A Jihad for Love (2007) - Movie Trailer
In a time when Islam is under tremendous attack from within and without, "A Jihad for Love" is a daring documentary filmed in twelve countries and nine languages. Muslim gay filmmaker Parvez Sharma has gone where the silence is loudest, filming with great risk in nations where government permission to make this film was not an option.
"A Jihad for Love" is Mr. Sharma's debut and is the world's first feature documentary to explore the complex global intersections between Islam and homosexuality. Parvez enters the many worlds of Islam by illuminating multiple stories as diverse as Islam itself. The film travels a wide geographic arc presenting us lives from India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, South Africa and France. Always filming in secret and as a Muslim, Parvez makes the film from within the faith, depicting Islam with the same respect that the film's characters show for it. "A Jihad for Love" is produced by Sandi DuBowski (Director/Producer of the award-winning "Trembling Before G-d") and Parvez Sharma in association with ZDF-Arte, Channel 4, LOGO, SBS-Australia, The Sundance Documentary Fund and The Katahdin Foundation.
In Western media, the concept of 'jihad' is often narrowly equated with holy war. But Jihad also has a deeper meaning, its literal Arabic being 'struggle' or 'to strive in the path of God'. In this film we meet several characters engaged in their personal Jihad's for love. The people in this film have a lot to teach us about love. Their pursuit of love has brought them into conflicts with their countries, families, and even themselves. Such is the quandary of being both homosexual and Muslim, a combination so taboo that very little about it has been documented.
As a result, the majority of gay and lesbian Muslims must travel a twisting, lonely and often dangerous road. The majority of Muslims believe that homosexuality is forbidden by the Qur'an and many scholars quote Hadith (sayings attributed to the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him) to directly condemn homosexuality. Islam, already the second largest religion in the world is also the fastest growing. 50 nations have a Muslim majority. In a few of those nations laws interpreted from alleged Qur'anic prohibitions of male homosexuality (lesbianism is allegedly absent from the Qur'an) are enforced by religious, tribal or military authorities to monitor, entrap, imprison, torture and even execute homosexuals. Even for those who migrate to Europe or North America and adopt Western personae of "gay" or "queer," the relative freedoms of new homelands are mitigated by persistent racial profiling and intensified state surveillance after the attacks of 9/11 and train bombings in Madrid and London.
As a result, many gay and lesbian Muslims end up renouncing their religion completely. But the real-life characters of A "Jihad for Love" aren't willing to abandon a faith they cherish and that sustains them. Instead, they struggle to reconcile their ardent belief with the innate reality of their being. The international chorus of gay and lesbian Muslims brought together by "A Jihad for Love" doesn't seek to vilify or reject Islam, but rather negotiate a new relationship to it. In doing so, the film's extraordinary characters attempt to point the way for all Muslims to move beyond the hostile, war-torn present, toward a more hopeful future. As one can imagine, it was a difficult decision for the subjects to participate in the film due to the violence they could face. It took the filmmaker six years to finish this film and he like those who have stepped forward to tell their stories feel that they are Islam's most unlikely storytellers. All of them feel that this film is too important for over a billion Muslims-and all the non-Muslims in the world-for them to say no. They are willing to take the risk in their quest to lay equal claim to their profoundly held faith.
A Jihad for Love's characters each have vastly different personal takes on Islam, some observing a rigorously orthodox regimen, others leading highly secular lifestyles while remaining spiritually devout. As the camera attentively captures their stories, the film's gay and lesbian characters emerge in all their human complexity, giving the viewer an honest rendering of their lives while complicating our assumptions about a monolithic Muslim community. Crucially, this film speaks with a Muslim voice, unlike other documentaries about sexual politics in Islam made by Western directors. In the hope of opening a dialogue that has been mostly non-existent in Islam's recent history, and defining jihad as a "struggle" rather than a "war," the film presents the struggle for love.

Norwegian Jihad - Norway
Nov 2007
By his own admission, Mullah Krekar trained units of suicide bombers in Iraq and founded a Taliban-style militant group. But all attempts to deport him from his safe haven in Norway have failed.
After six years of protracted court cases, Mullah Krekar isn't going anywhere. He admits to founding Ansar Al Islam, a militant Islamic group recognised by the UN as an Al Qaeda affiliate. He's also called for foreign troops in Iraq to be murdered and those who disagree with his interpretation of Islam to be beheaded. "Sniper teams in Iraq have publicly declared their loyalty to Krekar and say he is their leader", claims terrorism analyst Lydia Khalil. But he's protected by the Norwegian constitution, which bans deportation to countries that have the death penalty. "A lot of people are very frustrated by what he's been able to achieve in Norway", states Khalil. There was reportedly a CIA plot to abduct Krekar. "That attempt failed because apparently somebody tipped him off". Krekar maintains he has ended his leadership of Ansar al Islam and now only offers spiritual guidance. But the UN allege he is still covertly financing Ansar al Islam. While Krekar resolutely defends his position, the case has prompted much soul searching in Norway. As the Director of Norway's Migration Department states; "It's made us question the whole institution of resettlement".

Ed Hale -- White House Jihad -- Music Video
Music video for the song White House Jihad written by Transcendence lead singer Ed Hale and Tyler Bejoian (with a little help from Jay Z and Britney Spears). Ed has two cousins who will not 'be home for Christmas' this year because they are currently serving in Iraq. In June of 2005 he and his friends lost an old high school buddy who was killed in Iraq. The soldier's mom, reported in the paper, said the best way to honor her son is to "just get the word out, support our troops. We need to get them out of there."
Lyrics
White House Jihad
Blood runs down Pennsylvania avenue
And I find myself unfortunately hating you
Letters written home
The impostor king enthroned
Betrayal neath his nails
Footsteps on the trail
Blood laid on the ground
Our statues tumbling down
Bombs are rumbling all around us
Moonshine on my gun
I find myself more than ready to come home
Buried in this foreign sand
Stolen innocence my contraband
Shorthaired jesters politician thieves
have stolen all my patriotic dreams
Try remembering your prayers while killing babies in their homes
Stepping on their bibles while your busy sorting skulls
Passages are weak to redeem the so-called meek
Who don't inherit anything but a gunshot to the head
While they're laying in their beds
Their hearts are filled with dread
Praying for some mercy form the infidels
Who come straight from hell
Red white and blue
Come to slaughter you
Show us what you got baby X 4
All your talk of freedom
While your war machine keeps raging
Your democracy is raining
Giant balls of thunder on our homes/souls
America where are you now?
So you've killed one million of us now
You've gone and hung our leader now
And he'll become our sacred cow
So we will blow more buildings down
In that wretched fake and plastic town
that you call America
We watched you helpless march your streets
To try and stop their evil deeds
Your righteous cause they didn't heed
So let us remind you no good deed
Goes unpunished
All your talk of freedom
When I just lost my baby
But your news reports don't mention it
But they sure talk about Britney Spears
The man who should be hung
I think you know the one
Long after he is gone
Your children will remember
America where you were now
Red white and blue
Come to slaughter you
Show us what you got baby
America where are you now
