Earlier today, I was sent the following email from Hadiatu Dumbuya, former Butler University female soccer star and now CEO of HDC, a Michigan-based consulting firm. In an apparent attempt to get me to back off on Islam she has notified me of the US premiere of “MOOZ-lum”.
MOOZLUM ~IN Theaters 2/11/2011~
MOOZ-LUM‟ FILM STARRING NIA LONG & EVAN ROSS
GETS FEB. ’11 RELEASE DATEGlobal demand and grassroots support help indie film land deal with AMC Theatres® & Eventful
NEW YORK, NY (December 15, 2010) – After sold-out advance screenings, online momentum, and heightened global anticipation, Mooz-lum, the critically-acclaimed film about a Muslim-American youth’s struggle with his faith and identity, will finally be released in U.S. theaters on February 11, 2011, Peace Films announced today.
Starring Nia Long (Are We There Yet, Love Jones), Evan Ross (ATL, Pride), Roger Guenveur Smith (American Gangster, Do The Right Thing) and Danny Glover (Dreamgirls,The Color Purple), Mooz-lum generated a groundswell of international support this year from thousands of fans in over 40 countries. Within
weeks of the film’s trailer being posted on YouTube, it garnered nearly 200,000 views and over 77,000 people have “Liked” Mooz-lum on Facebook. Additionally, at the film’s New York premiere at the Urbanworld Film Festival in September, nearly 1,000 guests showed up at the 200-seat theater to view the film.“From writing the script to shooting the film with such great actors to seeing the positive response at festivals and online, this has been an incredible journey,” says Mooz-lum writer/director Qasim Basir. “I’m extremely optimistic that the release of our film will have the power to give a voice to some and enlighten many others.”
“We are very excited that AMC and Eventful are partnering with us to bring this very important film to an audience that has been waiting to see it,” adds producer Dana Offenbach.
Mooz-lum won “Best Narrative Feature” at Urbanworld 2010 and was an official selection at both the Chicago International Film Festival and the Cairo International Film Festival this year.
The film has been featured on CNN, NPR, Reuters, New York Times, BBC World News, ABCNews.com, “Good Day NY” and WPIX/CW 11.
No matter how much Islam becomes entrenched in America, there will always be non-Muslims who will ignore reality and support Islam. These people are exactly who Muslims target to help advance Islam, and that is precisely why Screenwriter/Director Qasim Basir has made this film.
The tools of Islam that are used in this film are the following:
Written and directed by Qasim Basir, Mooz-lum is one of the first-ever American feature films depicting the life of a young Muslim-American. The all-star cast includes: Danny Glover (Dreamgirls, The Color Purple), Nia Long (Are We There Yet, Love Jones), Roger Guenveur Smith (American Gangster, Do The Right Thing), Summer Bishil (The Last Airbender, Towelhead) and Evan Ross (ATL, Pride).

http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150101654622305We’re making a movie that we hope will offer a different perspective on Muslims/Islam than what is normally portrayed. As a result, opening the minds & hearts of millions.
With your help we will create a grass roots marketing campaign that will ensure the success of this film before it’s release. This page is yours as much as it is ours. We want all of our supporters to get involved and make this a vibrant, interactive and fun journey to the finish line… And when the movie does come out, it will be a win for us all.
The crew behind this film consists of many different religions, cultures & nationalities. We’re not trying to push anything on anyone… We just have a story to tell.
Like I said, Islamic con… of course they are trying to push something on people. They are trying to force the acceptance of Islam on non-Muslims. Why is this so hard for some people to see?
Hadiatu, your attempt to get me to back off on Islam has failed.
Good God! I felt distinctly queasy watching this, and it comes as no surprise whatsoever that the BBC are promoting this film. You’re probably aware of the fact that the recently created ‘Baroness’ (sic) Sayeeda Warsi has launched a campaign in the UK castigating the middle class for its ‘Islamophobia’. The BBC, even at the level of its regional news programming, has dutifully responded by offering a channel for Dawah: http://durotrigan.blogspot.com/2011/01/look-north-looks-east.html
Thanks for tipping me off of another film I will absolutely NOT rent when it eventually comes out on dvd in a few months from now.
Make sure you vandalise them though.
Admin,
If sending you a trailer for this film was really her attempt to get you to back off Islam, its extremely pathetic. I mean, it would make far more sense to try to point out some facts that contradict some of the things you’ve been saying, rather than tell you to go watch this movie. It would make a bit more sense if this movie was supposed to be based on a true story, but from what I can tell, they are not even making that claim.
Not mention the fact that even if there are some Muslims in America that resemble the ones in this film, so what? It doesn’t say anything about what Islam actually teaches and does nothing to create reasonable doubt that there are large numbers of Muslims out there, that want to destroy our way of life, force us to convert, submit or die.
All of the films in the world don’t change the content of Islam and Muslim culture.
To this Westerner, both are repulsive.
Pay no attention to all the hatred, bloodshed etc. all over the world, all done in the name of islam.
Go to the movies and have sunshine piped up your behind.
Your FIRST clue that it’s BS is the fact that Glover is in it. Glover is recognized as an anti-American socialist. Every movie he’s in MUST have an element of anti-Americanism…..or he doesn’t participate.

And forcing them to submit.
Islam, this is your Vietnam.
I want to see a movie called Inn-Fye-Dell.
Me too!
Amen!!
I am thinking of getting a couple for target practice and then mailing the pieces to the closest mosques near me!
i suppose then that “the godfather” was intended to make us view the mafia more favorably
Where is sick bag?
I see that they give a nod to the Muslim Brotherhood’s own MSA…. but I’m sure the MSA is just a student organization!
Hey, Bad Muslims, this message is for you. The nice Muslims need not read the following.
We non-Muslims will continue to fight against the Criminal Activity of Islamism. We nice people hate Shariah Law of Islamism.
Look, Bad Muslims, I know that Islam came from the abyss, from hell, from Satan. I know this because Shariah, i.e. Islam, is a brutally repressive ideology. You call it a religion. However, pure and simple, Shariah teaches Criminal Activity:
Muslims have no right to mutilate little girls. The True God endowed little girls with a clitoris. The Muslim god, Satan, sometimes called Allah, teaches that perverted Muslims must chop off the clitorises of little girls. That’s very cruel and evil. That comes from the Muslim god, Satan, also called Allah. That’s Islam. That’s Shariah. Why don’t you Bad Muslims convert and leave little girls alone? Why do you have to practice sadism and cruelty?
Islam, i.e., Shariah teaches that apostates of Islam must be punished, actually murdered. Why? I’ll tell you why some Muslims are leaving Islam. They can see that Islam practices Criminality. So leave apostates alone. If they don’t want to continue practicing Criminality, they have the right to leave Islam. Why compound Islamic crime by murdering apostates?
Why stone women to death for committing the same sin that depraved, sinful Muslim male sex perverts commit? You see; depraved, sinful Muslim male sex perverts may “marry” several women and then legally have sex with them. If Muslim women did this, they would be stoned to death for adultery, but not the depraved Muslim male lechers. This also means the Islamists may legally practice hypocrisy. Why don’t you Bad Muslims wise up? Why don’t you become good and decent?
Why must depraved, wicked Muslim male sex perverts force underage little girls to marry them? After a forced marriage, the Muslim perverts legally rape these little girls. Shame on you depraved, sadistic Muslim male sex perverts. Leave the little girls alone. They don’t want to be raped by sadistic Muslim male lechers. Shame on you animals, you wicked Muslim perverts.
You evil Muslims go over the top. The punishment doesn’t fit the crime. Islam/Shariah teaches that petty thieves, male or female, must have their feet, hands, and eyes gouged out for petty thievery. Shame on you sadistic evil Muslims.
Why don’t you Bad Muslims grow a human brain so that you can see that Shariah is a very repressive law? Shariah stinks to high heaven. Islam stinks. Islam was established for the sole purpose to destroy all human beings including the Muslims: Female Genital Mutilation, Suicide Bombers, lashing old women, hanging homosexuals, Honor Killings, et cetera, et cetera.
You do know that there are “Bad” of every type of religion out there. why don’t you criticize your own kind as i will criticize mine before we jump at other people. Also Muslims are not so “bad” as you put it. I’ve actually come to loving them if you’d open your ignorant eyes and ears you’d notice the same. Its people like you that are corrupting this world and filling it with hatred. You are a narrow-minded, prejudice, and repulsive fellow. I’ve even watched this movie and it shows the good and the bad side of Islam its not narrow-minded as you are and is very relevant to Muslims. If you want to stop being so cruel you’d watch the movie if not stick to your ignorance.
Why don’t you point out the worldwide Christian and Jewish movements trying to impose a barbaric set of religious laws on all? Islam condones rape, slavery, and the dominance of non-Muslims. Why don’t you explain why I should respect it? When you want to debate me on the Islamic scriptures just let me know.
Hey, Bad Muslims, why do you relegate your own mothers to second class? You stupid Bad Male Muslims are made from flesh of your mothers’ flesh, yet, as soon as you are born, you bad, perverted male Muslims become first class, and your mothers remain second class. Your criminal religion, Islam, stinks to high heaven. It’s like your perverted brain. It makes no sense.
Well, Biblical prophecy does say that Christians will be led astray and follow the anti-Christ. Islam is the anti-Christ religion.
I live in Houstno, and I think I’ll see if I can organize some friends to protest at the AMC theaters showing this propaganda.
Good for you David850! That’s the kind of grass roots, lone group stuff that we can all do and that can be very effective. Make posters, notify the local news media that there will be a protest of this movie, and if any media show up, be prepared with statements that show pisslam to be a totalitarian, repressive, political ideology that calls for the death of Christians, Jews, apostates, gays, any non-mooslum, over and over again in their unholy book. A press release stating your outrage and offense at the tenets of pisslam, giving them good pull quotes, would be excellent!
Go team!
If people know the truth about the religion/ideology of islam this film will not make any difference to what most of us feel and know about this cult!
The so-called moderates are still mostly antisemitic and would go along with the radicals if their life depended on it!
Islam is a religion/ideology of fear however anyone tries to tell you any different!!
Oh I’m SO mad. I’ll tell ya about the MOOOOZLEM youth struggling with their faith. My KIDS rejected me in that damned (literally) struggle. One came back and the other still isn’t. Consequently I’m a female and my daughter is the one who came back. My son is a member of the MOOZLIM brotherhood.
Yeah, they’re just chewing it right up with the propaganda, huh? Yeah.. who could care about the plight of Christians all over the world being slaughter because of “identity” crisis regarding their MOOZLEM faith (because they’re rejecting Islam), but OH we must emphasis the STOOPID PROPAGANDA of a moronic MOOOZLIM American. I don’t wanna see it. I don’t CARE. I’m sure it’s just full of lies and biased opinions without facts, half truths and outright stupidity such as “American women are oppressed”.
OMG I SO HATE ISLAM.
Hang in there my friend, we are just getting started!
Boniferous,
I feel bad for you. It must be hard having a son who’s a member of the dreadful Muslim Brotherhood. As a mother part of you may still feel love for him, but if he has fully embraced their absurd hate filled ideology, it maybe a better idea for you to just stay away from him. He maybe beyond saving at this point. I’d even be afraid of what he might do if he found out you were commenting on this site. I just we wish I had some more advice I could give you, to help you in your situation. It can’t be easy or very pleasant.
Boniferous,
I’m so sorry your son was brainwashed with the Muslim filth. Thank God your daughter came back to you. Someday maybe your son will “see the light” and do the same. In the meantime, cherish your daughter and know that there is an army of people fighting the war against this invading army of retched slime that is invading our country and our youth. We must stand together for there is strength in numbers.
Quote:

end quote.
A girl or woman has much, much more to lose in Islam, and a young man has much to gain.
Your son has bought into a bankrupt morality of conquest and force. He will return to you only when he decides that the love of God is better than the glory of “Allah”.
Mohammad Bagher Khorramshad told IQNA that it is incumbent upon all Cultural Centers in foreign countries to introduce the Quranic culture of the country to the whole world for the culture of Iran has its origins in the teachings of the Holy Quran, Islam and the principles of the Islamic Revolution.
http://www.iqna.ir/en/news_detail.php?ProdID=736841
Quranic culture.
Oh, I think Cyrus, Darius and the Sassanids would disagree!
POWERFULLY!
Ancient Persia pre-dated Islam.
And it was powerful on its own. I’m sure that in the minds of most Iranians, the history of Persia is much more powerful than Islam.
Islam, after all, is the invention of certain rats in the desert. Rats who were and are not Persian.
EIB,
I wouldn’t be so sure that Iranians are more into the history of Persia, than they are Islam, even it is an important part of their heritage. Islam is now as much a part of their heritage as ancient Persia. If Islam did not loom large in the minds of a significant number of Iranians their Islamic Revolution would have never occurred. Even if the Shah was overthrown, the Grand Ayatollah Khomeini would not have been a very popular choice to replace the Shah. Even if he somehow gain power, he would have had a hard time instituting many of his “reforms.”
I would not see that film if my life depended upon it.
I loathe Islam for the vile and oppressive FASCIST ideology which it is.
How long are we going to allow these Islamonazis to shelter under ‘relgion’?
Theirs is a religion like Nazism is a religion or the KKK is a religion.
And American blacks who are being sucked in by their taqiyya had better wise up. In Islamic countries blacks are still used for slavery and sodomy.
WHEN WILL THIS END?
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
2012 GO WEST
I am glad African American muslims are being represented in a film. I wonder if any of you would have intelligent dialogue with this African American muslim who (assumedly like most of you as well as the people she associates with) works, loves the Almighty, loves her family –including non-Muslims–loves her country, and tries to do good in her community; one who is saddened (tho’ not disheartened) at the level of negativity and misrepresentation of Islam here. Is there some pleasure in throwing stones? FYI The Satan is an enemy of all persons who are striving to be righteous.
Actually I emailed her this link and she never responded. Now why don’t you point out exactly where the “misrepresentation is? Is there some pleasure in supporting a religion that calls allows slavery?
One of the advantages of a “free” society is the exposure of ideas to the marketplace. I am an atheist so I don’t understand the hoopla for any religion; however, I don’t like censorship or someone else’s version thrust on me. Let the supporters of Islam tell their story. You can point to recent events as your evidence against Islam but all religions have a bloody,racist,brutal past (a recent example is the Catholic sex scandal yet somehow that institution continues). Respect an individual’s right and ability to discern truth from falsehood. This can be facilitated by open debate of the ideas. An individual can be wrong or led astray;one of the risks of an open society. But the unilateral stream of information I believe is even more wrong; it doesn’t allow the individual to come to a conclusion like you have based on a debate of the ideas presented by both sides.
Muslims don’t debate they kill. And while the Catholic Church has a dark past and is beset by scandals today at least the Catholics are not hell bent on enforcing barbaric religious laws on us. The Catholics of today are not suggesting stoning women and severing limbs and entombing women in black cloth in public as the muslims are. Muslims are busy spreading taqiyya and kitman via PR campaigns and movies portraying themselves to be the opposite of what they really are. Want to be an athiest go ahead but when the muslims take over you will be beheaded or stoned to death, Christians just let you go your way.
They have told their story, and I reject it. How much longer should Muslims be allowed to destroy Western Civilization from within, in the name of an “open society”?
Once you get past the religious disguise you will see Islam for what it is.
Interesting how many of you dismiss the atrocities of other religions(the Catholics and Christians supported slavery for over 400 years leading to millions of deaths and ruined lives). The Catholic Church currently supports a ban on condoms in Africa which is leading to countless deaths from HIV/Aids. The rigid dogma from all religions leads to death and ruined lives. If the Muslim narrative is false it will be seen for what it is. You can have your opinion but allow others to make up their mind based on the submission of narratives from the pro-muslim and anti-muslim camps. I respect other people’s ability to come to the correct conclusion once presented with the facts, do you?
Interesting how you think you are going to change the focus of this site to past history. You are not. What you fail to understand is that Muslims are the masters of deception and spreading misinformation. So there are far too many people who are buying what they are selling. If you do not like what is said here, I suggest you find another site.

The Muslim slave trade exists in the here and now.
It has been continuous since the 8th century.
Save your righteousness for another day.
And the crimes of christians do not excuse the crimes of Islam.

So what are you condemning?
Where is individual choice in your little equation?
One would think you come from a collectivist society and mindset.
It’s pretty obvious you have some trouble with the idea of personal responsibility.
How very … post-modern.

The most righteous-sounding SHUT UP I’ve ever heard.
You’re kind of the softer version of Bill O’Reilly.
I am not fearful of hearing the other side in any issue; nor of having others.Seems you are.
You might want to reread my last comment to you. The bottom line is that we did not let Nazis assemble during WWII, and we should not allow Sharia loving Muslims to. Take a look across the West what you suggest is a proven failure. Like I said find another site.
The other side?
So why don’t you go to Revolution Muslim or CAIR’s website?
There are plenty of venues at which “the other side” can be heard.
This is Loganswarning, and here, a specific side, not often acknowledged by the MSM is covered.
The more you complain about “bias”, the more convinced I will become that you have an agenda.
Admin – I am not defending Islam or Muslims..obviously you haven’t read what I wrote either…I can tell you have an axe to grind;I feel sorry for you……
The critique of Islam is not axe-grinding.
Islam has come west.
It will be subject to critical views.
Get over it.
Obviously I read your comments, and that is why I responded. I have no axe to grind, it is just that what you are suggesting is a proven failure, and like I said you will not change what goes on here. I also do not care what you think of me. The mission will NOT change! Is this all clear enough for you?
John, you are probably fortunate enough to live in America where you have strong protection and plenty of spaces to hide. Muslims in Europe are so convinced of their successful takeover that they announce their plans in the media. For instance a cheerful tv discussion on the use of the Olympic football stadium after 2012 was dampened when a guest, a Muslim leader,stated that ‘We (the Muslims) would use it for punishment’. His face brightened a little when he added ‘and the people could watch’. Realising that he wasn’t in Iran, he hastily added ‘There could be swimming pools’.
Picture it!
A member of my family had a black shrouded woman float past her in the local pool, so that insanitary way of practising one’s religion wouldn’t catch on worldwide without pressure. Amputations in the local footie ground, a spot of lunch and then off to pollute the local swimming pool. Muslims should not be permitted to force others down their backward, joyless path. This is not a matter for debate, it is all about the strong being prepared stand up for the rights of the vulnerable and naive. I include innocent dogs in this, as Muslims believe Satan is in them and want them disposed of unless they can be used as guard dogs. Tied up all day in all weathers.
Ayatollah Khomenei recommended sex with babies, even sodomy to bring relief to the Muslim male.What is there to debate? We can hear Muslim opinions any day, it’s rammed down our throats.
Eib/Emmi – I belieive we are closer in thinking than our words suggest. I am not a muslim or a defender of Islam. I agree with you that critical insight into Islam is desparately needed because many of us in the West are grossly ignorant of Islam’s views,philosophy and practices. We missed the wakeup calls from the bombings of our (I am American) embassies but their hatred for us became abundantly clear on 9/11. Admin: this site came up as I was looking for reviews of the movie. I was not aware of the site’s objective nor would I want to change it. I admire your passion and your initiative in starting a site to warn the World of what you consider to be the true “Islam”. My point all along is I need to know for myself. I want the same for others. I am still in my infancy in understanding Islam. Has the religion been hijacked by extremist or is this their true way. My only real exposure to Islam prior to 9/11 is the “Black Muslims” (I know they do not practice true Islam nor are they representative of the faith); Malcolm X,Elijah Muhammed and Minister Farrakhan. I won’t trouble you further but as to knowledge, you are farther along than many and you have an opportunity to teach.
At this point, the best thing you can do to create a knowledge base about Islam is to read the Quran yourself.
You will find that it is chaotic, repetitive and sometimes downright tiresome to read, but you must understand the characteristics of Allah, the deity Muslims revere, some of the history of the prophet Mohammed in his own words, which people Muslims glorify (Islam) and which ones they vilify and are sworn to destroy (the infidel).
When you see Surahs and verses written out, it lookes like they’re just hanging– but it’s important for you to understand that the Quran has no formal principle of organization– not chronological nor thematic. In other words, it is completely chaotic and so it is hard to establish or even argue in favor of a trans-Surah context.
Above all, you need to understand that there is vast gulf between what Muslims say about Islam, history and the West and what Westerners say about these things.
This gap in perceptions is absolutely necessary if the West is to preserve its perspective and its culture.
You need to understand why multiculturalists have no more authority, a direct result of their paradoxical stand on diversity.
They would level all cultures, yet in the process, they would destroy diversity; if all cultures are the same, and serve the exact same purposes, then can we argue that they are diverse at all?
Cultural conflict is not chimera– it is real.
