welcome, Instapundit readers!)
UPDATE: The YouTube version was pulled offline, but I found
another from Google Video via Rusty.
The ridiculousness of the film speaks for itself, I think. However, Ali Eteraz performed
the thankless task of reviewing it anyway. Also, do not miss
Thabet's link roundup about the subdued response to the film's release by muslims in Europe and elsewhere.
Warning, very graphic images. Absolutely NOT work- or children-safe.

I didn't realize that there was another part of the film after this.
So when I said I'd seen half of the film, I meant that I had seen the first half of this part.. Of course I've seen the whole thing now.
"As I discussed at a thread at Dean Esmay's blog, The film is it's own best counter-argument. It is so over the top that it undermines itself."
Funny I would say the fact that this part of the film makes no argument and lets the hatred of speeches from the pulpit and of Muslims come through is what makes it very strong.
How can it be "over the top" when the only people speaking are Muslims, their leaders and the Koran?
Do you know the world "gestalt"? This movie allows one some perspective by keeping argument out of the way and thus letting people perceive the hatred, bigotry and violence that permeates Islam and Muslims.
Aziz, you traveled thorough Sunni countries. You've been to Mecca right?
Did they make a Shiite like you feel comfortable? They didn't did they. And you're a Muslim.
I know a couple of former Muslims who tell me about how their families back in Pakistan think about everyone who isn't exactly the right sort of Muslim, who've told me how they celebrated 9/11..
You can't deny the hatred. It's not the film that's "over the top" it's the reality that's so beyond the pale that some might think that it's mere exaggeration.
do we see any major violent demonstrated by the (hardcore) Christian when the show "Da Vinci Code" was release two years back ? likewise, i hope the Islam community can practice tolerance and fan any possible detestation with peace. after all, most religion known today does condemn violent right ?
Documentaries are created to show one side of an issue. This one was made to show the other side to the media which sometimes is too politically correct.
All I can say is he left of Daniel Perl unless I missed it somewhere.
Documentaries are created to show one political point of view. This one was created to show the other side of an issue that it seems you cannot speak about because it is not politically correct.
The only thing I can saY is he forgot Daniel Perl unless I missed it somewhere.
