Inside Islam: the Movie


Inside Islam: What a Billion Muslims Really Think, shown at Columbia Basin College in Pasco Washington, April 27, 2010 is produced by Unity Productions Foundation a Muslim propaganda effort founded by Michael Wolfe and Alex Kronemer. Like Muhammad, Legacy of a Prophet and their other films it presents an hour long spin on Mohammed and Muslim history which is overwhelming to those who have never read the Quran. It paints a picture of Muslims, Christians and Jews worshipping the same God in perfect harmony in one breath, while admitting that Constantinople was taken by the sword in another. It fails to mention that Spain and Portugal were also invaded by Muslim armies. Thus the reason for Charles Martel’s retaliation. Nor do they mention that on the walls of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem verses of the Quran challenge cardinal doctrines of Christianity (so much for harmony). Credit is obviously due to the Arabs for Algebra etc., but this film suggests that if it were not for Muslim scholars all ancient manuscripts would have been lost. Never mind the Vatican library, Irish Latin scribes, or the manuscripts that were carried to Russia for safe keeping when Muslims sacked Constantinople. We could also point to the non-Muslim dragomans, hired by the Ottomans to translate western literature so they could keep up with the west. The film even uses a deceptive photo of the Qumran caves where ancient Jewish manuscripts were found, as though it was Muslims that hide them there. One could write a book on the obvious deception of UPF films. Daniel Pipes has documented some of this on his website.
Attorney Tom Roach’s endorsement of the movie in his letter to the Tri-City Forum appears he is rather naïve.
Let us not forget, in Islam there are only two worlds, Dar al-Islam (the House of Islam) and Dar al-Harb (House of War).
