One of the bridging plot sequences is the indoctrination of some young Pakistanis into AlQuedah or a similar group.
I was shocked at the similarities between their introduction to the Moslem religion (love bombing, long studies etc) and the way Dubs are sucked in.
Both use the same tactics and withhold a great deal of info until the person is thought to be "ready".
Watch it with an open mind and try not to let my suggestions influence you, and then report your experience!
That may be the way that so called muslim extremeists aka terrorists as depicted in that movie do their recruiting, however that is not the way that islam propagates. Next to the truth of their being only one God -- there is no compulsion in religion is the next key point - if you wish.
i watched Syriana more than once - and i agree it does not put a very good light on muslims. that doesn't bother me because unfortuately facts are facts. extremes in any religion or group of people with a common thread always breeds trouble.
one thing that people do not consider about the many people that resort to suicide bombing is that these people are victims of poverty. they have nothing to live for. so someone telling them bs about how they will be supposedly rewarded in heaven is like salve on a wound -- but they don't realise the damage they do to the ummah in general by being suckered into this behaviour. i am not defending their behaviour, but I know that true poverty really messes up peoples minds and make fertile soil for extemeists.
just my 2 cents worth.
Good insight Muslima.
I watched Syriana only last week and felt the brutal truth what is going on was hard to watch.
I believe Muslima is right. The extremists do not represent the Muslim people as a whole.
Oh and to answer your question Mr. Amos, I did not see a similarity between the indoctrination of suicide terrorists and JWs. The JWs are not taught to hate and kill people of another country or religion.
They are definitely taught to hate the bad that people do and to keep separate from the world.
Jehovahs Witnesses are for the most part harmless. If the Society ever went mad and ordered witnesses to kill others I believe there would be a mass exodus from the cult.
