Such power I have! This fellow thinks I created moderate Islam, and the Southern Poverty Law Center and other purveyors of the “Islamophobia” myth think I created suspicion of Islam among people in the U.S. and the West in general. You can only hope that you yourself won’t run afoul of my Zionist black arts.
This clip is taken from the extraordinary new documentary Jihadists, which will be opening in New York City on January 25 at Cinema Village and February 1 in Los Angeles at Laemmle’s Music Hall theatre. The filmmakers traveled into jihadi-controlled territory in Northern Africa and compiled lengthy interviews with some of the world’s most-wanted jihadists, including Omar Ould Hamaha ‘Red Beard’ of the Belmokhtar Group and Sanda Ould Bounamama of Ansar Dine, both in Mali. They also captured footage of life under Sharia, and intertwined it with footage released by the Islamic State in order to show these ideas in practice.
The film faced a major censorship battle in France (the home country of the filmmakers), which you can read about in the Guardian.
