    Wow, the film makers Heineman and McNally are total pieces of shit. They were warned several times that people would be killed if they didn’t blur their faces. Heineman and McNally said it would be fine, then said no one ever warned them, then said it’s normal to show faces, then said it’s really the governments fault, not theirs.

    Heineman and McNally are responsible for this person’s death, and are too cowardly to admit it.

      Yup that’s how you never ever get future work as all potential victims are gonna be too scared now to come forth for any kind of reveal. They didn’t deserve an award for just manipulating and then outing vulnerable people.

          I’m not Muslim, but I have a couple (well, two) friends who are, and they talk about Jihad like their struggle to be a better person. Like quitting booze or pop.

          I won’t pretend to know all the intricacies, but I know for a fact that it isn’t just about terrorism.

            I wouldn’t call them “jihadists” though. I feel like that implies a pretty high degree of fanaticism.

              I did some searching and I can see that. The Wikipedia page is pretty clear on the distinction between Jihadists and jihad. I wasn’t aware that that the former is so closely associated with violence/aggression/domination

          Yeah, the English phrase would be like “following God’s light”

          Anyone living life by their book can be considered a jihadist, though in Islam it’s reserved for monotheists
