"Obsession" is one of the most powerful, expertly crafted and undeniably important films I've seen this year. This courageous, utterly gripping expose' deserves the attention of every American -- and merits serious consideration for the Academy Award for Best Feature Length Documentary."

-- Michael Medved Nationally Syndicated Radio Host Film Critic, "Eye on Entertainment"

I believe that if you donate $100 to the outfit that distributes this movie, you get a DVD of it. Too bad this movie isn't as widely distributed as Fahrenheit 911. The American people need to know about the threat of radical Islam. But Medved can't possibly think that the academy will even consider nominating this film. Maybe if it showed 'neocons' obsessed with a "phantom" Muslim threat it would.

No doubt it'll be well-received at Cannes.

I haven't seen this movie yet, but I have every intention to. It sounds like the kind of documentary that reveals truths that the "mainstream media" refuses to report.

Muslims need to relax a bit.

I don't think that Muslims have ever been known for their easy-going demeanor towards others.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll be watching for it and also spread the word.

I don't recall ever reading about this...

1977
March 9

A dozen Hanafi Muslim terrorists seize 134 hostages in three buildings only blocks from the White House. One man is killed and 12 are wounded in the takeover of the Islamic Center, the international headquarters of B'nai Brith, and the District building, Washington 's city hall. They surrender two days later after negotiations with ambassadors of Egypt , Iran , and Pakistan .

If I'm not mistaken, this was caused from anger from the motion picture "Mohammad, Messenger of God." They were outraged because the Koran banishes images of the prophet from being displayed, and modern Muslims claim this extends to having an actor portray him.

It was all much ado about nothing, as Muhammad was never shown in the film and, by all accounts, the film was thoroughly dull.

How come we haven't heard of it? Is there a need for a campaign to raise funds to get it into theatres?

[Clintonfatigued]

At the very least, there is a need to raise awareness of it to the American public.

If this does not come to a theater near me (which I'm sure it will not), I will buy the DVD.

Animotion - Obsession.mp3 (Extended Version). Run it through Sound Forge and make the bass pulse so your walls shake around you and pictures fall off and neighbors stare at your place from the street in underwear. Walk out carrying an adult beverage and say "Hi!". I used to own Altec-Lansing speakers that are the size of refrigerators. REALLY LOUD! Terrorists and smaller vermin must run down the street for cover. I have met my neighbors and agreed not to do this again.

I believe it gets released in the Summer of this year. Maybe there are small communities where conservatives can get it screened.

[Paleo Conservative]

I couldn't find anything on the website about where to see the movie or buy the DVD.

[Clintonfatigued]

I don't think it's been released yet.

It was a very bad movie, because not only was Mohammed not SHOWN, he was not even HEARD. You have the actors, who include Anthony Quinn, looking at the camera and repeating what the characters (but not we) have heard. The irony is that Mohammed, whom Muslims admit was JUST a man, is treated as though he were an angel or an apparition.
