New documentary denigrating Islam ready for release

By Khalid Hasan

WASHINGTON: 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”.

<snip>

“Islamic theology,” the film will attempt to prove “divides the world into two spheres locked in perpetual combat and it is incumbent on the sphere where Islamic law prevails to fight and conquer the one where it does not. Muslims in Western societies, the documentary alleges, are called to subvert the secular regimes in which they live. As such, the “danger posed by observant Muslims in the West remains largely unappreciated”.

I checked Quixotic's website, but predictably, whoever is behind this dreck is keeping a low profile.

1. You can change "Islam" to "Xtian" and it has the same meaning.
Just sayin'. :shrug:
