Obsession: The Threat of Radical Islam: Through the eyes of radical Islam, American culture is immoral and evil. Why do they hate us, what are they planning, and can they be stopped?

[Molly Pitcher]

Catch this Fox News special about the movie 'Obsession' detailing Radical Islam's worldwide terror threat.

[SkyPilot]

The best movie about the threat of Islam ever made.

[Txsleuth]

Thank you so much for posting this...I mentioned it on a thread today...but didn't know the time.

I think they are showing it at 4:00 on Sunday also.

[Molly Pitcher]

Yes, and the program will be repeated thru the early a.m. hours Sunday, and later that day also.

[Txsleuth]

PING

[firebrand]

[Molly Pitcher]

FYI for important pre-election program!

Obsession: The Threat of Radical Islam

The title is misleading. It implies terrorism against thos who are not muslim is perpetrated by a minority of muslims when in fact it is a precept of Islam to either convert, subjugate or kill anyone who is not muslim.

Here's the complete re-play schedule:

"Obsession: The Threat of Radical Islam" — Sat., 8pm / 1am ET, Sun. 4pm / 10pm ET

[Tim Long]

"Radical"?

[Molly Pitcher]

You may have a point, but I think the significance is that the documentary was made at all, and thank goodness Fox is giving it some play...

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Sat., November 4 at 8 p.m. ET

[firebrand]

The Fox story says 5 a.m. Sunday morning too. That's in the e-mail I got also.

[RasterMaster]

[Texas Eagle]

Thanks for the heads up. I just programmed my DVR.

[Edit35]

AND VOTE REPUBLICAN,...even if you have to hold your nose!)

I dont get all this 'hold your nose' stuff.

My congresscritters (up for re-election) are Sen. Rick Santorum and Rep. Michael Fitzpatrick, two of the most excellent intellectual conservatives you could ever meet.

I think there was maybe one issue maybe two with which I disagreed how Fitzpatrick voted.

And as for Santorum, the only thing I can recall is that he maybe campaigned too hard for Spector, a dispicable GOP Senator if there ever was one.

[M Kehoe]

Good evening, and thanks for the ping Molly.

5.56mm

[kayak]

Thanks for the head's up, Molly!

Will this be the entire movie...or bits and pieces?

FOX News rearranging weekend line-up to air terror film, scare jaded voters to polls

Reported by Chrish - November 2, 2006 - 147 comments

FOX News Channel has announced that it will air "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West,"

"(a) frightening new documentary by filmmaker Wayne Kopping ....

What he found, is something FOX News believes every American should know."

The film, which is actually a year old, will be shown four (4) times this weekend to help Republicans scare their base to the polls. Along with plenty of footage accusing Democrats of not getting it (an O'Reilly favorite) and Dick Morris' sickening new anti-Democrat smear commercial, FOX is pulling out all the stops to support their party.

Another article at FOXNews.com says that

"We often hear that 9/11 was a wake-up call for Americans. But have Americans really woken up to the truth of how much radical Islamists want us dead, and the lengths to which they are willing to go to fulfill their mission?

According to a shocking new (sic) documentary called “Obsession,” the free world is still unprepared to face the unwavering commitment of those who have pledged their lives to our destruction. The film states that we suffer not so much from complacency, but from the naïve disbelief that we remain targets of thousands, perhaps millions of radical Muslims around the world."

In other words, we're not scared enough (yet) to turn over ALL our rights to the executive branch. Maybe this'll do it - it's worth a shot, right?

From Libertas, "a forum for conservative thought on film":

"We’ve just received word that this weekend Fox News will be presenting a 40 minute version of the film Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West that had its World Premiere at the 2005 Liberty Film Festival.

Obsession was the Best Feature Film winner from last year’s festival, and will be playing on Fox News Saturday Nov. 4th at 8pm/1am/5am, and Sunday Nov. 5th at 10pm.

We’re told these will be Fox News special TV broadcasts, i.e., they redid their lineups to make this happen, and that they will be advertising the show on TV commercials in advance. Following the film will be an interview with director Wayne Kopping."

We’re extremely proud to have done the World Premiere of Obsession, and we’re thrilled that Fox News will be re-arranging its line-up - right at the height of election season - to air this important film. The purpose of The Liberty Film Festival is to discover such films and bring them to the public.

Clearly this is intended to reach the voters who still think that the Bush administration can keep us safer than Democrats and who conflate the war in Iraq with the so-called war on terror. This blatant electioneering by a so-called news channel erases for once and for all any pretense that FOX is fair or balanced - it is right-wing propaganda and nothing more.

Let FOX know what you think of their blatant Republican campaigning at:

Thanks to g-mailer Matt for the heads-up.
