Islamophobia: 'Vanguard' Trailer

thatthis is a contrast between two cultures. Both are correct according to their standards. The Prophet Mohammed the perfect man,was involved in 14 or 15 battles where he killed people and took the spoils. What else would you do in a battle. He had to provide for his big family. He was not a carpenter or had another profession. Infidels see this a a killer and theif. It is because of their values which are different. Nothing wrong with being in battles, killing and taking the spoils to provide for your people. Mohammed got approval from God to do this. The Prophet, married a 6 year old and did not consumate the marrige till she was 9 years old. Again he got approval from God. Now infidels see this as rape and child moslestation. Again this is just how different people see thing. The Prophet was the perfect man and was allowed to do what he did from God. Christian, Jews, Hindus and Buddhist see this differently because of their differnt beliefs and values.
The Prophet also had a Jewish wife. How broad minded. He did kill her father and husband on the day he consumated the marriage with her. The infidels see this as rape and murder. He had the authority to do this. We have to understand that people are different with different values and leaders/heros. The infidels will not see things as the Muslims and the Muslims will not understand the Buddhist, Hindus, Jew, and Christians.

I saw the entire program on Current TV today. In "Islamophobia" Adam Yamaguchi and an Islamic scholar create this premise: They want the viewer to believe that the "radical" anti-Islamic groups springing up in the US and abroad are only the tip of the iceberg (sound familiar), that these groups MAY represent MANY Americans that are to be feared. These groups may destroy the very fabric of this country. Anti-Islamic groups are "radical," they say, but dare anyone to refer to Islam as radical and they will be labeled a "hater." FACT: The great majority of Americans are not haters of Islam or racist; however, "Islamophobia" attempts to paint them as such. And by doing so, if you as an ordinary peace-loving citizen of the US, express concern over the nature of the Islamic faith, you can be certain that you will be vilified on Current TV. Should we weigh the number of violent acts performed in the name of Islam around the world with the number of violent acts perpetrated by, say, Christians? What do you think that scale would demonstrate? And that is not to say that ALL Muslims are terrorists, but just as "Islamophobia" tries to create this fear that more and more average Americans are becoming anti-Muslim, so can we not likewise say that more and more Muslims are becoming anti-American?
Follow the logic. "Islamophobia" does nothing to help non-Muslims understand Islam, nor does it help Muslims understand non-Muslims. Rather, it paints groups as extremist in order to create more fear and hate. What we need is for peace-loving Muslims to be more active in their communities. We need to see them speaking out more in the name of peace, and in support of the US and the Constitution. We need forums where Muslims and non-Muslims can find common ground. Until then, the suspicion may grow.

Adam Yamaguchi's attempt to portray Tommy Robinson of the EDL, Brigitte Gabriel of ACT for America or Pam Geller of SIOA as racists, bigots and xenophobic islamophobes failed. In fact, the film demonstrated that he and the network are "useful idiots" without backbones...much like Keith Olbermann. Cultural jihad, much like violent jihad, is a very real threat to western civilization. Even a cursory study of the Koran, the Sira and the Hadith makes that obvious. More research rather than political correctness is definitely needed.

I'm an objective scholar who is interested in the truth. Within that context I will make several observations concerning the video about the fear some people have concerning worldwide Islamic Imperialism/domination. Considering the vast audio, video, archival and real empirical evidence within the last 40 years alone, it seems one has a very rational reason to fear Muslims and Islam. It's not necessary to point out the hundreds of examples of extreme violence done in the name of Islam even within the last 10 years worldwide, because they are manifestly evident to even a casual observer who occasional watches the news, reads the newspapers or owns a radio. One only needs to have a rudimentary knowledge of Islam to understand the mindset of an obedient, faithful Muslim. Therefore a person must first read the Qu'ran to get an insight. There are more than a few passages within Islam that instruct the Muslim to pursue the Infidel for the pursue of conversion and/or to bring the non-Muslim "under their protection." The Muslim is to live out Jihad in their life to the above purpose and end. Jihad to some Muslims is a very bloody, violent struggle. To others it's simply living a somewhat quiet life within the context of the five pillars of Islam often using more subtle, covert, deceptive means to achieve Islamic domination. Muslims that choose to engage in a non violent Jihad are very much aware, accept and approve of the actions of their Muslim brothers and sisters who use violence to help achieve worldwide Islamic domination. This is proved by the fact the so-called moderate Muslims will never condemn the acts of violence in the pursuit of Jihad used by their more violent, aggressive Muslim brothers and sisters. As evidence of Islam's directive and Muslims goal to achieve and maintain Islamic domination in the Middle East and other parts of the world, one may observe what has transpired in the Middle East and some North African Countries since the so-called Arab Spring and/or within the last 5 years. Islamic fundamentalists have increased their power and their commitment to Islamic State-ism and sharia law in more than a few of those Countries e.g. Egypt, Libya, Somalia, Tunisia. In addition, sharia law Courts have sprung up all over Christian Europe, and all fifty States in America are currently considering sharia law in family Court as well as major financial institutions offering Muslims non interest loans. This is while at the same time in Muslim dominated Countries hundreds of thousands of peaceful Christians are having to flee their homes, neighborhoods, having their churches bombed and burned, their men, women and children are being raped, beaten, torture, set on fire and murdered all in the name of Islamic Jihad and bigotry. Therefore, in light of the overwhelming evidence; the E.D.L. and others opposed to worldwide Islamic domination are not a "sick" movement, a "bigoted" movement, a "paranoid" movement or at this stage a violent movement, but rather a very rational, sane, educated movement concerned about the preservation of their own religion, traditions, lifestyle, safety and security. On another note, I believe it will be instructive, and we must as a civilization have a real conversation about Islam, and its merits as to whether the claims of Islam are true or false. For instance, other than Mohammad's own claim/testimony, we have no other empirical collaboration as to the authenticity of a religion that claims over 1 billions members who take the Qu'ran as God's will. If that many people believe in system of thought, and are violently committed as many are, shouldn't we have more solid proof, and verifiable empirical and rational evidence that Islam is not just from the imagination and/or testimony of one confused man? Mohammad to his credit did initially believe his nightmare vision came to him from demon. It was only his wife that convinced him otherwise that his nightmare vision came from God. How would she know? Purely from a forensic science perspective, does that seem plausible Islam is true, since we only have Mohammed's own testimony his nightmare vision came from God? Didn't Joesph Smith also claim to have an individual revelation from God to which the Mormon religion is based, and millions follow? The books of the Bible on the other hand are written over a period of 1500 years, have 40 different authors, hundreds of prophecies fulfilled, and even though many of the authors never met each other, the books fit together neatly like a jigsaw puzzle. Yes, the Bible contains paradoxes, but no real contraditions. Yes, we need to have a fierce academic higher criticism of Islam just as Christianity has received over the last 400 plus years. But don't expect not to be met with violence, because Muslims are not "sick" or "bigots."

People that believe Islam is a race need to understand that it isn't. It's a religion, as is Christianity and Judaism. How is it that because of a small number of extremists, this religion has been made out to be anti-American? We all need to understand that the world isn't all the same; religion and politics and culture vary, we shouldn't fear something we know nothing about. I loved this documentary though, it was very eye-opening.

"Christianphobia" how about do a topic on that???????? oh ya that would be racist wouldn't it?

Is it really possible to consider this documentary fair and unbiased when they deliberately avoided including the perspective of someone like Mosab Hassan Yousef? There is arguably no one more expert and qualified to comment. Adam ... what happened? Why would you not reach out to Mosab?

(pre) wrong with the world today. Too many people are small minded and only look at the bad, rather than recognizing it takes all kinds. A lot of people need to take a long look in the mirror. Hell, look inside their jails. Look at the population in the prisons. Is there just one breed of man in that cell? NO! Take a hard look and you will simply see. It's a diverse collection of evil. And it's all due to too much hatred on all scales in all races and religions. As soon as man excepts the fact that no one race is better than the other it will be a better world. And as an American woman in the 20th century it kills me to see fellow americans be so hypicritical. They live by the ten commandments and their civil rights as long as it directly concerns them and BENEFITS them. The moment it embodies it's exact purpose (freedom of speech or freedom of religion for ALL) it threatens them. I could go on about this all day, but bottom line is a lot of people need to learn to love instead of hate. Look at a person's soul rather than the color of their skin. Because all I see is the exact same thing in each of these people. Osama evil, this head of EDL evil and a lot of people in America evil and all because they think they're better because they were born a certain color or practiced a certain religion. Start loving because all this hate has accomplished is a larger death toll and for what, just more war. Focus on working together to fix problems rather than butting heads and creating a larger one.

OMG, Islam is NOT a RACE but a RELIGION! It is amazing how Yamaguchi ignores obvious connections, but then makes other connections where there are none -- or at least he does not prove connection. He implies a connection between Pamela Geller and the Congressman Peter King. He also implies a connection between those he paints as "Islamaphobic" (a word created to gather sympathy for Muslims) in America and those in the UK. He points out Anders Behring Breivik and the single act of anti-Islamic terrorism by a European in the last 10 years, but ignores the hundreds of acts BY Muslims in the same timeline. He boldly uses video from a Baptist church of Brigitte Gabriel and tries to place her in a negative light, but in the show I am currently watching has not entered a single mosque, or used video from a single mosque. He accuses Geller and Gabriel of pointing toward "the most extreme points of Islam" and yet the less extreme, moderate, and temperate Muslims seem to remain silent on many points of terrorism. This show seems like pure propaganda!

Although it is true that there's no need to "fear monger" the general population regarding Islam (because we all have seen moments in history where the general public over-reacts and often break the very laws that keep our society), I can't help but comment on the fact that TOO many love to down-play the ACTUAL teachings of Islam.
7% of the Muslim in the UK agreed that violence would be acceptable to enact Sharia law. The 9/11 twin tower attack happened as a result of NOT a one time a attempt to destroy the builds. People have short memories and need to revisit the 1993 bombing attempt. There have been attempts against the US or the US's interest since the 1700's by Islamic nations. 9/11 was partically planned in the Brooklyn Mosque by its cleric.
One can find a growing list of terrorist attacks that do not favor the innocent or young.
IN THE END, you can NOT downplay the acts of terrorists, and they stem from the very SAME religous source that the so called "peaceful" Muslims believe in.
Honest scholars have studied the Koran (in context) and found that there is no difference in the religion terrorists believe in or the average Muslim, the only REAL difference is just how far they are willing to go to enforce thier religion.
Islam states quite clearly that they are to put all others under the food of islam. Just because a segment of these believers take it to a literal extreme does not invalidate the fact that Muslims through-out the world follow a religion that gives them the blessed right to be violent against all "infidels", to lie to non-Muslims and do what is necessary for either conversion or elimination.
Now that doesn't mean that I think Muslims throughout America will simply pick up arms and fight in the streets to force thier way of life on Americans. But since this is about the only religion that hasn't undergone some sort of a 'reformation", I think it is MANDATORY for all Muslims residing in America to publically denounce violence...and to be held accountable by the authorities when they break that proclaimation. THIS very denouncement is in the form of citizenship, true. But we have seen a few whom have citizenship to this country and have still tried to resort to violence and bombing.
What Americans DEMAND is peace of mind. No-one should have to fear that thier neighbor is an extremist or will become one. For more, this is not a problem. But we have seen Sharia financing entering into the frey, along with many other Islamic traditions. Where is the assurance that some corrupt politician won't simply pander to some voting block for favorable support ? It HAS happened often. Sure, we like to think that the rule of law protects American interest and our homeland, but there are so many examples of our politicians selling us out for their own selfish desires.
You claim to seek "journalistic integrity" yet you seem to by-pass much of the reality and truth regarding only what activists talking points are. We could do without the fear mongering, sure, but you ignore the connections that have been made regarding contributions in America to organizations funneling funds to terrorists.
Tell the whole truth, or get off the air.

Ed_Bates,
Research is the job of Vanguard, If they want to research the Muslims protesting the radicals and speaking out, it is up to Vanguard to include such research in their documentary. The moderate 'protesting Muslims' need to get a bigger soap box. The Dearborn Muslims appear to not choose to speak out against radical Muslims.
Where are these 'speaking out Muslims' when we need intelligence on the inner working of the mosques that are preaching radical jihad?

Vanguard needs to focus on the great work they do about humanitarian issues, like the soccer boys of Africa, etc. But then, they are likely infected with Al Gores' "I invented the internet" egos.
The saying, "If you are not a part of the solution, you are part of the problem" surely applies to those silent/peaceful Muslims. When Vanguard can get some on screen rebuttal of the militant Muslims by Muslims of the 'Religion of Peace', the journalistic integrity of Vanguard will get the first brick for its foundation on this issue.

Some fears are unfounded?????? WHICH ONES? the ones that they will cut off heads like Mr. Hassan in Buffalo cause the missus wanted a divorce? or the fear about an Army officer that shot up Ft Hood? or the fear that they will kill thier daughters for being too westernized like the Said sisters or Noor? or the fear that they will threaten your life if you make certain cartoons like Molly Noris did? You so called "journalists" are pathetically BLIND!!!

The show was a little like watching Barney the Dinosaur's show, with scary music. I was actually hoping to be convinced to relax about Islam, but it had the opposite effect. When that Islamic guy smacked the Islamaphobe in the car, I felt a strong, seriously strong, disdain for him. I think violence is the line crossed, not protesting against what might be a stupid opinion by an over-reacting Islamophobe protectionist. Isn't that the whole point? No to violence, yes to debate!

You are not keeping up with the times. It would be racist to say that Muslims can have a controversial neologism generally defined as a prejudice against, or demonetization of, Christians.

In order to learn the truth about Islam, we have to examine the Islamic sources.
Here is a sampling of the doctrines of Islam which motivate the hearts and minds of all religious Moslems:
FROM THE KORAN:
--“ the (only) religion (acceptable) before God is Islam." (3:19)
-- " If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him." (3: 85)
-- “You are the noblest community ever raised up for mankind.” (3:110)
-- The unbelievers among the people of the book and the pagans shall burn forever in the fire of Hell. They are the vilest of all creatures. (98.6).
-- Surely the vilest of animals in Allah’s sight are those who disbelieve. (8.55)
--The unbelievers are your inveterate enemy. (4:101)
-- Mohammed is God's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another. (48:29).
-- It is unlawful for a believer to kill another believer, accidents excepted. (4:92)
-- Believers, take neither the Jews nor the Christians for your friends. (5:51)
-- Make war on them until idolatry shall cease and God's religion shall reign supreme. (8:40)
-- Fight against them until idolatry is no more and God's religion reigns supreme. (2:193)
-- The true believers fight for the cause of God, but the infidels fight for the devil. (4:76)
-- We will put terror into the hearts of the unbelievers. (3:151)
-- I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers. (8:12)
FROM THE SAYINGS OF MUHAMMAD:
-- Muhammad said to the Jews: "If you embrace Islam, you will be safe. You should know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Apostle, and I want to expel you from this land. “
-- Allah's Apostle said, "You (i.e. Muslims) will fight with the Jews till some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, 'O 'Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.' "
-- Mohammed said, "I have been ordered to fight with the people till they say, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and whoever says, " None has the right to be worshipped but Allah , his life and property will be saved by me." (otherwise it will not).
-- Mohammed said, "Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him."
-- Mohammed said, " No Muslim should be killed for killing a Kafir" (infidel).
-- Muhammad said: "Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war, …"
In addition, the most popular manual of Islamic sacred law, approved by the highest Islamic religious authorities of Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, says: "Jihad means to make war on non-Muslims." What could be clearer than that?
And, how about this:
Ayatollah Khomeini, the most important Moslem leader of the 20th Century, said: "Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those who say this are witless. Islam says: Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all! Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured? Islam says: Kill them, put them to the sword and scatter their armies.... Islam says: whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! the sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for the Holy Warriors! There are hundreds of other Koranic psalms and Hadiths urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all this mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim."
And, how about this:
From Jihad in Islam by Sayyeed Abdul A'la Maududi, one of the most prolific and most widely read and influential Islamic writers of the 20th Century:
“The goal of Islam is to rule the entire world and submit all of mankind to the faith of Islam. Any nation or power that gets in the way of that goal, Islam will fight and destroy.”
All of this is Islam -- the faith, the belief system, the ideology. The peaceful Moslems, and they certainly exist, do not follow the violent, hateful, aggressive and supremacist doctrines of Islam. Yet, those doctrines, taught and preached in mosques and Moslem schools around the world, are there for all to see; and they will always produce scores of millions of Moslems who take them seriously. Any given Moslem might or might not be peaceful; but there is no question about the doctrines of Islam promoting violence. All of the Islamic sacred sources plus the most respected Islamic religious authorities say that Islam requires the "offensive jihad" for spreading Islam throughout the world.

The documentary Islamaphobia was biased at best. The producers of this documentary portrayed those who are rightfully concerned about the march of Islam around the world as racist, bigoted and violent individuals. At no time, did the producers explain why and who those in Yorba Linda, CA were protesting. In addition, they never explained the purpose and activities of CAIR. At no time, did the EDL or others featured in the program promote violence against Muslims. However, the one interaction that Tommy (EDL’S leader) had with a Muslim, he was physically assaulted. How Ironic?
It seems as though Muslim’s have become masters at placing themselves on the same plane as those who are and have been genuinely discriminated against in Western society. They have become masters at presenting themselves as victims. Islam has no interest in joining Western civilization as we know it. It is diametrically opposed to the ideals and values that are central to Western civilization. Over and over again throughout the program, it was portrayed as just a religious belief when the fact is that Islam is an ideology that encompasses social, political and religious instruction for everyday life that includes discriminatory practices against all who do not submit. There is no separation between church and state!!! While not all Muslims are practicing Islam in its purest form ( a closer look at the fundamentals of Islam would have been helpful), the idea of their immigration to non-Muslim lands is central to their religious doctrine. The reason being they are practicing Jihad of peace. This is the act of living in the land of the infidels. Until those Muslims who truly desire to live in peace within Western civilization give voice to their opposition to those who have so called “high jacked” their religion, non-Muslims who feel powerless against what they see as an assault on their way of life will continue to grow.

It's only a phobia if it is irrational. It's not paranoia if you have real enemies. Sharia "Law" is on par with the worst elements of Maoism, Stalinism, and Nazism.

Saying we are Islamphobic is like saying the English were IRAphobic in the 70's and 80's.

This documentary was so biased, that it was almost funny to watch. You only interviewed moderate muslims and the most vocal of the pro western groups in the US and England. You gave the impression that Islam is a religion of peace and the West is a bunch of drunkards. You failed to address and interview radical islamists who want Sharia law and the destruction of the West for a more balanced viewpoint.

Even when one political leader in England was assaulted by a muslim fanatic in the street, there was no response by your reporter, Mr Yamaguchi, who apparently found that normal. On the contrary, I think that the British guy proved his point. Your documentary also failed to point out the sourates in the Coran that calls on the killing of non muslims.

I agree that only 15% of muslims ( a small percentage) are willing to take radical actions and kill westerners, but when taking in account the 1 billion of muslims in the world, that leaves us with 150 millions of fanatics ready and willing to kill Americans. Your documentary actually makes me want to support these organizations you are fighting.

I love how everything these anti Islamist say is demonized as hateful,untrue,lies told by loons. When everything they say is based upon facts.
Child brides
Its halal to beat your wife
Read the Koran which all Muslims adhere to today.Which is unlike any other religion.
Read reliance of the traveler.
Get facts not perceptions and opinions of the to apologists demonizing their own western brethren for a religion which to this day stones women for being raped or alleged adultery.Who executes gays or those who convert to Christianity.
Read a Pakistani news paper. Honor killings,acid attacks,pedophilia and prostitution rings.
Islam is not the religion of peace.It is proven everyday with a body count. Across the globe over 15000 deaths occurred since 911 in the name of Mohammed.
Yet that is not talked about.
Tommy Robinson is portrayed as a radical who spews nothing but hate. In the video clips they show are cherry picked.When in fact if they played the entire clip Tommy Robinson wins the argument.EDL stands for equality for women,gays,non muslims.
Read the Koran people. This video is so pathetically pro Islam.
The media is corrupt and deludes the masses.

The Islamophobia video - the FBI did en extensive investigation on Mosques and found 20% where peaceful while 80% radical - when a group will not assimilate there is a problem - growth of population in a given area is part of their plan - their beliefs are in direct opposition to free peoples beliefs.

Anyone who believes in the truth of his religion has a duty to fight back against other religions. How can other religions be allowed, if yours is correct?

Obviously, all religions are false. Duh.

This is quite a controversial issue and I wonder if it was produced in time to explore the uproar over the creation of the mosque near ground zero. It's a topic that needs to be explored and I'm glad that Current has created a video about it.

In a world of sanitized xenophobic sycophant network news, the reality TV explosion and countless mindless sitcoms / police shows clogging the airwaves as pablum for the masses, the most thought provoking, relevant, moving, informative television in memory is being produced by Current TV and Vanguard. THANK YOU Current TV for sharing / investigating world events with / for the American people.
