Who's Afraid of 'Obsession'?

Who's Afraid of 'Obsession'?

17 October 2008 | 15:44 | FOCUS News Agency

Los Angeles. The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) - an organization identified as a California-based Muslim Brotherhood front - convened a press conference today in Los Angeles with a senior representative of local law enforcement and members of other faiths, FrontPageMagazine.com reports. The stated purpose is to unveil a new “united front” initiative called the “Coalition for Renewing American Democracy” which MPAC has apparently conjured up in order to inveigh against “Obsession,” a documentary film that powerfully, and authoritatively, dissects radical Islam’s war against the West. Shortly after its 2005 premiere, the film won awards at three top international film festivals.

The problem for the Muslim Brotherhood is that millions of copies of “Obsession” have been distributed around the United States in recent weeks in national magazines, to several hundred college campuses, at both political conventions, and in local newspapers. As a result, many millions of Americans have had an opportunity to be educated about the ambitions of those who adhere to the Islamic political and legal system known as “Shariah” - namely, the realization through “jihad” of a world-wide and brutally repressive Islamic theocracy.

“Obsession” utilizes actual footage of radical Islamist rallies and calls to violent jihad against America, along with interviews of Muslim and non-Muslim experts on radical Islamism. It captures unabashed exhortations to violence and murder aimed at Americans, Jews and other Westerners that are shocking in their savagery, even to those familiar with the nature of contemporary Islamofascism; they tend to leave an even more lasting impression on those that are not.

"...dissects radical Islam’s war against the West."

It's about time that someone "dissected" it.

Jihadist terrorists, financiers, backers, enablers and those who arm them.

We should be concerned. Where is Brack Hussein getting his campaign contributions from? Take a guess. Obama is a islamist and will come out of the closet when the time is right.

We need to be concered as America is being attacked from the enemy within the borders. The Democrats are to blind to even see it coming.

” Amazingly enough, They [the pro violence, enablers, etc.] are all under the banner of “peace”. “

Not so amazing when you recall that the Trojan Horse did not arrive on fire and bristling with weapons at the gates of Troy.

Better get a copy now before it becomes a "hate crime" to merely own one.

But but but but, they're just speaking truth* to power!

Above is a link to CNN which ran a story on it, with not one person interviewed showed support or found it offensive. Video shows CAIR’s investigation into possible IRS laws being broken, etc.

It’s amazing how the left is completely intolerant of viewpoints and information being shared outside of their own.

I got my 60 minute free version in the mail not too long and watched it. It is chilling. Is the 60 minute version the one you guys are talking about? Is the full version available for free too? Just curious.

Oh well, not surprising that the “moderate” Islamofascism [CAIR] blames the zionists.

:) We can’t hold our breath and have the media expose this. Hopefully the word is getting out. Our freedoms will be gone soon if the likes of CAIR are not exposed.

P.S. Did you see this from the other day on FR? It’s related.

I’m not sure if that is the complte video or not. I’ve been hearing about the video for a while now though, but, I haven’t seen it yet. Nor did I get a copy in my paper, oh well. Hopefully, I’ll check it out soon.

“Amazingly enough, They [the pro violence, enablers, etc.] are all under the banner of “peace”.”

That’s because their idea of “peace” is detached from reality. Their “peace” means everyone around the world under sharia law.
