Thank you all for recommending this film. From the trailers I thought it would be another PC, Islam is a good religion, America is the root of all world problems, patriots are evil, etc, films. I’m happily surprised that my expectations are wrong. I’ll be seeing it this weekend.

One of the things that we as westerners MUST start to “get” is that these people LIVE their religion, as opposed to “practice” a few times a day. I’m reading Dinesh D’Souza’s “The Enemy At Home.” While I strongly disagree with his view that “we brought 9/11 on ourselves,” which, despite his many denials, comes through pretty strongly, he does provide a powerful insight into the view by radicalized Muslims that they see all of western culture as a threat to all of Islam. The sex, depravity, destruction of women’s roles and the family are all very real issues to them. Some of that comes through in “The Kingdom,” and the unanswered question is, how do those Muslims who want to “reform” or “modernize” Islam do so?
