The Middle East in their own words...
If you haven't heard of it, you may be interested in www.memritv.org
They have video clips and interviews with many religious, academic, and government leaders in the middle east. All with english subtitles. I use it for class, but the topics and viewpoints are fascinating.

I particularly recommend any interview with Iyad Jamal Al-Din He is an Iraqi MP and a very vocal Shia Leader, I believe he is the youngest Imam right now, but I am not positive. Interviews # 1285 and 1351 are interesting and not in the least anti-american. Others are, very much so.
Edit: Feel free to discuss anything off the sight or others like it in this thread.
