In Generation Jihad, Peter Taylor investigates the terrorist threat from young Muslim extremists radicalized on the Internet.
Following the attempt to bomb an airliner over Detroit on Christmas Day, this landmark series looks at the angry young men of Generation Jihad who have turned their backs on the country where they were born.
In the first episode, Peter hears from those convicted under Britain's newest anti-terror laws and investigates how some of the most notorious terrorists came to be radicalized.
He finds a generation that has shed the moderate Islam their parents brought to this country, and instead have adopted a faith that they believe compels them to stand apart from Britain and its values.
Except now we know that Muhammed Al Durrah wasn't actually shot by the IDF and it was just another shameless Palestinian Pallywood propoganda attempt.
Can you imagine the world without Islam. What would it be like? The answer is simple. It would be a world without a chronic war that Islam perpetuates. If there is no Islam then there is NO WARS.
GENERATION JIHAD
Generation Jihad is a very interesting documentary that
talks about a new generation of Muslims in the world. The documentary shows how
these innocent and normal Muslims resort to a form of extreme radicalism in
order to protect and save their religious identity. Peter Taylor investigates
the threats this new generation of Muslims poses to the world. He dose so by
mostly talking about Muslims in Britain and giving specific examples on how
young Muslims become jihadist. The documentary also highlights the cause of
this newfound radicalism towards the western world and how Muslims are slowly
making their religious identity the most important identity they have to
protect.
There are two views presented in this documentary. One view
is of the Muslims who state that the west is controlling the Muslim world and
are the cause of conflict in the Middle East. They believe that the west has
polluted the holy religion of Islam by always interfering in its matters. Then
there is the view of a historian. Do these Muslims really have a cause to
pursue such radical means in the name of Islam or are have they come to the
point where their hatred is overshadowing their quest to save their religion.
I think this film is an excellent film, which has highlighted
a very important issue in the world today. Many people have said that the
conflict between the Islamic world and the west will be the cause of the next
war in the world. The most remarkable thing about this film is that it doesn’t
take a specific stand on this issue. It simple presents the issue and provides
two perspectives on it backed by solid evidence. In the film many young Muslims
have been interviewed and have actually stated tat they actually do not feel
any remorse for the people who have died in this conflict. What is amazing is
they actually passively support groups like Al Qaeda stating that they have
been pushed to the point where violence is the only solution to their problem.
This film has been presented in a very effective manner. By
providing solid statistics and actually doing live interviews with these people
the director is able to fully make us understand the gravity of this issue and
it also shows us how there is stand off between both these perspectives. For
example the documentary actually shows the Muslims responses to Salman Rushdie
controversial writings.
In conclusion I think this film is a must watch for anyone
who is interested in the issue between the Muslim world and the western world.
It truly shows the magnitude of the situation and is eye opener for every one.
A solution must be found before this conflict erupts and reaches a point where
there will be serious consequences.
In fact two words only:
mindless murderers
The citizen's in the west are clearly trying to rise up and prevent the unnecessary wars in the middle east and the bankers rule over the world. and yet these Muslim fanatics ignore our efforts and act on prejudice, ignorance and cruelty and target the western workers rather than the big cheeses that have full control over the vast system of control. Why are they unable to wake the hell up and see how the world really works? There are bankers that rule the world and they have incredibly powerful security forces to prevent any change to the status quo.
this all propaganda bull s***
Nothing is more clear to me than the toxic, contentious nature of this current war of words between the victims on all sides of a world gone mad. And in this insanity, there's always some Prophet in the woodpile spouting self-righteous bullsh*t about some religious mission to do some god's revealed will. Let's round-up anyone who is devoutly anything (except rational) and put them all on the moon...then start over from scratch.
well well well...maybe they should have their asses deported regardless if they were born there....grow up in Britain then try to destroy it? Kick the f--ks out!
i m So Sick of these Stupid peoples who don't even know Islam talking about jihad.
Many of the 100,000 civilians killed were casualties of sectarian violence. These different groups were quite happy to see the Americans come in and defeat Saddam. Now they want them out so they can become the next power elite just like Saddam Hussein was.
Bloody religion,, cause far to many problems,, believe in the universe and the fact that evolution is correct, religion is there to control people ,
if only more people would take to heart the fact that the Koran condemns suicide and that killing people is wrong
@ RBNZ
Well said
Terrorism is wrong, whomever does it. A terrorist is not only the one with the dynamite vest. It can be a single man, a group of people, a government or an army. Some people create terror with the push of a button and some with the stroke of a pen and a handshake.
Politics and religion, the biggest whores that ever lived.
BBC does it again, they used to make good docs.
I think that there is a fundamental contradiction in the lives of these young muslims because they grow up in two worlds that call for different things.
Although most learn to find a happy compromise between what their religion and society want and get on with their lives, those with identity issues and frustrations cling to the expansionist, intolerant fringe to give themselves a reason to exist.
I have to agree with the guy above who said they should pack up their bags and leave the Dar-el Harb voluntarily, since in their own words it is so corrupt and decadent. A brief stint in the Da al-Islam will convince the intelligent ones that whatever the evils of western society, it has afforded them a life the vast majority of their fellow muslims in Islamic states would envy.
I'm just sayin'
Fundamentalists of any religion will cause terror to anyone. A Terrorist is a person who inflicts pain and suffering upon another human being.
These days both sides contain terrorists, and any normal person would see there is good and bad in all religions.
Plus, it's not religion that's starting this crap, it's human nature. If it wasn't religion we'd all just find something else to go to war or fight over.
As Agent Smith said in The Matrix, The human race is nothing more than a virus.
lol i love the word terorist, but who r in this catogary, wel who is it,
xd
If we truly beleive in peace, we must aknowledge the fact that violence should never be condoned in any form, unless in the case of self defence. I'm sorry to say, neither the U.S. Military nor the radical Islamists are acting out of self defense. Anyone who beleives that the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq is justified as "liberating" are living in a dream world of their own. If the U.S. was so interested in "liberating" oppressed people, then why do they not give a damn about places like Darfur? I don't think that we (people of all races, creeds, religions, etc.) have it in us for peace. I hope I am wrong and that in future generations, people will make peace and shake their heads at how uncivilized and greedy we were.
9/11 was the US Govt stabbing itself and blaming their rogue agent Osama (he worked for the CIA) so that they could invade Iraq and get their oil while providing a base for their military to project US military force in the region. Afghanistan is to secure the heroin trade for the CIA, to test new weapons, provide a buffer zone to russian influence and put pressure on Iran.
The USA has consistently invaded other countries it's entire life. It's built on blood soaked stolen land.
There would be no anti-US terrorists if the US stopped invading other countries.
Your US democracy is a total sham. You have no rights because you don't even know what they are.
Governments lie routinely. Don't believe what you read in the newspapers controlled by mega-corporations.
Next up Baluchistan.
@Carlo - you really need to do some research. I mean actual critical thinking... you know like using your brain to work out whether something is accurate or not.
The most hopelessly enslaved are those who think they are free. You are only free as long as you do what you are told and think within the box provided to you.
@Carlo
For one thing, the 9/11 weren't cowards, evil maybe, but its not cowardly to sacrifice your life for what you believe. As far as our military in Iraq protecting American freedom, well that's just an absurd thing to say. Very, very few people on Earth agree with you. Its well known that the reasons we went there were false. Do you have your brain directly connected to Fox News, or do you just know very little about the world generally? I get crass because your responses are heavy on emotional attacks, and virtually bereft of any logic whatsoever. We did not go to Iraq to protect the Iraqi people, if we had, we wouldn't have let Saddam slaughter the Marsh Arabs we encouraged to rebel during the First Gulf War. Just really weak man.
@Tridant,
Only a few words for you: At least you are not obnoxious like so many other people - you are obnoxious in a different and worse way!
Soldiers volunteer their lives, overseas and inland to prevent a foreign Army invasion from ever attacking American soil. And please, don't get me the B.S. that we were already attacked on Sept 11. Yes, we were attacked, but not by a conventional Army, but instead by a group of well organized coward. To call stupid at people thinking like you would be an insult to stupid people. Would you really bear arms at the sight of enemy forces invading our land, because you just said it, you wouldn't be able to kill another human being.
Anyone who told you to be yourself couldn't have given you worse advice.
@Hardy,
This is my last reply for you, because I don't want to waste my time with a blinded fool-self proclaimed defender of the insurgents and supporters of terrorism like Saddam and Osama. And just for your information, your role model Saddam killed over half a million of his own people during his reign of terror and autocracy. During war times there is always collateral damage. You should be ashamed of expressing your resentful thought against our military. Finally, I must let you know that I am currently serving proudly in the U.S. Navy, and I have been doing this honorable service for over 11 years. So, I know what I am taking about, not like you, that open your mouth, but close your brain. After all, a sharp tongue is no indication of a keen mind. Well, my dear friend, I give you the freedom to dissent with me, but one day you will swallow your hollow words. It's hard to get the big picture when you have such a small screen.
P.S. There will be no more replies. Good luck Hardy.
You say soldiers produce freedom? That they are defending the 'western values'? That they do good? They make me able to enjoy a warm shower?
Firstly, a soldier doesn't PRODUCE anything. A person who is valuable to society produces goods, like food, houses, and as you correctly said, clean water. A soldier does none of that.
Secondly, the soldiers in Iraq/Afghanistan are protecting western greed, not freedom. Your 'freedom producing operation' has cost billions of dollars and killed around 100.000 civilians, Saddam couldn't have dreamed of killing so many people. The 'terrorist threat' is a threat blown out of proportion to keep people like you scared. Our freedom was never in danger, the government would simply like you to believe so.
Yes, the 'freedom' (who believes the recent election in Iraq was 'free', anyways?) that the soldiers produce is truly immense.
Go to sleep, little child. While sleeping, you must not attempt to think.
Sorry Carlo,have to disagree with you to a certain extent.You say the American army is all volunteer,well what do they volunteer,their time and expertise?their land or money?Their choice is a carreer one,a Paid job.They choose this and i use this term loosely PROFESSION knowing at the drop of a hat they can be sent anywhere in the world into any situation and to kill on command.You are right we are all regulated to a certain extent,but there is always choice,i can continue my 12 hour days and try and better myself and improve my knowledge and make a better life for my children or i can choose to sit on my arse at home on the dole getting benefits(or go sell drugs or guns)CHOICE.But by God no Government or President from the comfort of their mansions will get me to kill a human being.If another country comes knocking on Irelands door there will be no need for an army,every man would join together and fight the aggressor to protect their families and their country but we have no reason to invade another country.Where have all the guns and rpg launchers in Afgan come from?America,to fight the Russians.The C.I.A trained them on everything from i.e.d to fire arms.Allies one minute enemies the next.American governments past and present have much to answer for and if not for their forced recession maybe these poor young guys would have more choices than army life.Theses are only my opinions.
