Summary: The truth is not on the surface
Review: (Is it a lie that in Afghanistan and Nigeria and Iran under Sharia law that Women are oppressed, not allowed out of the house and not allowed to go to college and that they must eb covered head to toe regardless of wheher they want to or not. Islam opposes abortion, something not mentioned in the film. Islam supports the ddeath penalty, also not mentioned. In all islamic countries Gays are persecuted and ahrrased and threateend with prosecution, also not mentioned.)Let me respond first of all to this review and everyone else who says Islam is a religion of terror. It may be that women are oppressed in so called Islamic countries, but this is do to the culture of the country, not the relgion. Islam is not a facist religion of hate but has been the most peaceful among the three monotheistic faiths.It has lived sided by side with Christians and Jews and allowed them to worship freely when Muslims were in charge for more than a thousand years. This film shows some aspects of Islam but it is still missing a few elements. It has some good points and is certainly worth watching but one should not judge Islam just from watching this film, nor from hearing comments like the ones stated in the reviews. As far as things left out like the death penalty and Jihad, Saudi Arabia enforces the Death Penalty and chops a persons head off for murder. Beacuse of strict laws like this, it has the lowest crime rat in the world. Compare that with America who leads all industrialized nations in murder , rape , robbery, drug abuse, larceny, and embbezzlemnet. Who is oppressed, A muslim woman who covers herself up and does not need to struggle to work, or the American woman, who if is on her own and cannot find a job, must resort to pornography and prostitution to survive. Jihad is being misused and I a condemn Bin Laden and his crew,
but as for Muslims being oppressed in Israel, who is really a terrorist. We must not be confused with resistance and Terror. Jihad is to defend ones person or estate and never to kill innocent people. I reccomend reading the Idiots guide to Islam, if one is serious about understanding Islam.

Review: A great source of introductory knowledge for those who really want to understand what Islam really is; not what many of us perceive it to be in the West.

Summary: ALLAH PR
Review: After September 11, it's hard to reconcile the fear, hate and anti-Muslim bigotry with the seemingly beautiful religion of Mohammed as presented in INSIDE ISLAM. Jews, Christian and Moslems -- the so called "People of the Book" -- share a common ancestry with Abraham (about 2500 BC). Not only that, but Jesus, Mary and even the angel Gabriel are prominently featured in the Quran. In the Bible, God makes a promise of to Abraham's seed -- that both Isaac and Ishmael would become a great nation. They did, but a blood feud became religious and now, they still hate each other all under God's name. Two thousand plus years after Abraham, Jesus said, "Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you." Maybe that's the only solution to a world engulfed in this very real spiritual war -- a blood-soaked jihad. An information war, if you will, that's increasingly over who God is and who's God rules -- the oil.

Summary: Very nice introduction
Review: I really enjoyed this film.
I see that the other reviewers think it was biased. The point of the film was to introduce islam to people who don't know anything about it. I thought it was a wonderful film. It was not biased. The things ommitted had cause to be left out, because not all muslims share in the beliefs(Such as death penalty, that is not in the Quran!!!). The complexities can not be explained in one single film. I thought it was a very nice introduction, and quite accurate. I have been studying a lot on Islam and I definitely recommend this DVD. Very informative and captivating speakers! Beautiful footage!

Summary: hmm some things left out
Review: The movie doesnt seem to mention some key elements of Islam. THe Koran states that 'Take no christians or Jews as friends'. How is that peaceloving. THe documentary doesnt mention the widespread oppresion of women in Islam. Bill Mar siad it best when he asked "if a woman in Syria or Iran call the police and says 'my husband is beating me' the police will say 'and your point is?'". This book alse leaves otu any critique of Islam like critiques regarding the enslavement of Afircans in the Sudan and Mauritania and also the widespread atrocities committed in the name of Islam in Eastern Europe. The movie is far to biased and not ane xploration rather it is a film that seeks to convert us to this 'fastest gorwing world religion'. A bunch of lies. A total fabrication of the reality. Most documentaries of christianity mention the crusades so why cant we have some balance here and have this film mention the outright oppression of minorites in all islamic societies? Is it a lie that in Afghanistan and Nigeria and Iran under Sharia law that Women are oppressed, not allowed out of the house and not allowed to go to college and that they must eb covered head to toe regardless of wheher they want to or not. Islam opposes abortion, something not mentioned in the film. Islam supports the ddeath penalty, also not mentioned. In all islamic countries Gays are persecuted and ahrrased and threateend with prosecution, also not mentioned. A totally misleading film that only shows the positive side of a religion that has many more aspects to it.

Summary: One of the best new titles on the subject
Review: There have been a lot of bad tapes on Islam since 9/11/01. This is a GOOD one. It covers Muhammad's revelation, the growth of the religion, and cultural matters that puzzle non-Muslims. There is a touch of anti-Western bias here and there in the narration, but all in all it's a very welcome, balanced, and spiritual guide.
