The state of Tennessee is not just in the Bible Belt, it is the shiny gold buckle of the Bible Belt. "Not Welcome" chronicles the backlash against construction of a new Islamic center in Murfreesboro TN - a small Southern town with nearly 200 churches, where one mosque is one mosque too many. Rapture ready Evangelicals parade down Main Street carrying signs of fear and hate, a group sues to stop construction, arson, vandalism and explosive town meetings capture this tiny bedroom community outside of Nashville, TN - a town that has become a battlefront in the culture war in America. An up close look at this recent wave of American Islamophobia and that part of the human psyche that allows religious superstition to divide a people.

Impressive. Great message. Namaste.
People often don't welcome what is different to them. For most people it's because of ignorance, for the evangelicals, it's because they are taught to hate others that are not like them from day one, be it Catholics, Moslems or who ever, every one is going to hell, except for them. I know, I used to go to their churches till I woke up. In Montreal where I am from there are many immigrant Moslems and they sponsor an Arabic Culture Week where they invite the public to partake in various activities included buffets at mosques, which is a very good thing. Very good documentary and well done!
Powerful documentary! I applaud you for opening up the eyes (or at least trying to) of those who are still sleeping. You are a gift to this world..... Namaste'
Wow - great documentary - thank you for creating and sharing this. my heart aches seeing/understanding how religion can be so dividing, especially when loving one other, creating peace, removing suffering are often the basic fundamental values of many religions. I loved seeing the muslim community opening their doors and offering an interfaith educational evening. When we take time to understand all people, all diversities, we all want the same thing - reduce suffering and create peace wellbeing and happiness.

It's the end of the world as we know it, fortunately. Creation and destruction are the same thing, but appear different depending on where you are standing. All of my talk about OCCUPY simply stems for a concern about suffering imposed on others.…Continue

If you consider yourself to be on any kind of spiritual path, you very likely have had a tendency to be too hard on yourself. You try not to think negative thoughts, to avoid judging others, to avoid "sin". One definition of the word "sin" is…Continue
