It is trying to provoke anti-islamic sentiment by showing the anti-western, retrograde and violent sides of islam.
Those films are mostly in arabic. This indicates that someone arabic originally took these films, posted them somewhere and otherwise distributed them. So these are excerpts of anti-western propaganda destined for arabic audiences. These excepts of propaganda are then spliced in with "news reels" of stonings, beheadings and testimonials of backwards, religious conservative anti-women, anti-gay, anti-sex and anti-liberal democracy thought, talk and images.
Personally I would rather live travel & visit in the west. Seeing that film (and I've seen others like it) only reinforces my preference of western liberal democracies. The arab and islamic world is only second to africa in terms of problems, poverty, ignorance, corruption, injustice, and superstition.

Mohammed, the 7th century founder of Islam, also happens to be the 2nd most popular name given to newborns in Great Brittan last year. Quite simply, the Dutch are coming to the same harsh realization regarding their rapid changing societal evolution caused by unfettered immigration policies that other western European countries are experiencing. They are paying an untold cultural and financial price that unfortunately, may only be read in history books before widespread common sense occurs.
Sound familiar? Similar consequences are taking place here in the U.S. with massive unfettered immigration, an absence of integration and even widespread refusal of assimilation in many cases. The statistical data illustrates the impending dire consequences. With U.S. census data showing Hispanic mothers populating at a ratio of 4-1 vs. Whites, and annual K-12 education costs per student at $9,800 per year, and with the addition of healthcare and other social services (Welfare), these combined numbers approach the astronomical for a typical immigrant family in Southern California. In fact, there are far more Spanish only radio stations and media outlets in Los Angeles than there are English. These types of immigration policies will not sustain themselves, yet contrarily only provide an eventual economic collapse the likes of which we may never have seen. This is basic math, quite simply a no-brainer.
In the end, a cultural introspective for most may provide a broader-based view regarding societal best interests, and thus an illustration of future consequences that otherwise may only be known at the time of the all consuming.

Careful Daybreaker. When Mark Steyn published a book about that he got hauled in front of a Canadian Human Rights Commission for disparaging Muslims. The thought and speech police might be after you soon.
In the U.S we are already seeing the consequences of unfettered immigration, thats the part of this current depression that none of the politicians want to talk about and if any one dare speaks this truth out loud they are branded a racist.

In your opinion, how has immigration contributed to the current recession? Just curious.

Agreed the new breed of immigrants have taken a big toll on the U.S economy. Many with their hands out straining an already depleted system. Unlike the immigrants that came to the U.S years ago the new immigrants are not afraid to take hand outs.
I dearly love my country and am capable of recognizing our many faults and while I cannot blame the immigration concerns for every challenge we face you are fooling yourself if you do not realize that it is in fact a huge drain on our system. What percentage of the illegals have a health care plan or car insurance? And when they get sick, injured, or has a car accident who foots the bill at the end of the day???????

Flashman, My comment was "I cannot blame the immigration concerns for every challenge we face" and you infer that my intent was to say they "are the root of all of our problems". Don't yawn just pay attention to what you read.

Ok Rick. But you were quite quick to jump from "immigrant", to "illegal immigrant", to "huge drain"...

I haven't seen any one say that. IMO there are three components to the current debacle and one of these issues seems to be taboo to speak about. 10 million (conservative figure IMO) illegal immigrants are taking a heavy toll on our health care, public schools, legal system and any other system that they touch. I pay huge taxes and get basically zero services, in fact if my local FD has to come to my house I get sent a bill for their visit.

I would say that sums it up very well.

I am going to go out on a limb here. I am guessing your probably not even American and most likely a liberal.
What do the good folks of Quebec do with people that break your laws?
Offer them a place to live and some sort of relief i would imagine. After all they are a Socialist liberal society. The problem is America is not. The policy's in place at the current time are straining and already weak economy. Look the American dollar is even with the Canadian dollar. As Americans did you ever think you would see that day?
