The film premiered at the American Film Renaissance Festival in Hollywood on January 15, 2006, and had a limited theatrical release in Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Atlanta in summer 2006.

Critical reception

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]
