What we learn in this movie: Muslims don't commit suicide bombings out of a hatred of the West, they just want to paintball and go to Disneyland.

Oh, wait, what about the Madrid train bombings and the 7/7 attacks?

Those must be false-flag ops.

And those people on the internet claiming that they are bombing for Allah?

Paid actors?

This movie makes people think they should resent their government, but really, security should be sought in a world of uncertainty.

p.s. Strauss was a European Jew who realized that evil exists in the world and we must be vigilant. You can't live with your head in the sand.

For all the liberal Muslim apologists out there, try going to Saudi Arabia or Pakistan with you ipod and your compassion for others. If we don't feel compelled to defend our way of life, we could all be living under a caliphate if the world's fastest growing ideology has its way.

If that's what you took from it, you evidently weren't paying much attention.

Honestly, I've only seen the first part of this film, but if that is any indication of the subsequent two parts, I'm going to have to say that you may have missed an entire half of the message.

If you don't resent your govt. in some capacity then buddy, I have a helluva bridge to sell you. You're gonna love it.

Btw, I saw no incidence of Muslim extremist exoneration but then again, maybe you're the type of person who sees whatever they want.
