[QUOTE="dalsingh, post: 85192, member: 2883"] After watching the video two important questions entered my head: (1) Is the presentation a balanced portrayal? (2) Are the west inncocent victims of Islamic fundamentalism? This is what I think in respect to these (to my mind) important questions? (1) Is the presenation a balanced portrayal? I would say absolutely not. Bear in mind I live in an area that currently has some locals in court over allegations of a serious planned terrorist attack in London. (So yes I believe Islamic fundamentalism is a serious threat.) I also witnessed many Muslim youths become increasingly insular and disconnected with those who were nonMuslims as a result of a certain style of preaching. The problem with the movie was that is seems to imply all Muslims are potential Al Qaeda types. Yes, many people symphathise and support their ideology but many Muslims do not. The danger with the message in the vid is that may possibly alienate some Muslims and give fundamentalists a larger pool of potential recruits. This is a foolish strategy. I personally believe that as well as Muslim fanatics we also have some white supremicist extremists who would love to encourage and foster wide scale, street level conflict in Europe under the guise of a West versus Islam banner. Islamists have their own equivalents in European Nazis. (2) Are the west innocent victims of Islamic fundamentalism? Anyone with even a cursory grasp of recent global history will know that Europeans have been engaged in all manner of colonisation and imperialism including: raidng countries for resources, enslaving populations, be this through straight slavery or indentured trading. They have also meddled unbelievably in the global setup that has directly resulted in mass murder and ethnic cleansing (partition of India is a blatant example.) We cannot ignore the white supremicist actions that has helped bolster and give rise to Islamists. From arming and training them when they were involved in battles against perceived common threats (Afghanistan) to turning a blind eye to human rights abuses for oil and money (Saudi Arabia.) To attacking countries on false premises of serious threat (Iraq.) These people have created a cause for fundamentalist with their own actions. As Sikhs we know the dangers of Islamic fundamentalism more than most. We also have a history that demonstrated victory against this way of life in the Panjab. Contrast this with the crusades undertaken by the European fighting elite - which returned home defeated by Saladin. Honest questions need to be asked by people now. What part have their own policies/actions played in creating the current state of affairs. Making videos that throw all the blame in one direction is rubbish.
