Bilal Abdul Kareem traveled to Syria for the first time in 2012 to document resistance fighter’s activities who were fighting against the rule of Bashar Assad. “I had an idea about the Mujaahideen after producing my documentary “Torture Agreement” in post-Qadhafi Libya. There I met many respectable Islamic fighters calling for Islamic Law. I was curious as to what kind of fighter I would find in Syria. So I decided to go and document it”.
Bilal has been documenting foreign fighters in Syria and has produced reports with Channel 4, BBC, Skynews, and the Dutch program Newseur.
“Most people are approaching the Islamic Fighters issue as it was a given that the West and Muslims have to continue firing on one another. I don’t believe that to be the case. Being an American and having spent extensive time documenting the Mujaahideen fighters, I think there is much common ground between them. It would take courageous leadership on both sides to explore the idea of getting to know one another and seeing if there is common ground. I think there is much common ground.
