<p>I sort of get your point. :) AVAL....</p>
<p>The film is not just 'poorly made'. This person isn't a film-maker at all. It's not much different than the usual Jihadi hate video, produced in some shack, cheap overlays and all, snippet stapled to snippet and a generous portion of vitriol. <br />
There isn't a single instance in this 'movie' that tells me I am watching proper, scientificly researched facts. Unfortunately enough, this 'movie' will land where people couldn't care less whether 'facts' bear any truth or whether it's just hate speech.</p>
<p>Not relating to your post or comment, but I don't think that the fact that this person is Jerusalem-flashy-wise pro-Israel makes him a saint or puts him in the position to spread extremist views the way he does. If at all, it makes him an insane and dangerous person. Not only that it doesn't make him better than any other extremists sitting on the other side, but it is no asset to the debate about the overall conflict and the disturbing clashes of cultures, believes and co-existing. Things are a bit more complex than putting Islamist hate preachers pars-pro-toto, and with complex things in general, they are best handled by persons who know what they're doing.</p>
<p>Lastly - shouldn't it set off alarm bells in everyone to learn that this person claims this 'movie' as his " 'Mein Kampf' of today"? </p>Gila commented on 'If a film this shocking had been made about Judaism...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e551a3fd8288342008-04-01T20:09:17Z2008-04-01T20:09:18ZGilahttp://www.myshrapnel.blogspot.comLove the Pat Condell clip--will definitely look up more of his stuff.<p>Love the Pat Condell clip--will definitely look up more of his stuff. </p>The Back of the Hill commented on 'If a film this shocking had been made about Judaism...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e5519e86e488342008-03-31T20:43:39Z2008-03-31T20:43:39ZThe Back of the Hillhttp://atthebackofthehill.blogspot.com/That was the most enjoyable six minutes and thirty-two seconds I have had in a very, very long time.

<p>Not in the US. The networks, for example, very early on made a decision not to show the planes going into the World Trade Center. Too "distressing," too "inflammatory," whatever.</p>Jack commented on 'If a film this shocking had been made about Judaism...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e5519bcab288342008-03-31T02:26:53Z2008-03-31T02:26:53ZJackhttp://wwwjackbenimble.blogspot.com/"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

I agree that your theorized world response to such a movie about Judaism would be both possible and reprehensible. This, of course, does not mean that the same film about Islam is somehow acceptable. Should it be allowed to be displayed, on free speech grounds? Probably; I don't think it qualifies as hate speech. Should we accord it any attention or respect? No.</p>

Yeah, but then if you look at the cartoon that had them rioting in the streets, that is even more tame... so go figure.</p>
<p>yonah... Yeah, I watched some of his other videos. He has no love for religious settlers either... but not everyone is 100% right on all the issues. :-) In fact, I can respect the guy being in line with most of the UK on Israel so long as he is able to get a lot of his countrymen to wake up to the real danger of Islam. </p>
<p>a. ... 'drek' might be a tad strong, but I won't argue the point. By pointing out that it was a poorly made film by a second-rate film-maker I hoped it was clear I wasn't hyping the film. I simply felt it was important to post it from a free-speech point of view.</p>a. commented on 'If a film this shocking had been made about Judaism...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e55199a29888342008-03-30T12:41:59Z2008-03-30T12:41:59Za.I had really hoped to not find you propagating this drek. *sigh*<p>I had really hoped to not find you propagating this drek. *sigh*</p>yonah commented on 'If a film this shocking had been made about Judaism...'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e55199702088342008-03-30T11:06:37Z2008-03-30T11:06:38ZyonahIslamists maim and kill people every day all over the world for their comments and drawings, which is likely the...<p>Islamists maim and kill people every day all over the world for their comments and drawings, which is likely the reason so many in government, media, etc. fear them - it's just a matter of self-preservation.</p>
<p>Your second video is from Pat Condell - he is a British stand-up comedian, a devout atheist. You can search his name on you tube for lots more of these very funny clips, and lest you think Islam is his only target check out his site at pat condell dot net.</p>
