Critical reception


While some reviewers have had a positive reception to the film,[1] others have criticised the film as being inaccurate, simplistic, biased and propagandist against Islam.[2][3][4] The Chicago Tribune's reviewer, Michael Phillips, describes it as a "deadly dull anti-Islam propaganda piece".[4] The Washington City Paper's reviewer, Louis Bayard, argues that "If [the directors] Davis and Daly had a little imagination, they might see that the devil they’re chasing isn't Islam but fundamentalism, which assumes many forms."[5]
