The Third Jihad
The Third Jihad, the newest offering from the producers of the captivating documentary film, Obsession, explores the existence of radical Islam in America and the emerging risk that this homegrown jihad poses to national security, western liberties and the American way of life.
The film, which is narrated by devout Muslim American Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, opens with the following statement: This is not a film about Islam. It is about the threat of radical Islam. Only a small percentage of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims are radical. This film is about them.
In 72 minutes, the film reveals that radical Islamists driven by a religiously motivated rejection of western values cultures and religion are engaging in a multifaceted strategy to overcome the western world.
In contrast to the use of violent jihad and terror to instill fear in non-believers, The Third Jihad introduces the concept of cultural jihad as a means to infiltrate and undermine our society from within.
America: Land of Make-Believe
If what happens in courtrooms across the country to poor people of color is justice, what is happening in the Senate is a trial. If the blood-drenched debacles and endless quagmires in the Middle East are victories in the war on terror, our military is the greatest on earth. If the wholesale government surveillance of the public, the revoking of due process and having the world’s largest prison population are liberty, we are the land of the free. If the president, an inept, vulgar and corrupt con artist, is the leader of the free world, we are a beacon for democracy and our enemies hate us for our values. If Jesus came to make us rich, bless the annihilation of Muslims by our war machine and condemn homosexuality and abortion, we are a Christian nation. If formalizing an apartheid state in Israel is a peace plan, we are an honest international mediator. If a meritocracy means that three American men have more wealth than the bottom 50% of the U.S. population, we are the land of opportunity. If the torture of kidnapped victims in black sites and the ripping of children from their parents’ arms and their detention in fetid, overcrowded warehouses, along with the gunning down of unarmed citizens by militarized police in the streets of our urban communities, are the rule of law, we are an exemplar of human rights.
The rhetoric we use to describe ourselves is so disconnected from reality that it has induced collective schizophrenia. America, as it is discussed in public forums by politicians, academics and the media, is a fantasy, a Disneyfied world of make-believe. The worse it gets, the more we retreat into illusions. The longer we fail to name and confront our physical and moral decay, the more demagogues who peddle illusions and fantasies become empowered. Those who acknowledge the truth—beginning with the stark fact that we are no longer a democracy—wander like ghosts around the edges of society, reviled as enemies of hope. The mania for hope works as an anesthetic. The hope that Donald Trump would moderate his extremism once he was in office, the hope that the “adults in the room” would manage the White House, the hope that the Mueller report would see Trump disgraced, impeached and removed from office, the hope that Trump’s December 2019 impeachment would lead to his Senate conviction and ouster, the hope that he will be defeated at the polls in November are psychological exits from the crisis—the collapse of democratic institutions, including the press, and the corporate corruption of laws, electoral politics and norms that once made our imperfect democracy possible.
The embrace of collective self-delusion marks the death spasms of all civilizations. We are in the terminal stage. We no longer know who we are, what we have become or how those on the outside see us. It is easier, in the short term, to retreat inward, to celebrate nonexistent virtues and strengths and wallow in sentimentality and a false optimism. But in the end, this retreat, peddled by the hope industry, guarantees not only despotism but, given the climate emergency, extinction.

Just start the war. Pick your sides and let's go until it is settled.
Strange how the US is in bed with both the zionist Israelis and the wahhabi Saudis? One is a lover the other a mistress.
Many comments calling this video rubbish, bs, propaganda and generally saying none of this is true etc etc. But no one give any facts, sources or documented information to prove anything they are saying. Just railing, ranting and raging against something with name calling etc. doesn't make it not true. Bring some proof. At least point out what things or information in the video are not correct. Just saying its not true means nothing but, I think, you don't have anything and that the reason why you can't prove anything. That's my challenge.
Those calling this propaganda and those atheists are so blind...like sheep being led to slaughter. Get ready to fight or learn to enjoy chanting "Praise Allah". The goal of Islam/Muslims is to either convert/make infidels convert and submit to Allah or to kill infidels- there is no other interpretation plain and simple. May God have mercy on your souls.
PAY attention to the word...RADICAL.....there are RADICALS......in every religion and they are highly motivated and organize minority......whom we ignore them because they are a minority.....and not a serious threat......
make love not war
Islam without political domination cannot survive!
how do radical islamists pose a risk to western liberties? thats the biggest crock of propaganda **** ive ever seen. if you take this documentary serious youre an id**t.
Islam has been at war with the world since it's inception.
What were Islamic armies doing overrunning Spain and crossing into what is now France within 150 years of Mohammad's death if Islam is a religion of peace? A full 300 years before the Crusades.
Why were they slaughtering Hindus and Buddhists at the same time? Exterminating Zoroastrians?
Do some research on the 300 year period prior to the Crusades. The 300 year period before any Christian army ever set foot in the Holy Land. The Holy Land that had been Judaic for thousands of years and home to Christianity for 600 years before Islam existed.
What were Islamic armies doing invading Central Asia? They triggered the Mongol invasions, which started as direct retaliation against Islam.
History is proof.
What were Muslim Turks doing besieging Vienna in 1683? I could cite hundreds of examples of unprovoked invasion, piracy and genocide, all in the name of Jihad.
Even today, more people have been killed since 9/11 than were killed in 350 years of the Inquisition, but what does every hack apologist always reference?
80 out of every 100 people killed for their religious beliefs in the world, are Christian. Muslims are the perpetrators in 93% of those deaths. Yet what is the politically correct watchword? 'Islamophobia'. It is pure insanity that liberal Westerners would defend a 7th century death cult.
In the Koran it is taught that one day the world will be under the yoke of Islam. The same Koran the Muslims who invaded Spain in the 8th century read is the one that is read in Mosques across the world today.
Wow, so many of the Muslims here are, (as the documentary points out, completly brain-washed!
I say this as a Christian woman married to a Muslim, who believes in a secular society!
personally, and I think I can speak for millions upon millions more both in the United State, Europe and even Islamic countries; we want no part of your or anyone's religion. No part of it. And while I will never fight for Christianity in a predominately Christian country as is my home in the USA, I will die for the freedom to say "NO !"
Oh Xmen...you are so brainwashed. I am not an anti Muslim Zionist at all. I have many Muslim friends here in CANADA, and yes I really have read the Khoran and the bible,out of respect for my Muslim friends.I stated my view only. Does that mean I should have my heart or tongue cut out.You say that Western legal system is "corrupt beyond beleif"....I agree. But yet I ..as a white immigrant in this fine country of canada ...have the same rights as my Brown or black brothers.its called EQUALITY. We in this Western world aspire to a greater spiritual conscienceness ...irregardless of religious beleifs. How and why would you deem this to be a "bad pursuit". Freedom of ones mind is like hitting the "Start button" on a computer.It opens up an avenue of great possibilities for THE WORLD.Its usually referred to as ADVANCEMENT of the human race.You refer to cutting off hands as the means to stop people frpom stealing. are you kidding me....desperation causes people to steal. Its a human ,condition .You speak of how the western law is corrupt and only works for the few that can afford to buy Justice. In a way you are right...the more money I have ...the more able I am to buy my way out of legal problems.yet that is not my life ....I am a lowly paid self employed painter here in canada.I have no power at all re the legal system.But also I do not follow a religious book at all . I follow my heart. God talks to me through my heart and guides me to be a good human and care for ALL other living beings.I am an animal rights activist with PeTA.org, because I beleive God does not find it necessary that I shoud perpetrate the beleif that animals are our slaves.let me ask you this Xmen....if God was to stand in front of you...do you REALLY beleive that he would condone your inflicting pain and sufferring on other humans or animals....these are His creations. You or no others have the right to beleive you are doing Gods work (based on a book). These books are all written by men , all about men, and for the sole benefit of men.To know God is to sit in the woods and listen to your heart .To connect with nature is Gods language. Also FYI...my daughter who is now jewish....doesnt even talk to me since she discovered I was an animal rights activist 6 yrs ago. You see , I fight the fur Ind and she has married into one of the 3 biggest fur purchasing families in the USA. So I am not a "Zionist supporter" as you have assumed just because my daughter is Jewish.I am a neutral human who listens to God as he talks through my heart. Yet I do agree that the USA Govt( and the worlds monetary system) are VERY controlled by the Zionists. You see "Xmen" ...I am not your enemy nor your opponent , I love my Muslim friends more than you can possibly beleive , they are good Muslim people. They live kind and peaceful lives. But they dont stand on a "soapbox" and tell the country that they live in ....that they will conquer one day. They adapt . Where do you live now.....have you adapted ? Belive one thing of me Xmen....I ALWAYS speak truth. I actually cannot lie ..and I dont understand why. I was not taught this by my parents. At approx 25 yrs old I just could not lie anymore . It was as if a force greater than me ...changed me. If I write anything ...you must trust that all of it is truth. I would be so rich if I could only lie ...but I cant. Im sure God loves me for this. And Xmen....I never inflict pain on anyone as I beleive God wants me to be an example of kindness.If kindness wasnt in my heart ..I wouldnt be spending one hr/day fighting for the rights of innocent animals would I ? . Does that not sound like i have been "touched by God"? Does that not sound like I am doing Gods work? And I dont have a "Book"....but I have my heart...Gods heart. Its been nice to share with you Xmen. I hope you have listened to me ...at least a little. Respectfully Fergus
Sharia should replace western laws. Western law is corrupt beyond comprehension. How many hands would have to be cut off before stealing and theft came to a stand still? Western law and the courtd are corrupt and only work for the few that have the money to buy justice.
This narrator is a tool for anti-Muslim zionists. All of the American government are the tools of zionism.
Islam is truly a peaceful way of life, not this filth and lies presented here.
Its interesting how in some of the comments below many are stating how the facts were "skwed"?/ twisted? / not real.? some claim this but offer no source of confirming their knowledge. can we call this "reverse propaganda" . Convince me of this ...were the live recordings of even public Muslim demos in the USA claiming the USA would be under Islamic control one day not real? can anyone prove to me that these video tapes were not real? Probably not. For that reason I (as a non muslim) should pay attention to the growing numbers of Muslims in (at least MY NA). I state this with great concern (as a canadian in canada) due to a conversation I had recently in a Home depot of all places.I have developed an aquaintance with a fine black guyanese male at the same Home depot. As a devoted documentary viewer , I share my thoughts with this gentleman regularly. I am a global thinker who cares for all struggles of all people. i want to learn of all struggles of all people through honest docs. I have countless indepth conversations with this fine black intelligent human being . I am a white 58 year old man , who has no religious affiliation. I was raised catholic, but do not beleive in ANY organized religion. Do I beleive in God ?...yes. Am I spiritual ...very much so.I am a vegetarian because I beleive god gave us humans the ability to leave the animal population alone. Let the balance of non human nature take care of itself.I beleive in God , I beleive not eating animals is Gods wish.I beleive that all religious books were CREATED by men, for the benefit of MEN, and all about MEN. Now ....getting back to Home Depot...I was conversing intellectually with my Guyanese friend re how people are divided and pitted against each other by religion /race or political beleif. A Muslim couple from pakistan were very near ...and listening attentivly. I could see that. After 5 mins the woman asked if she could join in this interesting conversation....'but of course' I said. As we all conversed and I spoke of how different cultures have such varied ways of raising their children ...I mentioned that my daughter had converted to Judaisim 16 years ago and how it had enhanced her life as one who loves children dearly ...since jews usually love to have many children.....her reply was " yes ...but Muslims have MORE children...so there will one day be more Muslims. The feeling within me after hearing that ....was of confusion...I needed to understand why I felt this strange "loud" feeling of concern. So I began research for these last few weeks re growth of Muslim populations .Tonight I found this Doc...and within it , it refers to the avg Muslim family having avg 5 children while others are at 1.6 children per family. There are now 50 million Muslims in Europe today. That woman in Home depot changed my life in how I now view Muslims. I have defended the Muslim people ever since 9/11 many times . I always felt they were being treated unfairly. Now Im thinking I have been a naive fool. God is the energy of this world . Animals understand this. God is not a book. Anyone who beleives that God wants you to behead others , or as a missionary go to a land of indigionus people and persecute them for their beleifs....is nothing but a powermongering evil male. You will notice these situations are never led by women...its always men.Women who claim to feel the same are doing so out of fear of men,and in need of the approval of the dominating males . I will say it again These religious books are written by MEN/ all about MEN...and for the benefit of MEN
IT IS GUILT BUT I THERE IS A COUSE FOR TARRERIST TO PLAY BECUSE HERE IN WORLD MUSLIM COMUNITY FACING TREAD IN PLASTEEN, IN KASHMIR, IN BOSNIA, IN AFGHANISTAN, SOMALIA AND MANY MORE COUNTRIES. PLEASE ALSO ALLOCATE THAT COUNTRIES AND STOPE KILLING, FOR YOURSELF AND ALL OVER WORLD FOR PEACE. I LOVE PEASE BUT NOT KILLING.
Why dont the American people understand that by invading numerous foreign lands and killing millions of innocent people destroying peaceful communities in Islamic nations as well as secular ones that their making the world a better place. Do they actually think people will love them for that. This crappy propaganda pragram (most probably from the Bush Administration) wouldnt convince a child of 12 in the UK. But dopey Americans believe it like its was Christopher Columbus was the first dude to discover America, but we all know he may of been a first white European spaniard to discover it because America was already a thriving peaceful cultured nation of people of darker skin tones. Its that very nature of these Europeans Americans trying to contol the world and Britain gave them their language, politics and everything else, thats why americans are like the Europeans but much more aggressive. Rupert Murdochs media got banned in the UK for a very simple reason, we dont wont scum tactics over here. The American crusades on Islamic lands will have to stop.
am glad Britains got rid of that Rupert Murdoch bullshit media. Cant let them scumbags control decent people of UK. Britains a bit more smarter than America. Documentaries like this garbage wont get aired but Murdochs Sky programs get through to our screens. seems like muslims are invading foreign soils and conquering lands and taking valueble resources and killing woman and children by the hundreds of thousands just reminds me of Great America.
In Sweden I know plenty of Christian families that would never accept for their children to marry a Muslim, and actually my friend's brother was assassinated by the Christian Syrian family because they wouldn't accept the marriage b/w their daughter and him. Now she's left to raise their kid on her own, dishoned and living under constant threat from those terrible Christians.
Of course I feel disgusted by how people try to force their particular religion on to people but just take a trip to the U.S. and you'll find some pretty radical and sometimes militant people lving in the "greates gemocracy in the world", who try to spread and force their religion onto other people. These people also is in a constant battle to incorporate Christianity into the U.S. society by supporting different politicians and lobbying.
Another interesting case of Christianity is their missionaries. My friend who is from Thailand had the worst experience of them, and how they turned over his sister to Christianity (protestant) and then urged her to throw out and destroy old inherited Buddha statues b/c they were considered to be idols.
All across the globe there's aggression from all the different religions towards the others and in many instances people try to incorporate religion into the ruling system and laws of the country they live in, it's something that isn't just unique when it comes to Islam. Who do you think poses the greatest threat to wold peace, the worlds biggest super power (some would argue the only) who votes a president into office, which talks about crusades and is radical Christian which believes God is speaking through him, or poor countries in the Middle-East with it's percentage of radical Muslims.
I do not want to speak about the report as a whole.I want to write something about a particular picture at Part 2 09:12s , these two person are Kurdish and they did not hanged because of Gay, they were killed because Kurdish nationality and working for the rights of their people.
Normally i dont comment, i watched this bulls*** from beginning to end. It is a load of nothing but anti-Muslim propaganda., watch it as it degrades from "we only hate RADICAL MUSLIMS", then towards the end its "islam is trying to take over the world, and ruining your ipods and starbucks". What a f***ing crock of s***. I'm athiest, i think all religions are complete asinine bulls***, but this was mind numbing. If you watched this and thought any of it had any bearings at all, maybe you should be beheaded, not that you had anything up there anyway.
BS. A snippet show. Nothing looked at in depth (or anything resembling distance from the shallow). What Fox would look like if they started worrying about what other people thought of them but still wanted to cling to their views unwaveringly. Cut from one Islamist nut job to another to yet another, none of them shown speaking for more than 30 seconds (for many 10 seconds even) Follwed by the calm, sane reason of a person opposed to their views. Thats called a hatchet job where I'm from. Reading through the comments some mentioned facts but I'm afraid that this doc was light on facts and many statements were factually questionable. "Where are the voices of the moderate Muslims?" Some drip whines. They are in the same place as the voices of the other muslims, only aired when the mass media can benefit from them. A true doc on the 3rd Jihad will question the House of Saud and the powers doing very profitable business with them, not low level, low impact agitators like the (perfect for cast) bearded ranters. Utter BS
The real importance of life and the spiritual meaning of it is not found with religion. It is about letting behind violence, pride, selfishness for love, sharing, helping and most of all return to our creator and say, yes you are God, you made me and I don't want to be mad at you but listen to your wisdom
These radical jihadis were used by USA against USSR in Afghanistan. These monsters were created by American CIA under the name of Islam.. What is the problem now ???
funny, and a bit tragic too......
