Thread: My Brother the Islamist

This is looking to be a really interesting documentary. I thought someone already posted this, but I couldn't find it. If someone did, my apologize for the double post. Either way, I would love to get a discussion going about this.

YouTube - My Brother the Islamist (Part 1)

Appears to me that he has been brainwashed by islamic extremism.

That was a really interesting video. I enjoyed it. My only question is what did you want to discuss about it?

Precisely why I am firm in my beliefs about religions..... all of 'em.

How do you enjoy a sad story? It's horrible.

Jesus, don't be so fucking dense. I enjoyed the video because it told a very intriguing and unique story, one that's not told all that often. I didn't say I enjoyed seeing these people falling into extremism. I feel the same way hawg does about religion.

You can probably read the first few chapters of Michael Scheuer's "Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing hte War on Terror" to get a perspective of the Islamist viewpoint. It's surprisingly consistent for what most people stereotype as an ethical framework that came out of a bunch of desert nomads and traders

pertty good video documentary. I didn't see the sad part, though.
