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.

    Eric, THANK YOU for your passion... this world needs an education, and we'll likely not get it without voices like yours working tirelessly in the service of humanity and truth. I am so proud to call you a friend, if only on FB ;-)

    I am so glad that you have chosen a message that includes "feeding the right wolf," so to speak, for the alternative is to create equal amounts of outrage on both sides, and then no one can "win," truly... your message NEEDS to be heard, and I anxiously await the release of your full-length feature film, along with many of my like-minded friends. Thanks again for all that you do, and may the deity/force of your understanding inspire and protect you as you pursue this important work.

    Wow. I love the message and it's very eye opening. Hopefully more films like this can help satiate the compassionate wolf in everyone.

    Really looking forward to the full version - nice one.

    I had a good laugh at the 'Are you against the Jows' line... haha

    This film is really inspirational and wish you the best of luck and my prayers that you make it a feature film. Spreading this will show Muslims that there is a peaceful side of the west. There was one documentary similar to this one that was on CNN two month ago called unwelcome or something like that.

    Great job on putting all this together, Eric. Having my roots in TN really makes this story personal to me. I don't want to see the good people in our communities fall prey to the hate that seems to be running rampant, not only in our country but, also, so close to home. Very inspiration work! Looking forward to seeing the full documentary.

    This document is exceptional. Our group of Christians, We Hold These Truths, just held a vigil in front of Cornerstone Church near Nashville that hosted an anti-Muslim, hate fest, to challenge their un-Christ-like behavior... just like what was well documented in Eric's video. To better understand why these people, including the likes of Pat Robertson and John Hagee, act the way they do, check out our video on Christian Zionism at: vimeo.com/29901084
