"My Trip to Al-Qaeda"

Very interesting film detailing Pulitzer Prize winner Lawrence Wright's experiences with extremist Islamic culture. The man has an interesting perspective, having been a reporter in the Arabic world for many years.

One of the more memorable lines I thought is when he is talking about the enviroment that produces extremists, specicially Saudi Arabia, and how it always involves repressing Women. Young men grow up without any real social interaction with non family members of the opposite sex. Anyways he goes on to say how this enviroment is required because "Afterall, it's hard to be a terrorist if your girlfriend won't let you.".

Worth the watch.
