With a baby on the way, Spurlock rationalized the journey as wanting to be able to secure a safer world for his kid: perhaps a noble and fatherly pursuit." If only world safety was really that simple to achieve. I really admire the likes of Morgan Spurlock and Micheal Moore - sure there are gaps in the way they sometimes approach things but there's something very human about them that I like. Have you seen Spurlock's 'Being a Muslim for 30 days' ? I thought that was interesting too. Your description of his enlightenment makes me want to go down to the balad right now and grab a copy. Which reminds me, any store in specific that you recommend? (all my copies turn out to be very poor in quality) :D lol “Spurlock decided to go looking for the most wanted man on the planet: Osama Bin Laden.

I'll link it. Spurlock is a good guy. Even the title of this film is brilliant. This movie wasn't received well in the States, and many critics called Spurlock "egotistical" and "shallow." I think that most people simply don't get him. There something about his style - he fuses sardonic hipsterdom with a belief in some form of human goodness, and it doesn't appeal to cultural gate-keepers. Or hell, maybe I'm the one who doesn't get him. Who knows? ;) Excellent review. I’ll link it.

What I really liked most about it is when he said something like: We were always taught to fear these people, but what I found is people like us who are trying to make ends meet. He also interviewed the average people in the streets, I almost fainted laughing when I saw him wearing dishdasha at Saudi mall. I also did like what the Isareli journalist had t say about Palestinians and Israelis both know how this conflict is gonna play out and in the ends Israel has to given in the land to the Palestinians (west bank & Gaza) but how many people have to die to reach this conclusion?! Great Review. Khaled Salam,

The chapter her wrote about his visit to Jordan is quite interesting, and I loved the very last sentence he wrote in the book!
