Clarion Fund Snags Coup, ‘Third Jihad’ Distributed Online by Snag Films

In this article Richard Silverstein reports that Snag Films founded by AOL founders Steve Case and Ted Leonsis is distributing The Clarion Fund's new hate film entitled The Third Jihad.

The film works very hard to demonize Islam for being a proselytizing religion. In many regards it is an expression of Jewish prejudice, for Aish haTorah students and staff almost certainly have an equally hostile view of Christian efforts to convert non-Christians to Christianity at least in the case of non-Christians that are Jewish.

I could quite easily create anti-Jewish propaganda pseudodocumentary based in a similarly distorted depiction of Jewish beliefs and daily prayers. See Followup: Jewish, Zionist War Against Salvation and Re: Followup: Jewish, Zionist War Against Salvation, but such a film would miss the key unstated theme of The Third Jihad, which is the effort of Zionists to suppress all criticism and action against Israel.

There is really only one value and one freedom at issue despite the attempt of the film's numerous Zionist spokesman and lackeys to disguise their real concerns.

As much as Zionists attempt to impose thought control on Americans, support for Zionism is not an American value, and the only freedom that American Muslims might almost uniformly question is the right of Zionists to manipulate this US government into providing unqualified support for the State of Israel and into wasting trillions of dollars in order to make the world safe for Zionism by incinerating Arab and Muslim countries.

According to the message of The Third Jihad, the only true Muslim moderates are those that swear complete allegiance to Neoconservative Zionism.

In a standard tactic of anti-Judaism a Jewish informant discloses the real dirt about Judaism to gentiles. The script of The Third Jihad brings this technique to Islamophobia with the substitution of Islam for Judaism and Muslim for Jew. In this particular instance Syrian American Muslim Zuhdi Jasser serves as the primary "good Muslim informant."

Maybe it reflects the nature of the Hafiz el-Assad regime, but Syrian origin psychiatrist Wafa Sultan and German Professor Bassam Tibi share a lot of the basic Neocon view of the world with Zuhdi Jasser.

When I met Tibi at Harvard, I was not particularly impressed with his comprehension of Central and Eastern European history and politics.

I give him credit for reading Hannah Arendt (see "The Totalitarianism of Jihadist Islamism and its Challenge to Europe and to Islam" in: Totalitarian Movements and Political Religions, Vol. 8, No. 1, March 2007, 35–54.), but I do not believe he understood her or her context, and I have some real problems when he applies his partial understanding of Arendt's concepts to issues of Islamic politicization as found in the Islamic world and in Europe.
