content.
The documentary consists of original interviews, citations from Islamic texts, Islamic artwork, computer-animated maps, footage of Western leaders, and Islamic television broadcasts. Its tone is sober, methodical, and compelling.

Outline of the Documentary.
Introduction.
We hear from prominent Western leaders that Islam is peaceful and that those who commit violence in its name are heterodox fanatics.

Part 1: 'There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his Prophet'
Our interviewees affirm their belief that Islamic violence is entirely orthodox behavior for Muslims and stems directly from the teachings and example of the Prophet Muhammad and the commands of the Koran. We learn that the example of Muhammad is one of a violent warlord who killed numerous people. The Koran -- the verbatim words of Allah -- prescribes violence against non-Muslims and Muhammad is the perfect example of the Koran in action.

Part 2: The Struggle
We learn that jihad, while literally meaning 'struggle', in fact denotes war fought against non-Muslims in order to bring the rule of Islamic law to the world. Violent death in jihad is, according to the Koran, the only assurance of salvation. One of our interviewees tells of his personal involvement in terrorism and his leaving Islam.

Part 3: Expansion
Following the death of Muhammad, his 'rightly-guided' successors carried his wars to three continents, fighting, enslaving, and massacring countless Christians, Jews, Zoroastrians, Hindus, and others. Islam did not spread through evangelism or through its natural appeal, but through aggressive wars of conquest. The Crusades were largely a belated response on the part of Christian Europe to rescue Christians in the Holy Land suffering under Muslim oppression. The Muslim world today, while no longer the unified empire of the Caliphs, is exceptional for being responsible for the vast majority of conflicts around the world and for almost all of international terrorism.

Part 4: 'War is Deceit'
A great problem with Western efforts to understand Islam is due to the Islamic principle of 'religious deception', which enjoins Muslims to deceive non-Muslims in order to advance the cause of Islam. Muslim groups today in the West employ deception and omission to give the impression that 'Islam is a religion of peace', an utter fiction.

Part 5: More than a Religion
The most important characteristic of Islam not understood by the West is that it is more a system of government than a personal religion. Throughout its history, Islam has never recognized a distinction between the religious and the secular/political. Islamic law governs every aspect of religious, political, and personal action, which amounts to a form of totalitarianism that is divinely enjoined to dominate the world, analogous in many ways to Communism.

Part 6: The House of War
Islamic theology divides the world into two spheres locked in perpetual combat, dar al-Islam (House of Islam - where Islamic law predominates), and dar al-harb (House of War - the rest of the world). It is incumbent on dar al-Islam to fight and conquer dar al-harb and permanently assimilate it. Muslims in Western nations are called to subvert the secular regimes in which they now live in accordance with Allah's command. Due to political correctness and general government and media irresponsibility, the danger posed by observant Muslims in the West remains largely unappreciated.

  • Islamic culture is insane at a fundamental level. The greatest achievement of the Islamic religion is that although Muhammad should correctly be classified with Pol Pot, Hitler and Stalin, Islam has somehow convinced a billion people that he is not just a good man, but the very paragon of men. When you are dealing with denial of this magnitude and scale it is hard to know what to say. Islam is built upon a stupendous suspension of objectivity.

  • Islam stands for killing anyone who is a non-believer.

  • @RasputinStream Agreed. If the Koran considered all People of the Book to be disbelievers, then the sentence would mean "the disbelievers among the disbelievers"...that makes absolutely no sense!

  • 1:14:10 Shoebat says that according to Muslims you cannot go to heaven if you don't pray in Arabic. However, he gives no ebvidence for this assertion. Anyone know the evidence he would use?

  • At 1:01:35 Spncer seems to be disingenuous regarding the Koran's authorizing lying. Read the quotations he cites for yourself and see. It says instead that someone who is forced to lie or renounce his faith will not be punished by God. Keep in mind, Peter lied about knowing Jesus (denied him three times), and Jesus still made Peter the "rock" on which to build his church. Peter was scared for his life. Seems like Peter was acting like a good Muslim at that moment.

  • Guys, have you seen the video "THIS IS THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT" with Mark Steyn?

    Really shocking.....!

  • Why am I not surprised that even the quotes from the holy Quran in this video are completely false. Incompetent little Zionist pricks

    12:15: Surah 98:6 "Indeed, those who disbelieve*D* AMONG the People of the Scripture [monotheists] and the POLYTHEISTS will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the worst of creatures" - Project Qu'ran

    Anyone who studied the Holy Quran knows this verse refers to people who denied the original message of monotheism. "La ilaha ilallah"

  • This whole video is a waist of server space.

    Islam as a religion never claims to tolerate injustice, violence nor oppression but indeed justifies self defense by any means necessary. As if Muslims should explain their right to violence after 400 years of colonialist oppression, war and mayhem conducted by West all across the planet. Get the fck out of here.

  • what is the tv show at 44:10? Anyone know?

    

  • Very good and informative docu. Can't understand it has so few views.

  • i dont know how sincere the first comments made by blair and bush were, but they were correct

    terrorism has nothing to do with religion - terrorists just use/manipulate religion to their own ends
