"No other movement
or ideology today is so attractive for young
people as Islam", caims 21year old Barino.
Since 5 years he is visiting an Arab mosque
in Cologne.
He was drawn to Islamic faith by
the welcoming people and the search of spirituality
he was lacking in his German environment. Since
then he is studying closely the Qur’an
sura by sura.
“Who ever changes just one verse, one
word or letter of Qur’an automatically
is no more Moslem.” Explains Khaled, a
young German of Moroccan origin, during his sermon
in the mosque, Barino is visiting.
Khaled represents a new generation of devoted
Moslems in the western world who desire to live
strictly the way Mohammed did.
The film deals with
a young Islamic movement in the western world.
Young people who believe
in the Qur’an and – different to
their father’s generation study it closely.
During his studies
Barino discovers the call for “Holy war”, the call to fight
against
and possibly kill the disbelievers, the
Jews and Christians. He feels, that as a good
Muslim he would have to follow these controversial
verses of Qur’an too.
Khaled however points
out, that the verses on fighting are only valid
during times of war. “But
we’re not in a war. Thank God!” |
