Somebody at CBC has got guts

I watched part of the documentary IN THE NAME OF GOD: SCENES FROM THE EXTREME Sunday night. I've set my PVR to record it later. It's scenes from Pakistan, Lebanon, Afghanistan and Palestine showing the indoctrination that is inflicted upon the young in these countries.

I don't know what I found more disturbing, children that appear to be 8 or 9 singing the praises of martyrdom and jihad, or the parents that talk of sacrificing their children to Allah for the fight against the "Great Satan" the way we would talk about going to the store for groceries.

Something refreshing about the film is the complete lack of voiceover editorializing that's so common today (I'm looking at YOU Michael Moore!) and the fact that the filmmaker just lets the camera roll...allowing us to make up our own minds about what we're seeing, which is some pretty shocking stuff.

If anyone needs some reminders about what caused 9-11 you'll see it here.
