- Dr. Mansseur is a psychotherapist like any other. One day, he receives a late and unexpected visit from Nora, one of his patients who suffers from a maniac-depressive psychosis. She is completely distressed and insists on seeing the doctor even though her appointment is in one week. In spite of this, Dr. Mansseur accepts to see her. The consultation starts out normally, until the doctor unexpectedly loses consciousness, under the flabbergasted eyes of Nora. When he awakes, he finds himself tied up to his chair by Nora, in his own office, for no apparent reason. Convinced that Dr. Mansseur is hiding a terrible secret, Nora pushes him to his limits and does not hesitate to torture him in order to push him to expose his true self. Things take a strange turn quickly and lead to an explosion of violence. Once she obtains a confession from the doctor and enough evidence to back it, Nora leaves the office, leaving the doctor alone, naked and crying like a baby who had just been smacked.

- 2020–Podcast EpisodeAfter he graduated from the Montreal Film School, Hicham Hajji spent a year working on high profile music videos. He then ventured to Morocco where his filmmaking career began in earnest, working on feature films as a first assistant director. Founding his own production company in 2008 in Morocco, Hicham has since opened a branch in Los Angeles where he now resides. Hicham has worked as a line producer on films such as Werner Herzog's Queen of the Desert (2015) starring Nicole Kidman, James Franco and Robert Pattinson. His directorial debut Redemption Day (2021) had awards bestowed upon it long before its release and was quite the gamble for Hicham, as he staked all of his finance on the movie. The man is nothing if not committed. In this fascinating interview, Hicham and presenter Aiysha Jebali discuss the challenges of shooting on location in North Africa, how Ocean's Eleven (2001) star Andy Garcia came to be involved, and what advice he would give to aspiring filmmakers. Redemption Day (2001) also stars Gary Dourdan (CSI Investigation (2000 - 2015)), Serinda Swan (Inhumans (2017), Ballers (2015 - 2019)), Ernie Hudson of Ghostbusters (1984) fame and Martin Donovan who featured in Christopher Nolan's Tenet (2020).
- While the Arab caliphate never came close to extinguishing its Christian equivalent, its Mulim successor, the Ottoman Turkish empire, would do so twice. Sultan Mehmet's conquest of Constantinopel (renamed Istanbul) in 1453, thanks to superior artillery breaching its legendary walls, reduced the Byzantine empire to a shady mess and the Orthodox countries ripe for the picking. After their gradual conquest of the Balkans, the Ottomans even laid siege to Vienna, but ultimately the Catholic Hansburg empire was saved by a great coalition. In how far these religious wars constitute true jihad is as debatable as the Christian content of the crusades, as profane 'realpolitik' generally proved the decisive factor.
- German Kaiser Wilhelm II considered the Ottoman sultan his natural ally against the British and French, and seemed acceptable as Germany has missed out on colonizing Muslim countries in the East. The Mahdi's revolt in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan showed Muslim risings could tie down British troops within the vast empire. As archeology enabled them to become acquainted with the Middle East and Arab leaders, Th. E. Lawrence 'of Arabia' and Cologne Jewish bankers son Max Oppenheim each tried to recruit the Arabs fro their country's side in World war I, but they chose more money and the -worthless- promise of independence from the Ottomans over a call to jihad from the great sultan.
- The crusades were, although also rooting in socio-economic and other motivations for conquest, mainly Catholic Holy Wars to defend Christianity, especially the threatened orthodox (albeit 'heretic') Byzantine empire, and pilgrims, notably to Jerusalem. Although dealing with tolerant Muslims was usually easier and offered better prospects, religious zeal stirred by such measures as papal appeals and indulgences resulted in full-fledged wars to reconquer the Holy Land. Intolerant Catholic crusader states were established instead of restoring Byzantine rule, all soon to fall prey again to Saracens. This ans successive attempts to reconquer the Holy Land again were bound to yield a heritage of violent hatred between major religions preaching peace.
- As Islam, especially the Sunni main branch, has no regular clerical hierarchy, teachings can easily, radically evolve. Imam Zawahiri elaborated a bloodthirsty vision on jihad as unconditional Holy war on all infidels and heretics, regardless of collateral damage to innocents and Muslim martyrs. Osama Bin-Laden, a Saudi construction tycoon's son, joined it during the mujadedin struggle to chase the Soviets from Afghanistan. Later, he forged Al-Qaeda, a shady terrorist organization which would mainly target US targets and their allies throughout the world, culminating in the 9/11 triple airplane-strike on the US East Coast. Ten years later, it has taken a back-stage to its Afgna Talia allies again, but the unforgiving blood-thirst it started still recalls the unholy crusader age.
