Pied Piper of Jihad

This documentary, "The Pied Piper of Jihad," has been shown on al-Jazeera English "People and Power" program. It portrays Yemen as an ultimate destination for Western Muslims looking for Jihad.

The title suggests that those Western Muslims who come to Yemen are brainlessly following the Pied Piper -Anwar Al-Awlaki. Western Muslims I know came here for a simple life in a Muslim country, nothing more, nothing less.

The documentary was made by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and was first screened in Australia.

Notice that the reporter did not speak to any Islamic representatives in Yemen or foriegners here. They only interviewed Yahya Saleh, the Amna Siyasi (Political Security) chief, and nephew of the president. It seems that the programs main aim is to strengthen anti-Muslim fears already existing amongst the west and to make it harder for people to make hijrah to Yemen by labelling all muhajireen to Yemen as fanatics and potential terrorists

You cannot view this program on Al-Jazeera, but you can watch it on the ABC website.
