Jamie Colby Fox News
"This is the film the enemy doesn't want you to see. Obsession lays bare the true nature of the threat from radical Islam, and the true intentions of those who embrace it: expansion of their heinous ideology by the sword. This film takes an unblinking look at their past, current, and even more frightening, future actions. For your security and the security of the country, Obsession is a must-see. "
Monica Crowley MSNBC Anchor and Host of the Monica Crowley Show, Westwood One Radio
"Chilling... The movie leaves the viewer outraged... A call to action."
Helle Dale The Heritage Foundation
"The threat to our national sovereignty from radical Islam is made clear in this chilling documentary. Obsession is a must-see for anyone who cares about the basic values of our families and our country."
Dr. James Dobson Founder, Focus on the Family back to top
"Obsession is a stunning examination of the threat that faces civilization from Islamo-fascism. It is produced in the tradition of the great documentary, In the Face of Evil, providing scope, historical perspective and an urgency that no other film like has to date. I highly recommend it to anyone who understands the magnitude of the imminent threat - and especially to those who do not."
Joseph Farah Editor of WorldNetDaily
"This movie ought to be shown . in every community center, every school, every church, synagogue and mosque, every living room in America."
Nolan Finley The Detroit News, editorial page
" This is the most concise and powerfully presented piece on the most important issue of our time. "
Foster Friess Founder of Friess Associates and Brandywine Funds
"Viewing this documentary should hereafter be considered a prerequisite for participating in the debate about the national security challenges we face, and what must be done to address them.
The full dimensions of that War for the Free World are laid bare in Obsession from an extraordinary array of sources."
Frank J. Gaffney Jr. Center for Security Policy President, Washington Times columnist, War Footing.com, Renew America, Military.com Full article: www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/...
“Obsession is required viewing for everyone. Especially for people who have tried to understate or ignore the threat of Radical Islam to our national security, Obsession shows how real and present the danger is."
Howard Gordon Executive Producer “24”
"It is a brilliant assemblage of archival footage of radical Islamic barbarities perpetrated across the globe, sermons of radical Imams from 24/7 satellite TV and undercover footage from Lebanon, the Palestine disputed territories, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, London and New York. Obsession is indeed a wake up message to a sleeping American public cowed by fear and menace by radical Islamists in our midst. And yes, the film is distressing that such hate, incitement and barbarity flourishes in the 21st century. But the film rouses the American public into concerted action then it will have served a vital and important purpose."
Jerry Gordon Former U.S. Military Intelligence officer and Middle East Affairs analyst for American Congress for Truth Full article: www.israpundit.com/2006/?p=310
"Image after image, example after example... [Obsession] is shocking beyond belief..."
Sean Hannity Executive Producer of Fox News Channel's Program Hannity & Colmes
"In spite of us being firmly rooted in an age of terror, too many of our countrymen seem to be complacent; complacent, that is, until visited by the next vicious terrorist attack against America. Obsession connects the dots to reveal that these attacks are not isolated incidents executed by a random group of madmen; but the extreme manifestation of an ideology of madness that has tragically captured the hearts and souls of tens of thousands in the Islamic world. In our private screening, one of CORE's members said Obsession is the West's wakeup call. It is not. It's the wakeup call for anyone that believes in civilization and the peaceful advancement of man."
Niger Innis National Spokesman, CORE
"Obsession is a powerful film with a deeply moving and graphic portrayal of the challenges ahead. If you haven't seen it, you should! And if you have seen it, you should insist that others see it as well. Our future may depend on it."
Dr. Herbert London President of the Hudson Institute
"The documentary Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West is a film that every person who isn't a radical Islamic fascist (or who doesn't aspire to live under shari'a law) ought to see. Those who think it's possible to negotiate with terrorists will have their worldview shaken, and those who think they understand the enemy will learn something new about how deeply true hatred can run. I saw the Philadelphia premiere of Obsession with Skye, and we found ourselves gripped by the graphic exposition of radical Islam's nature, history, motives and intentions. The sold out 800-seat auditorium was almost completely silent during the film, except for the occasional disbelieving gasp or saddened murmur. "
Joe Mariani Guardian WatchBlog, American Daily, ChronWatch.com, NewsByUs.com, The Conservative Voice, OpinionsEditorials.com Full article: guardian.blogdrive.com/archive/315.html
" A shocking documentary... Fantastic... "
Mancow's Morning Madhouse Radio, Fresno, CA
"Obsession is a superbly made documentary that should propel every American into action. For those people who don't understand the threat posed by Radical Islam, and especially for those people who do understand the threat – Obsession demonstrates in the clearest possible terms that we must stand up and defend our way of life. Obsession is a landmark film that impacts in a way that speeches, books and editorials are just not breaking through to a nation in denial."
Mary Matalin Former Assistant to the President, Counselor to Vice President & Political Strategist and Commentator
"[Thank you for showing Obsession] . because it really shows what is core behind the basic problems, the roots of the threat of Islamic extremism that we are fighting..."
General Tom McInery Fox Military Analyst, on Fox News, Hannity and Colmes, July 28, 2006

Scott McKay Editor, FamilySecurityMatters.org
"Obsession shocked the audience with its carefully constructed, objective, and fact-based examination of radical Islam today.
Powerful would be an understatement in describing the impact of this film."
Drew Mcweeny AintItCool.com

"Heart wrenching...I encourage everybody to see this film...you definitely get an incredible education by watching this film...the movie left many of us speechless...we appreciate what you've done. "
Kyra Phillips Anchor, CNN Newsroom
" Leaves you speechless. [Obsession] is the single most powerful and terrifying public exposition of the fact that a global Islamic jihad is now being waged from Bali to Istanbul, from Chechnya to Madrid, from Morocco to Manhattan, from Thailand to Bloomsbury - and that the world that is under attack is deeply in denial about what it is facing. "
Melanie Phillips Author and Journalist, the Daily Mail
" A documentary that you need to purchase and invite all of your friends and neighbors over to watch... The power of Obsession is its clarity and balance. "
Patrick Poole FrontPageMagazine.com Columnist
" The root of virtually all evil is lies. If the Germans were not told lies, there would not have been a Holocaust. The Islamic world is today also steeped in lies about the West. And that is the major source of the evils emanating from that world. Now, finally, thanks to Obsession , the West can see and hear those lies. "
Dennis Prager Nationally syndicated radio talk show host, author, Member United States Holocaust Memorial Council
"As a retired Air Force Major General who has lived and traveled through the Middle East and has commanded major combat organizations in key Muslim countries, I believe Obsession is a movie that every American ought to see.

Bentley Rayburn Maj Gen, USAF (Ret)
"[This] excellent movie. outlines in chilling detail the danger which we all face from fanatical Islam."
Dr. Pat Robertson Founder and chairman of the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), Inc.
" [Obsession] should be mandatory viewing, not only for every one in our government at every level, but for the mainstream populace as well. If ever there was a fact-based education vehicle that could unite this country against its current foe, this is it. "
Frank Salvato Managing Editor, New Media Journal
"Obsession tells it like it is---or rather, allows the radical jihadists to tell it like it is without Western media editing. Anyone watching this film can conclude that Islamic terrorism is the main threat of our day..."
Larry Schweikart Professor of History, University of Dayton Author, "America's Victories: Why the U.S. Wins Wars and Will Win the War on Terror"
“Obsession is both scary and riveting! Each and every one of us should feel obligated to show Obsession to as many people as we can. Obsession should serve as a wake-up call to the free world to confront the threat now, before it is too late."
Joel Surnow Executive Producer “24”
"The United States is at war with a virulent form of Islamic fundamentalism. Al Qaeda, Hezbollah and regimes like those in Teheran and Damascus that support them are determined to establish a global Islamic caliphate by the end of this century. Obsession is revealing in its insights into the nature of the enemy and the threat it poses to the West and to Judeo-Christian liberal values. An absolute must see for anyone who values freedom.
Earl H. Tilford Professor of History, Grove City College Former Director of Research, US Army War College Strategic Studies Institute
“Obsession is one of the most riveting films I have seen about the roots of the struggle the civilized world now faces."

First Sergeant Curtis E. Winfree United States Marine Corps
Its worth the 12 minutes of your time
Sorry, but I didn't read much of the article. Is this the one-hour documentary that aired on Fox News recently? That was great. Or is this a longer version for the theater? Thanks.
It sounds like the truth is starting to come out. The headupthehindy denial of the left and the MSM is going to crumble.
I'd like to see a DVD about islam and slavery and castration of black slaves and treatment of blacks and the whole Barbary Pirates history.
"Sorry, but I didn't read much of the article. Is this the one-hour documentary that aired on Fox News recently? That was great. Or is this a longer version for the theater? Thanks."
My answer should have been to you "Both."
The trailer is for the Theater version. Fox News took segments from the movie for their special with E.D. Hill.
Thanks, but will this actually be shown in theaters, or is it only available on DVD?
I remember several months ago that Larry Elder made a movie refuting Michael Moore's Farenheit 911 trash, but as far as I know it was never shown in theaters. So it was probably an excellent film, but it probably had about 1/100th the impact of Moore's propaganda. What a shame.
I hope the same doesn't happen for Obsession. On the plus side, the fact that they have made the 12-minute preview on the web is very important. That will reach far more people than will ever see the movie.
I'm not sure if this movie is still in any theaters. I wonder myself if most Indie movie theaters would promote such a movie that goes against their liberal grain of thought?

When liberals watch this movie they need to take off their rose colored glasses.
So this movie is old news. And I thought it was something new. Shows how out of touch I am, I guess. Well, now it's a young "classic," I suppose.
After Lieberals take off their rose colored glasses, they should remove the fecal matter from inside their heads.
Thats kind of the point. This type of film has a hard time in the mainstream because the left prefers giving a tacit approval to our enemies. Ends justify the means no matter what the cost to protect their own agenda.
LOL Thats like getting rust stains out of a toilet bowl.
One of the scariest movies that I’ve ever seen.
To be honest, I’ve been tired of being politically incorrect for way too long.
