CAN's New European Documentary
Over the summer, Martin Mawyer led
several trips into Europe with his production team to
film the Christian Action Network's upcoming documentary about the
growth of radical Islam.
The untitled documentary will be a comprehensive look into the real dangers facing us from the rise of radical Islam throughout Europe. The film crew spent more than a month in over five European countries including France, Britain, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands.
"Though the work was exhausting, the conclusions that were documented on film will be astonishing to American viewers. This film will put you in the middle of the controversy and separate rumors from facts," says Jason Campbell, the Project Director.
The documentary traces the fall of Christianity in Europe and shows how churches are being abandoned and then converted into mosques. Viewers of the film will have the opportunity to visit the many "No-Go Zones" of France and Britain, and will see interviews with European Muslim leaders where they make shaking comments about their intention to take over Europe and their plans for the West.
Robert Spencer, director of the
"Jihad Watch" website, accompanied Mawyer for several days while in
Europe.
"Spencer brings a wealth of knowledge on the issues facing Europe from radical Islam. He highlighted many of the snares America should be on the look out for and explained how Europe has gotten itself into this situation," Campbell said.
The film shows Spencer courageously entering many mosques throughout London criticized for their extremism such as the Stockwell London Mosque, where he was quickly asked to leave. It was at this mosque that the police learned that young Muslim males, some as young as 15 years old, were being recruited for terrorist training.
While the film already has many exciting and emotional parts, Campbell points to one frightening incident.
In Rotterdam, Netherlands,
Campbell was attacked while filming outside a mosque during Friday
prayers and was then chased almost ten city blocks by angry Muslims
demanding that he hand over the film from his camera. Fortunately,
when the police arrived, the hostile situation was diffused but
remarkably, the police also insisted that the film be deleted.
After tapping some buttons on the camera, he convinced the police
and the Muslim mob that the film was deleted and he and the
equipment were released. Of course, Campbell has the entire event
on camera.
Mawyer and his crew will be returning with Robert Spencer in the early fall to continue filming. Please continue to prayer for their safety as they schedule trips to Italy, Spain, and London.
