There are some embarrassingly mean-spirited reviews of this film here. I found these guys believable, and the film one of those most touching things I've seen in a while. I suspect the bad reviews are from people who have a religious agenda of their own and share the very emotional poverty that Deeyah attributed to these guys as young, foolish Jihadis. You hit the nail on the head, Deeyah. It's a thing that knows no boundaries, infecting religions, cultures and belief systems of every sort, and there will always be people whose hearts are so full of hatred, and, indeed, self-loathing, that they will twist anything into a channel to express that hatred. Sad as I am for their victims, I find it heartening to see how people can be pulled back from the brink, rescued from the darkness that once enveloped them, and I'm glad to see they found the answer in their own religion. We can all learn something from this insightful piece
