But is this true? Now, Islam: What the West Needs to Know, takes an unblinking look at the so-called “religion of peace” – and demonstrates that Islam is, in fact, a violent and expansionist religion that seeks the destruction or subjugation of other faiths, cultures, and systems of government. Featuring interviews with noted Islam experts Robert Spencer, Serge Trifkovic, Bat Ye\'or, Abdullah Al-Araby, and former terrorist Walid Shoebat, Islam: What the West Needs to Know examines the Koran, other Islamic texts, and the example of the prophet Muhammad to reveal that violence against non-Muslims is and has always been an integral aspect of Islam.rnrnThe Islam: What the West Needs to Know DVD reveals:rnrnHow warfare – even terrorism -- in the name of Islam stems directly from the teachings and example of the Prophet Muhammad and the commands of the KoranrnrnThe truth about Muhammad: a warlord with the blood of thousands on his hands – and how Muslims are expected to follow his example, as Christians are to follow ChristrnrnHow the Koran – considered by Muslims to be dictated word for word by Allah – explicitly commands violence against non-Muslims who resist conversion or surrenderrnrn“Jihad”: an “inner struggle” over temptation, as some Muslim apologists claim?
