What we see in this article is something not uncommon. The author takes the most bloodthirsty xenophobic verses from the Koran and saying this is the heart of Islam this is what all Muslims believe. The interesting thing is OBL and the terrorists would agree with the writer.
If I may suggest

Who is the enemy, and what is this thing called jihadism that everyone has been talking about? Jihadism is a modern word, not something from the Quran. Jihadis, or jihadists, call themselves salafi jihadi or salafiyya jihadiyya (-iyya in Arabic is equivalent to -ism). When I first saw the term in early 2002, I thought it perfectly described the people we’re fighting and that the ideal name for the conflict we’re involved in might be a war on jihadis, or war on jihadism. However, the root of jihadism is “jihad,” which is actually a good word within Islam.

There is also no mistaking other similarities, such as the fixation with written authorities. The place of Marx and Lenin is taken by the Koran, references are made not to Gramsci but to Sayyid Qutb. Instead of the international proletariat, it takes as its revolutionary subject the Umma, and as its avant-garde and self-appointed representative of the masses it takes not The Party but the widely branching conspiratorial network of Islamist fighters. Although the movement can draw on older rhetorical forms which to outsiders may sound high-flown or big-mouthed, it owes many of its idées fixes to its Communist enemy: history obeys rigid laws, victory is inevitable, deviationists and traitors are to be exposed and then, in fine Leninist tradition, bombarded with ritual insults.
The movement's list of favourite foes is also short on surprises: America, the decadent West, international capital, Zionism. The list is completed by the unbelievers, that is to say the remaining 5.2 billion people on the planet. Not forgetting apostate Muslims who may be found among the Shiites, Ibadhis, Alawites, Zaidites, Ahmadiyyas, Wahhabis, Druze, Sufis, Kharijites, Ishmaelites or other religious communities.

Contrary to what the West appears to believe, the destructive energy of Islamist actions is directed mainly against Muslims. This is not a tactical error, not a case of "collateral damage". In Algeria alone, Islamist terror has cost the lives of at least 50,000 fellow Algerians. Other sources speak of as many as 150,000 murders, although the military and the secret services were also involved. In Iraq and Afghanistan, too, the number of Muslim victims far outstrips the death toll among foreigners. Furthermore, terrorism has been highly detrimental not only to the image of Islam but also to the living conditions of Muslims around the world.
The Islamists are as unconcerned about this as the Nazis were about the downfall of Germany. As the avant-garde of death, they have no regard for the lives of their fellow believers. In the eyes of the Islamists, the fact that most Muslims have no desire to blow themselves and others sky high only goes to show that they deserve no better than to be liquidated themselves. After all, the aim of the radical loser is to make as many other people into losers as possible. As the Islamists see it, the fact that they are in the minority can only be because they are the chosen few.

Is there more than the one hour stint that I saw on Fox? If so, is it for sale, is it released and where can it be had? Thanks
The numbers are not on our side
Which hatred distresses you? Muslim hatred and intolerance of Christians? Muslim hatred and intolerance of Hindus? Muslim hatred and intolerance of ordinary infidels?
It can't be Muslim hatred and intolerance of Jews, even though that particular brand of hatred is extreme. There aren't a billion Jews.
Who is this "we"? A thousand million is a whole lotta killin, specially since a good share of them are under the age of 18.
Muslims you see ARE PAGANS just like those in the beginning.. Murderous psychopaths..
My link to the movie has gone dead. IIRC, it was a little over 40 minutes long.

You must have a short work day. At 6:25 you were "out, off to work. " At 8:01 you are posting again.
What's that smell? It smells like sulphur.
Well get started then.
Amen!
I saw an hour version with Eddie Hill of Obsession. It says the movie is for sale on the link you just gave me but is this something more than what I saw. Do you know if it is typical movie length? I can't seem to find out if there is a difference. Also, is this only for sale on the web?
Obsession the movie: Never mind I found the information. It is a 77 minute documentary. There are additions to the segment I saw on Fox. I don't know to what degree because what I saw was pretty shocking and I thought I was pretty aware. Thanks.
Glad to help, such as it was. :o}
