''Islam: What the West Needs to Know'' is a documentary film featuring discussions on Islam including commentary by Robert Spencer , Bat Ye'or , Walid Shoebat , and Serge Trifkovic . The film premiered at the American Film Renaissance Festival in Hollywood on January 15, 2006.

The main idea of the film is that Islam is a violent religion bent on world domination, rather than a "religion of peace" as prominent Western leaders have portrayed it in the wake of 9/11 .


SYNOPSIS

The documentary examines the Islam in a critical manner, relying primarily on Islamic texts. It is presented in six parts:

  • ''There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his Prophet'': In the first part, the experts who are interviewed argue that Islamic violence stems from the teachings and examples of Muhammad and that the Qu'ran prescribes and sanctions violence against non-Muslims.

  • ''The Struggle'': In the second part, Walid Shoebat discusses the meaning of Jihad as holy war against the non-Muslim world to bring it under the rule of Islam.

  • ''Expansion'': In the third part, Robert Spencer describes the expansion of Islam through conquest and presents evidence of enslavement and massacres of Christian s, Jew s, and Zoroastrian s by the Muslim invaders.

  • ''War is Deceit'': In the fourth part, Robert Spencer and Serge Trifkovic discuss the Islamic principle of Taqiyya , Islamic dissimulation, which the lecturers argue, enjoins Muslim s to deceive non-Muslims in order to advance the cause of Islam.

  • ''More than a Religion'': In the fifth part, the documentary asserts that "Islamic law governs every aspect of religious, political, and personal action, which amounts to a form of totalitarianism that is divinely enjoined to dominate the world, analogous in many ways to Communism".

  • ''The House of War'': The final part covers the division of the world into Dar Al-Islam ("the house of Islam"), the land governed by the Islamic Law , and Dar Al-Harb ("the house of war"), the land of non-Muslims. According to the film, Muslims are enjoined to bring the Dar al-Harb under the control of Islam. "Muslims in Western nations are called to subvert the secular regimes in which they now live in accordance with Allah's command".
