France Restricts Salafist

Firstly, it is important to understand how the documentary form is best suited to illustrate the film’s theme. In order to do this, one must have an overview of the documentary style of filmmaking. Documentaries concern themselves with the “exploration of

Since the incident of 9/11 occurred, many people have debated over the Muslim faith and its practices. Muslim extremist groups such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS have affected the name of Islam causing majority of Muslims to be blamed. Recently, a tragic event that occurred in Paris killing over a hundred people left the people of France shaken with fear and anger. These events have lead to an increasing amount of hate and tension towards Muslims all over the world from protests at mosques, where Muslims go to pray, and anti-Muslim rally’s. Islamophobia is a massive issue that has steered European counties like France to enforce laws that ban religious garments that Muslims wear such as the niqab and burqa. Some people perceive these garments to be

Within the Middle East, the largest population of the men and women are Muslim. The Muslim religion suggests that the women wear a veil or hijab, which is a headscarf that only exposes a woman’s eyes, accompanied by a burqa which is a full body cloak. The sole purpose of the clothing is to cover a woman’s feminine features from men’s eyes. The Qur’an, an Islamic scripture supports, and slightly obligates the uniform by saying that women are to be conservative, “Let them wear their head covering over their bosoms, and not display their ornaments.” (Qur’an). Muslim women, instead of feeling oppressed, view this as a positive aspect in their lives, influenced by their devotion to Allah. Their acceptance could be influenced by their

Firstly, Bowling for Columbine Moore’s addresses the issue of gun violence in America following a school shooting. On the other hand, Made in Bangladesh by CBC news focuses on the issue of sweatshops and maltreatment of workers in Bangladesh after the collapsing of an uncertified sweatshop. These two documentaries effectively and successfully use persuasive techniques to present a confrontational message on social justice. Also, they position the audience to sympathize with the victims and in turn want to do something about the issue. These techniques include the use careful selection of material, the use of cinematography, music and sound effects, sequencing and editing. Although the two documentaries have different content they equally manage to persuade viewers that the content is meaningful. The impact that the documentaries had on me or other audience members was that of sympathy and outrage about the incidents that fell upon innocent people featured in these documentaries.

By continually representing the Muslim or the Arab as the heartless villain, even cartoon movies contain a biased perspective against the Muslim image in America. All that glitters is not gold, and this is true for films fresh off the reels of Hollywood, as some contain an unfair perspective of Muslims.

We can refer to the documentary “The man who saw too much” as a primary way to seek a better understanding of what this culture has hidden within its scars. The documentary which was Directed

with a segment demonizing the West and Muslims who seek political compromise with the United States, Europe.. and Israel. Closing with an appeal from the late Abdullah Azzam, one of Osama bin Ladin's spiritual mentors, the film calls on Muslims to transcend the illusion of nationalism and join a never-ending holy war. The recruiting video uses the attack as a religious call to transnational terrorism.

Director, Rory O’Conner, in his documentary film 9/11: A Press for the Truth, portrays many facts from the 9/11 terrorist attack. The author has a clear purpose, to expose information about the attack, and defy what majorities of people think, he reveals the undiscovered aspects of the attack; which may have been purposely withheld from the public. He also gives credit and bases his documentary in some unfortunate group of woman called “The Jersey Girls”. He, O’Conner, adopts different tones from different personas, from harsh and severe, to soft, sad and unfortunate tones to appeal to all kinds of audience. The author opens the documentary by impacting images to the audience about the terrorist attack.

As a viewer, the documentary’s intention to inform is more completely fulfilled by research conducted beyond the scope of the camera lens. Had I never written this paper, for instance, the reason for all the violence embedded within the subject matter would remain as enigmatic as the documentary itself.

Hence, there are a lot of movies giving bad images on Arabs and Muslim from the silver screen till status quo, this chapter is launched with analysis and we shed the lights on two movies contains that bad images for the other people released by Hollywood.

This documentary has a voice which is the most important part of any movie, furthermore, it has it own way of living and breathing and speaking to

Censorship became common practice, anti-Semitic legislation was passed, and “the felony of opinion” ruined the rights French people still had to free speech.

With that being said, they come to Mecca as a Sacred pilgrimage, and talks about how many people come, they com year round, and how it sacred territory. The video talks a lot about the Kaaba and the significance of that, how people, come around and worship what it means. Next the video shows many people strong in their faith who give wonderful insights. For example, they show one man who shows us what to wear and how to dress, and that the Hajj is a sign for redemption and continues to say Islam is one of the fast growing religions. It continues and briefly mentions Muhammad throughout the film. The video continues, and eventually shows that charity is a basic principle for the pilgrims, what pilgrims traded, and when it’s time for prayer everything stops. The video then continues and describes the reason for Mina tents, the schedule for the ritual sanctity, and eventually talks about the story of Abraham and Isaac. It continues to show the ritual of stoning, rejecting evil, cutting their hair,

It could be inferred that women wear the burqa and veil willingly because of their geographical location. However, when Muslim women are withdrawn from the Middle East, and are placed
