Have you seen the "3 things about Islam" video?

[antof9]

I just watched this (it's long -- 8 minutes), and am not sure what to think. I don't know anything about the person or organization who posted it, the "related videos" on the side give me pause, and I'll be honest; I'm confused by what could be implied from this video, if it's accurate. I'm very curious to hear your thoughts -- the people who

Re: Honest opinions...

Sorry to create confusion! I actually first saw the link to this video on my ultra-conservative cousin's Facebook page. I almost didn't watch it because I know that almost everything she posts about this kind of thing I find offensive. But then I thought I should watch it to see what she (and other conservatives, frankly) are watching, so I can have more intelligent conversations with them. All that to say I was pretty sure that it would be saying that Islam is bad. Or to put it more succinctly, that Islam is a lot more nefarious and insidious than *anyone else* is aware, and we should "guard" ourselves against it.

I would LOVE to know what your friend thinks. Because the interesting thing to me is that this video claims/seems to be saying "these are true things that most people don't know", and it acts like it's laying them out in plain black and white. If that's the case, then (theoretically) any Muslim viewing it should be like, "oh yes, that's all true." Right?

But I'm not convinced it is. Sadly, I'm mostly not convinced because of where I saw the link in the first place.

Honestly, I was confused, which is why I asked people to watch it :) I wanted the opinions of my friends!
