In a documentary produced by the Bridges Foundation, a brief background about Islam is explained and the proper definition, historical context, and current interpretation of jihad in Islam are expounded upon by Muslim scholars and leaders including Imam Suhaib Webb, Fadel Soliman, and Shaykh Abdullah Hakim Quick. They are also joined by academics and scholars from various universities such as Dr. Robert Pape, Dr. Gunnar Westberg, and Dr. Samuel Pierce who share current research and information about terrorism and it’s lack of connection to Islam.
I viewed the complete 1 hour 39 minutes documentary. Perhaps it is one of the most comprehensive presentation on the subject. It is commendable that the presentors did a thorough job in presenting the correct perspective from Quran.
May Allah increase the Knowledge of the presentors and give them the courage, wisdom and Guidance to counter the current Islamophobia prevelant in the neo-con media and institutions.
An amazing documentary. I’ve seen more facts(relevant and supporting) in this documentary than in any other. Thank You, Dir. Fadel Soliman and the rest of the crew.
I also wish to see a teaser or trailer for these kinds of documentaries. If senseless movies can have short trailers to hook minds into watching those whole things, why can’t these relevant documentaries have them? We should sell these ideas. And it shouldn’t be hard with the technology we got today.
Jazak’ Allah Khairan
Do you all denounce the information in a book titled the Atlas of the Islamic Conquests which is sold at Islamic book store in America? Here we can read about battles that were fought (jihad) to gain power which lead to centuries of Islamic rulers.

Thanks for the documentary. Very informative and thought provoking.
Smart leaders who cannot define terrorism even though they spent 2 days trying to define the word. No wonder, things are not going well in this world.
I will share this documentary with other people. Knowledge is key.
Thanks again,
