LOS ANGELES, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- September 18, 2006 -- Quixotic Media, LLC announced today the upcoming DVD release of the feature documentary, "Islam: What the West Needs to Know" -- An examination of Islam, Violence, and the Fate of the Non-Muslim World, following the limited theatrical release in July.The DVD will be available nationwide on October 17.
As acts of Islamic terrorism have multiplied over the past years, numerous Western leaders have insisted that Islam is a "religion of peace," and that violence committed in its name contradicts the teachings of the Koran and the example of the prophet Muhammad. However, it's rare for this claim to receive serious scrutiny.
Now the question is finally being asked, "Is Islam itself violent?"
Through an examination of the Koran, other Islamic texts, and the example of the prophet Muhammad, this documentary establishes, through a sober and methodical presentation, that violence against non-Muslims is and has always been an integral aspect of Islam. 'Jihad,' while best translated as 'struggle,' as represented in the Koran and the life of Muhammad, means nothing less than organized warfare against unbelievers. Furthermore, Muhammad's life is the sacred and holy model that all faithful Muslims must follow today. Just as Muhammad waged war throughout Arabia in the 7th Century, his followers continued to conquer, enslave, and devastate other peoples and cultures on three continents.
An examination of Islam's doctrines is necessary now in order to understand the motivations of its faithful followers and the present violent conflicts around the globe.
Produced and directed by Gregory M. Davis and Bryan Daly, the film features interviews with noted experts on Islam including Robert Spencer, Serge Trifkovic, Bat Ye'or, Abdullah Al-Araby, and former terrorist Walid Shoebat.
The film running time is 98 minutes and is unrated but does not contain nudity, obscenity, or explicit violence.
Excellent news; glad to hear it!
This is almost like Christmas in Oct. Robert's book comes out and we get this DVD. YAY!
I've been waiting for this one. Thanks.
Finally! What took so damn long. There were these curious ads on the web, but nowhere to purchase the video!
OT/
Heard through the grapevine that CAIR's Ibraham Cooper is going to be on WMAL 630 in Washington DC this morning to discuss the recently released news story about discrimination/harassment of Muslims in the US.
Also, glad to hear that the DVD is coming out around the same time as Mr. Spencer's new book!
Great news.
DVD is both much needed and will receive wide currency.
As part of the dissemination of the truth and to encourage others to speak out (bless the pope - a great man - and I'm not even catholic) it would be well for those of us with the energy and the sense to mount campaigns of anti jihad and anti sharia - to let our fellow citizens know how we feel.
It would also be well for us to email interviewers, media people wherever that deceptive disengenuous fool Ibrahim appears, and feed them questions about and history of islam and what it has done, and what it is doing. That fool should be laughed off the stage.
Great news! I wanted very badly to take my boys to Washington D.C. to see this when it played there, but we just couldn't afford it. This will definitely be a part of our homeschooling curriculum this year.
Forgot this part:
Discusssion, with interview of Ibrahim Cooper, is on WMAL 630 in Washington, DC is from 9-10 am EST.
"Is Islam itself violent?
Any half-wit who can read and/or follow current events world wide should be able to answer this.
Unless you are a Muslim in self-denial or brain-washed.
EVen a quarter-wit should be able to figure this one out.

Is this the same Video that I have watched on youtube "what the west needs to know about islam parets 1 to 8"?
On another note - are you deleting posts as I seem to have lost one from yesterday and if so what would be the qualifying criteria for deletion ?
regards
Telling the truth about Islam on DVD will force Islamists to better examine themselves.
They're not going to like it. Expect more riots and effigy burnings.
The devil cannot countenance his image in the mirror.
FINALLY
i saw it in D.C. and have been wanting to get it to show friends and family.
somebody needs to make a hybrid movie with the amount of videos as "Obsession" and the amount of blunt truth as "Islam: what the west needs to know"
obsession is too soft on islam, while the islam movie is mosly talking heads. but its still great nonetheless and should be used in every school as an educaation tool.
Will this be showing up in Blockbuster or NetFlix?
This film could play as a double feature alongside "OBSESSION: RADICAL ISLAM'S WAR ON THE WEST."
I did not see "Islam: What the West Needs to Know." But I DID see 'Obsession' and it was staggeringly effective.
Is this copy a different version then? Or is the publisher selling it early?
