content

According to the website of the film's makers, the film reveals that “radical Islamists, guided by a rejection of Western values, cultures and religion, are pursuing a complex strategy to conquer the Western world.” In contrast to violent jihad, the film presents the concept of “cultural jihad”. This jihad is "a method to infiltrate and undermine our society from within". The main theme of the film is how the filmmakers believe this "cultural jihad" threatens the security of the United States . A distinction is made between Islamism and Islam . Nevertheless, the film accuses many representatives of Islam in the USA of "wanting to infiltrate and dominate".

The film shows excerpts from programs by the American Broadcasting Company (ABC), Fox News Channel , MSNBC , CNN , As-Sahab (the media arm of Al-Qaeda ), Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), IRINN (a broadcaster in Iran ), Al-Aqsa TV and other undisclosed news organizations.

People interviewed for the film include Tom Ridge , Rudy Giuliani , Ayaan Hirsi Ali , Rachel Ehrenfeld , Manda Zand Ervin , Tawfik Hamid , Melanie Phillips , Bernard Lewis , Walid Phares , Joe Lieberman , Eugene Rivers , Mark Steyn , Jim Woolsey and New York City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly .
