Traitor in time of war. I vote for justifiable TOS for him and any other American on that side of the fence. Bin Laden deserves to have plenty of company. I'm not in favor of torture.

Current! I'm disappointed in you with this one! If you're gonna do a story about American "Jihadis" and "Homegrown Terrorists" then why don't you do one on the Hutaree Christian "Militia"? Why are you feeding into the fear mongering and turning a blind eye to OTHER American Terrorists?!

Just for information sake, the Christian Militia is a home grown extremist group that fears the United States Government. Any plans that they have seem to be directed towards government institutions only. And were caught. So the statement "blind eye" is not accurate. The eye of the FBI was already on them.
The terriorist jihad is a war against Western civilization. A war against everyone in the United States. Innocient people are their main targets. Thus the name terriorist. The plan is to scare people into sumbission.
I could only wish that both groups would go after our government. This way, I would be confident that neither would succeed. - 1 year ago

i was speaking of the blind eye of the media.. where was the massive reporting on them being released on BAIL? what was the last thing you even heard about them?
and yes the Islamic terrorists were against western civilization but a terrorist is a terrorist is a terrorist... the fuckin media wont even refer to them (the Hutaree) AS terrorists... furthermore they were planning on killing a COP and then setting up bombs at his funeral to kill MORE cops... whether they are plotting against Gov't institutions or not is completely irrelevant... they were committing acts of terrorism, by every definition of the word!

No argument. The media has become useless. Common sense and fact finding is the only avenue for unbiased news.
Current has to make decisions as to what they air. The jihad that aims their weapons at innocent civilians was their choice. - 1 year ago

I appreciate this documentary so much. I am an American-Muslim living in Alabama (American mother, Iranian father) and work at a local news website, everyday I see terrible comments on our site and unfortunately, the severe hatred stems from ignorance. I try to educate my peers and I allow them to educate me as well. I wish that everyone could see this video and others that you guys make, I think it would be very beneficial to show these in public schools.
I really hate that there are so many so called "Muslims" that have created the awful stereotype that all of us are violent and unjust. All of your documentaries just really mean a lot to me and I have learned so much from them.
Thanks Vanguard :)

I'm sorry you face prejudice and bigotry. I have myself been a victim of stereotyping. And then the cycle of prejudice continues as I, quite naturally, prejudge whole classes of people who, on my mind, are represented by the perps.
But, I can't help but feel that some of the most active feeders of such prejudice and bigotry are the Muslim leaders, themselves. Is there any more facilitator of antisemitism than the President of Iran? Any gov't, at present, more willing to tolerate virulent anti-black rascism than the Arab hierarchy in Sudan? Any more country more two-faced than Pakistan?
I know it's not PC to recite this, but why, really, isn;t Jordan a "Palestinian" state? Why are there two armies, with different policies, in Lebanon?Turkey, so angry about the "peace convoy" to Isreal; What would the Turkish army do if an "aid" convoy attempted to deliver aid to their Kurds? Would they not insist on inspecting it? Would they not use deadly force if violently resisted?
The Muslim world needs a voice to protest against their fanatics. Without that, the rest of the world will suspect silence = agreement. And, one can't say the Muslim culture frowns on public protest. We've seen the millions willing to risk death when they feel there honor and image in the world threatened by the actions of the few. Unfortunately, that passion and courage was used to rail against .......................................cartoons.

Very well put. You speak for many Americans who are paying attention. I throw the ball back into the arms of Sheena. It's your move. Convince America that there is a difference between fanatics and Mulsims as a true religion.
The Japanese realized the dangers with confronting the American people head on. I'm not referring to the military, which is the best in the entire world, but the people themselves. I love America and the freedom it stands for. Mulsim jihadists beware! If need be, you will feel the wrath of the American poeple!!!! - 1 year ago

take every point you made about your issues with islam, and apply them to christiaity.do you hold the same standard for the two, or is it disproportionate expectations.i agree that thier can never be enough muslims condeming jihadists as not muslim.but at the same time i also expect to see a lot more action from christianity in the same regard to thier radicals.both have extreme fundamentalist elements that they turn a blind eye to in the public forum.
westborough baptist protest a lot more often then thay are condemed.
i dont hear the outcry from the church about the catholic pediphelia debacle.
i didnt see mass's of church's storming the media to protest that jackass who wanted to burn the quran.
the main stream media destroyed the guy who claimed "9-11 happened cuz we are too tolerant of gays" but not the church's.why are muslims expected to be more proactive in this regard than christians?with the church still having yet to apologize for the crusades,to the pagans,or for the inquasition, centuries after they happened, why should islam be breaking its neck to validate thier existance as a faith?

over 1 billion muslims exist in the world today.
if you add up every single example of terrorism comitted by muslims, using any time frame you would like, that number doesnt amount to 1 percent of islam's total followers.
every religion has its extremist radicals, but islam has a less than one percent incidence rate.
in the 60's alone wanna add up cross burning kkk members actions and see what percentage of christianity was being represented?muhamed ali refused to fight in vietnam why again? what religion forbid him from fighting?
elijah mohamed brought islam to promenance a half century ago in america, so if islam is so dangerous why is it we havent had any incidents from them?
busta rymes,ice cube,akon,micheal jackson,cat stevens,dave chapelle,muhamed ali,kareem abdul jabar,mos def,mike tyson,everlast,q-tip, all muslims.before 9-11 and after, and not one of these people has ever made any move what so ever to impose thier religion upon us, despite having means to do so.the list just goes on and on and on proving how islam exists in a way that thier nation states doesnt represent, just as adam sandler and mel brooks stand as testament similarly to the difference between israel, and jews.
keep hating on islam.but if you want to protect our country narrow the field from the billion straws of hay concealing the needle.

However, your hatred, for this behavior of the truly unbelieving radicals is almost wasted on Characters whom will self destruct.Needless, to say living in Alabama, must have its own rewards, and challenges, on the part of Small Town American Opinion Politics.

This is bullshit the ambush video was staged, anyone who has been in combat knows this wasn't real. yeah he ambushed a 1000+ troops. This hillbilly from Alabama is dog shit. These Jihadists are known kidnap young boys and molest them. Anyone who would follow this idiot is a retard. He should be kidnaped and brought back to the USA, be waterboarded then hang his skank hilbilly ass.

This guy is the top of my nut job list. Home grown terror is a direct reflection of a poor education system and a rise in religion. It's important to separate church and state and to crush any uprising before it becomes a problem.

In the video, there is much space given to the negative attitudes diplayed toward Omar by the towns residents. I perceive on the part of the editors a certain sympathy for Omar faced with this subtle, and at times not so subtle, bigotry.
However, I feel Omar should feel lucky these "hicks" in Alabama haven't resorted to the practices followed by the Muslims he so deeply admires. Because, if they did, he'd be treated to a first-hand lesson in modern interpretation of Sharia law.
When a Muslim young man in a Muslim small town decides to convert to Christianity or (Allah forbid) Judaism, the whole town, including (especially including) his closest family, gather in the town square, or sports stadium, to watch as he is executed. After the cheering and celebratory gunshots quiet down, candy and cake is served to the children, the women return to their in-house detention, and the men contemplate who the next victim will be over their hookahs. - 1 year ago

I went to school in a town 5 minutes from Omar's high school, shared mutual friends, and even participated in Model United Nations with him where, in 2000, he voluntarily broke character to support the actions of the Taliban in Afghanistan. Pre Sept. 11th these just seemed like eccentric actions, but in retrospect we were all seeing a young person in transition, in conflict with his faith and the world he lived in.
I am very excited to see how Vanguard approaches the issue of American terrorism, and interested to see the representation of Omar Hammimi's home located "in the heart of the bible-belt."

send her off to pakistan, islamabad or keryzistan

Tell me this nobama, if evil American oppression is why they do these things...whose fault was it the 1000 years they were doing this BEFORE America?
right. just like the oil spill, you got no clue. none. You have NO answer for any problem we face.We are adrift with a drunkard at the helm. drunk on islamic wine. Mind poisioned at 5 years old in an indonesian madrasa. hell bent on punishing the "Great Satan". breast fed by nazi-style racists like mutada jeremiah wright. ignorant men have poured their ignorance into this empty shell who cannot think for himself. right and wrong are determined by racist zealots and brought to him, spoon fed from a silver platter. Mindless. A void filled with racism & hate. as mindless as any terrorists diggin a hole in the side of the road to blow up...whoever happens by.

Oh yes, it obvious YOU really think for yourself. Why, I've never heard any of these accusations about our President anywhere? You must have done really serious research to be able to know so much. I'm sure the ravings and rantings of the "Tea" Party gad no influence in your totally serious, objective, non-partisan, and comprehensive research. Perhaps you can strengthen some of your facts with some references. Not for me, but to quiet those pesky Liberals who always whine about "proof" when it comes to criticism of their Communist, terrorist, Islamist, war-monger, pacifist, robber Baron, socialist, Status quo, revolutionary, and "minority" President.

Just so you have the facts. There is violence in most religions: Deuteronomy 20:16–17 (in case you have a Bible handy). Another interesting fact: Our president was born in Hawaii, a state of the USA. He even attended a Catholic school for a time when available where he lived abroad. When it was the only school available, he attended a GOVERNMENT SCHOOL which existed in a Muslim country. Read and be informed. Perhaps you sould reconsider the identity of "the empty shell". Clue: read about the CNN investigation into the president's early schooling. Good grief! How long will it take? Forever, i'd guess, for one who doesn't wish to know!

The koran calls for YOUR death and the death of your family. READ the stupid book. It doesnt mince words. kill all christians, jews and infidels...An infidel in case you didn't know ...is anyone who YOU decide should die. Thats how they justify killing each other.
So ...you go ahead. You be just as tolerant and "understanding" as an old mother hen. Sympathize with these scum while they sharpen thier scythe. go on line and watch them slowly sever the head of Daniel Pearl and tell yourself how this is all OUR fault. Ignore their obvious sadistic glee, pretend that YOU are showing "love" as opposed to the ignorance they see in you. Have some popcorn while your watching...& sit back and wait. Till they bring it to your front door AGAIN. - 1 year ago

Listen to Al-Jezeera. Some Mullah says something to that effect every day. You really must be kidding regarding Jews. Christians are denounced less openly, perhaps because the leaders in Muslim countries know that wouldn't go over well in Europe and USA. As for infidels, read your own Koran.
On 9/11, Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank began celebrating loudly and openly. Arafat, no moron, suppressed this through the barrel of his troops guns. Then he very photogenically donated blood "for the 0/11 victims". A totally useless gesture, as that blood would not reach the place where it was needed before expiring.
In fact, if I ran Isreali PR, I'd show those celebrations every day. Then maybe this talk about a Palestinian state, "living side by side in peace" with Israel would be seen as the Trojan Horse it is. - 1 year ago
