Jihad... Struggling with Islam

OMNIJihad... Struggling with Islam chronicles the struggle of one woman to reconcile her Self with the faith she was born into. A faith she has felt no real connection with until September 11, 2001. As the tragedy of that day unfolded, Hina Khan repeatedly thought "Please don't let it be a Muslim, please don't let it be a Muslim." That event led to a rude awakening which forced her to come to terms with what it means to be a Muslim and if this was a religion she wanted to be a part of.

The Toronto-born 34 year-old broadcaster documents her journey as she meets a variety of Muslims from open and inclusive progressives to fundamentalists who celebrated the events of 9/11. This powerful, personal, first-person film was filmed in Toronto, Canada and London, England.

Hina Khan's film is an emotionally gripping, revealing and courageous look at one woman's struggle to understand a faith that she inherited. An informative and unique reflection of our times, Khan takes us on a personal journey that sheds light on the radical sides of Islam brining new understanding to the audience. It is an outstanding effort and a must see!
