The Third Jihad explores the existence of radical Islam in America and the emerging risk
that this “homegrown jihad” poses to national security, western liberties and the “American
way of life.”The film, which is narrated by devout Muslim American Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser,
opens with the following statement: “This is not a film about Islam. It is about the threat of
radical Islam. Only a small percentage of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims are radical. This
film is about them.” The film reveals that radical Islamists driven by a religiously motivated
rejection of western values are engaging in a multifaceted strategy to overcome the
western world. In contrast to the use of “violent jihad” and terror to instill fear in “nonbelievers,”
The Third Jihad introduces the concept of “cultural jihad” as a means to
infiltrate and undermine our society from within.
