Film Description
Since its Islamic Revolution of
1979, Iran has been the undisputed leader of
Islamism, the worldwide movement for Islamic
revival. Islamism seeks to resurrect Muslim
society from 300 years of decline by returning to
its historic formula for success: Islamic law
and government over Muslim lands. Iranian
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has carefully laid
out the Islamist view of the world for several
years. He depicts a morally superior Muslim
society based on Islamic concepts of justice,
equality, and human dignity, while proclaiming
America selfish, corrupt, hypocritical, and
oppressive. Islamist animosity toward America
also focuses on U.S. alliances with autocratic
regimes in the Muslim world like Egypt, Jordan
and Saudi Arabia as well as American support for
Israel, "the illegitimate offspring of the
Great Satan."

In order to achieve
"a new beginning with the Muslim world,"
President Barack Obama has emphasized the"shared hopes and common dreams" of America
and Islam, while expressing regret over past U.S.
treatment of Muslim nations. Meanwhile, Obama is
committed to diplomacy with Iran as the path
toward nuclear compromise and reconciliation.
However, despite having "generations of
Muslims" in his family, does President Obama
really understand Islam's world view? By
tracing the history of Islam's great conquests
and determined struggles against non-believers
since the time of the Prophet Muhammad, Director
Joel Gilbert illustrates that Islam's values
and goals are decidedly different from and mostly
incompatible with Western secular society.
"Marg-bar Amreeka (Death to
America)!" Atomic Jihad leaves little doubt
that Iran is in the final stages of preparing a
Coming War for Islamic Revival.
Meanwhile, by seeking to appease Ahmadinejad with
"change" in U.S. Middle East policy,
President Obama is ushering in the Politics
of Defeat for America. If successful in its
nuclear program, Iran and its allies will finally
possess the means to achieve their ultimate goals
- the defeat of America and the return of Islam
to past glory.
