Watch Not quite the Taliban

A controversial documentary that might offend traditional Muslims, Christians and Jews. Not Quite the Taliban is a documentary in Arabic produced in 2008 which seeks to address a paradox in the adoption by some younger Middle Eastern residents of affluent lifestyles and attitudes that are asserted to be derived from other non-Islamic cultures. Young people in the Middle East frequently embrace some aspects of Western culture yet criticize others, as the film suggests. The film makers explore the topic of why cultural norms allow the importation of certain views but not others. The discussion concerns mature topics.
