Have you considered putting out a feature length movie detailing Iran’s record? (Surely, the Hollywood Left doesn’t monopolize the movie business, does it?) If Michael Moore and Albert Gore could use feature length advocacy movies effectively, why couldn’t you or those of like mind?

When you analyze clerical fascism, have you ever noticed how the heroic archetype of Zelea Codreanu has been copied (perhaps unconsciously) by Osama bin Laden? Or the eerie similarity between the title of Führer and “Supreme Leader”?

I think the most effective argument against Islamofascism is not necessarily how evil it is, but how derivative it is of a failed ideology. Once it is shown how modern Islamofascism is merely warmed over Axis propaganda adapted to a Muslim context, it becomes easier not merely to mobilize against it but also to undermine its ideological credibility within Islam.

ML:

There are at least two such movies in the works, not to worry. One a real movie, the other a documentary.
