Dear Mr. ???

 

I am writing to you today with this proposal to seek you cooperation in implementing this important and timely proposal.

 

As you know, the frequent horrible terrorism acts against the American forces in Iraq has proven more and more that the American foreign policy makers have proven to know a lot about the Iraqi oil, but almost nothing about the Iraqi people. The problem of Iraq, is no different that the rest of the Arab and Muslim world. It is a problem of conflict of ideas, not military interaction.

 

The war in Iraq is a war of ideas, which is unique in its strategy and tactics. In the pursuit of fighting terrorism, it should be clear that it is a long term tedious commitment; the fanatics Muslims have been and actually still are waging this war of ideas in Arabic language against the U.S, and the Jews. They are also doing their best in brainwashing the majority of the Muslims around the world. Their influence reaches the Muslim communities in the West and in America. It is not hard to them to create the American Taliban in few decades if America still fighting the war of ideas by it military forces.

 

But it is also worth it to fight this war in a way that saves billions of money and thousands of lives. It is not hard to have the silent Muslim majority on our side if we can reach them. It is not hard to convince some of the fanatics by using the fanatic tradition against them. It is not hard to convince the Arabic majority that their real enemy is not Israel or America but the fanatic terrorists and the dictators. It is not hard to defeat all the fanatic Muslims in this soft war; war of ideas.

 

We can defeat them by (Hollywood). By drama and movies we can win the victory and the money as well. It is a fruitful profitable business and patriotism in the same time. It has the vast market in Muslim World (one Billion and half billion) beside the none Muslims who are eager to know the other side of the Muslim life and Muslim traditions and heritage and history.

 

It has the new ideas for the new field of drama. The Quranist Muslim scholars have written more than 22 scenarios, ready to be produced, beside many new ideas for this new field of drama. The Quranists can enrich this new field for two decades at least. This field of drama will cover the Muslim history (14 centuries), the current social and political life of Muslim World in Arabic and Muslim countries and the Muslim communities in America and the West, beside the sacred secret side of the fanatic Muslim extremists.

 

Drama has the most effective impact on Arab and Muslim viewers. All kinds of drama – social, political, and even thrillers – can easily serve our cause, either in the main plot, or in deliberate comments said by the characters. Historical drama teems with thousands of issues which a writer can use to highlight virtuous values and raise the awareness of viewers. In all kinds of drama, different themes can be incorporated in natural conversations that are both congruous with the context, and void of direct preaching. 

 

It is not difficult to have Arabic actors and actress. It is not difficult to produce this drama in Arabic then have it subtitled in English and other languages. This drama will reach out all the Muslims in the entire World. It will undeceive the silent majority of Muslims. Only intellectual Muslims have access to internet and read books and newspapers. Most of Muslims get their education and knowledge from T.V channels and its drama which 90% of them are owned and controlled by Wahabists and dictators.  “Hollywood” could change this situation for the favor of America and the civilized world.

 

Once “Hollywood “raised any Islamic issue in one of its drama, it will be a large debate about it in the entire Muslim World. This debate will expose the fanatics making them lose. This debate also will give the movies success and profits.

 

The IQC (The International Quranic Center) which represents ten thousands of the free minded Muslim scholars is looking for any American figure or American company in this field of drama to work together in producing a new drama in the Islamic and Muslim fields.

 

The Quranists have the knowledge, and the stories and the scenarios. They need the American partners who have the other elements.

 

Thank you.
