U.S. Muslim advocacy group Tuesday asked the Federal Election Commission to investigate whether a nonprofit group that distributed a controversial DVD about Islam in newspapers nationwide is a "front" for an Israel-based group with a stealth goal of helping Republican presidential candidate John McCain.
The promoters of "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West" denied trying to promote any presidential campaign. They said it's also incorrect to tie the DVD campaign to Jerusalem-based educational group Aish HaTorah International, although current and former employees are involved with the project.
The Council for American-Islamic Relations asked the FEC to investigate the DVD distribution, which targeted about 28 million households mostly in battleground election states.
The DVDs - which critics call anti-Muslim propaganda - were inserted this month into more than 70 newspapers and paid for by the Clarion Fund, a nonprofit founded in 2006. The group's focus is "the most urgent threat of radical Islam." It has declined to identify board members or its funding.
Never picked up for traditional distribution, "Obsession" features scenes of Muslim children being urged to become suicide bombers, 9/11 carnage and interviews with critics of Islam.

Islam is a cancerous lesion on the body of humanity. Left alone to fester it will consume it.
I pray to God I never meet these scumbags face to face.
You mean to tell me that advocacy organizations funded by hostile foreign countries can use the Federal Election Commission to intimidate persons and organizations that are engaged in exercising their right to free speech, guaranteed by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution?
As a matter of fact, the Mrs. and I had “probed” thad DVD ourselves, after we found it in our mailbox the other day.
Warning: Graphic IMages.
Other than that?
The TRUTH about Islam.
The TRUTH about what their filthy book says about “jihad”.
The TRUTH about their associations with Hitler Germany and their mutual blood-hatred of the Jews.
The TRUTH about what their murderous imams preach.
The TRUTH about their intention to eradicate Israel from the map and exterminate all the Jews.
The TRUTH about their declaration of war on Western Civilization.
The TRUTH about their intention to convert, enslave, or kill us all.
Yes.
I hope that ALL Americans will probe this DVD.
All it does is make the links between National Socialists and the early movements political Islamism.....so of course liberals are in a tizzy.
It went out of it's way several times to point out most muslims are peaceful and only a small percentage are radicals (not saying I believe that).
Point is, if CAIR does not like this DVD it's because they're among the radicals.
That video has been around for at least a couple of years so their argument is bogus. That video has nothing to do with John McCain becuase it was originally released long before he won the nomination.
Yup. It has been around for a awhile. Hard to get something that speaks the truth about Islam out.
