While some reviewers have had a positive reception to the film,^[1] others have criticised the film as being inaccurate, simplistic, biased and propagandist against Islam.^[2][3][4] The Chicago Tribune's reviewer, Michael Phillips, describes it as a "deadly dull anti-Islam propaganda piece".^[4] The Washington City Paper's reviewer, Louis Bayard, argues that "If [the directors] Davis and Daly had a little imagination, they might see that the devil they’re chasing isn't Islam but fundamentalism, which assumes many forms."^[5] The film has been described as an "anti-Muslim documentary" in the context of the counter-jihad movement.^[6]
