the Third Jihad is direct and to the point. This documentary about the 'radical' Islams in America and what their agenda is for America is brought to the front. This document shows with factual evidence what CAIR and other radical Islamic organizations that are working in America has set out to do. For those giving this documentary the thumbs down and calling it all lies and propaganda, I'd recommend you taking a look at the rebuttal to this film after CAIR and the New York Times smeared it. Many Muslim organizations came out in support of this film. There is a difference between the 'radical Muslim' and the moderate Muslim.

Solid film from top to bottom. Very educational. Each person appearing in the film has a long history in educating people about the real Islam. By following up on Dr. Jasser for example one can find that he has testified at congressional hearings, has an excellent website. Walid Phares is a scholar with many books backing up everything he says. Ayan Hirsi Ali has an interesting story. Her books can be purchased for those wishing to obtain an insiders look at the religion she was born into. The details of her life are great reading. I think the film could be better. This is why I gave it 9 stars. I think it would be interesting to have Islamic scholars show for example how the news media in general and individuals in particular distort the truth about Islam. Comparing scholars such as Said and scholars from Egypt on points would provide an interesting example of how we in the West have been misled. The same can be said for many articles in the New York Times reporting of events where Islam is central. Finally, I would like to have seen the film discuss how school textbooks in the USA teach a whitewashed version of Islam. Nevertheless, the film accomplishes a great deal and uncovers much that all Americans need to know.

I watched this "documentary" after reading the reviews here in IMDb. Whenever a large percentage of reviewers give a film the highest rating and a large percentage give it the lowest rating, you can bet that it is about real life politics. In this case, an effort has been put into giving Muslims a negative image while, at the same time, attempting to appear fair and even handed. Many "documentaries" (I won't mention the name of a certain chubby American documentary maker) are made to validate and support the preset opinions of the documentary maker. In other words, it is not a search for truth, it is a propaganda effort. Propaganda can be blunt or subtle depending on the target audience. This is subtle. We should remember that America and Israel and other nations started out by acting as "terrorists" to the existing authorities. While it is true that there are anti-American and anti-western Muslims that would commit mayhem if given the chance, there is no effort to examine their motivations. They are simply assumed to be evil. Additionally, this number of "terrorists" is microscopic as a percentage of Muslims world wide. My recommendation is to see this film. While watching it, remain aware if the film maker is trying to manipulate your feelings and opinion. Are both sides fairly presented? This is the true value of this film and the reason that I give it 5 stars.

Told through the eyes of an American Muslim physician (and former officer in the Navy Medical Corps), this production does a VERY good job of laying-out the threat posed to the West by Islamic fundamentalists (Islamofascists, jihadists, Muslim radicals...call them what you will). The various chapters explore everything from the fund-raising support to terrorists (that largely emanates from Saudi Arabia, the Persian Gulf states, and other recipients of petrodollars), to the threat of surging numbers of totally unassimilated Muslims in Western Europe, to the threat of al-Qaeda getting their bloody hands on a nuclear device, or developing their own radiological "dirty bomb" or biological or chemical weapons.In my opinion, this film does NOT slander Muslims in general, nor does it over-state the threat. Since it's been 8 years since 9/11 with no successful further attack on US soil, I fear many North Americans have succumbed to the wishful-thinking indulgence of assuming that 9/11 was a one-off fluke that can never be repeated.This film respectfully suggests that such thinking is dangerously deluded.
