The War Within



A must see movie for anyone desiring to better understand the truth behind why any extremist does what he does. This movie has great cinematography and a compelling story line written and produced by the main actor.

"The life you live is born by our brothers and sisters throughout the world. Your government takes actions of which its people are unaware. But ignorance is not innocence," says the protagonist to the Pakistani family he temporarily lives with while working out his mission in the United States.

In the midst of a social gathering, the topic of American and Pakistani politics arise. Two men start arguing about whether or not America is a good place to live. The main character silences them, "Back home our blood has not yet turned to water. Poverty is real. Dying is real. Not some discussion to be had at dinner."

The whole movie is based around the struggle this man has to re-enter "normal" life. He never feels peace about his conflicting desires.

He quotes the Koran:

Prescribed for you is fighting though it be hateful for you yet it may happen that you hate the thing which is better for you and it may happen that you will love the thing which is worse for you. Allah knows and you know not.
