When “Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West,” a documentary that shows Muslims urging attacks on the United States and Europe, was screened recently at the University of California, Los Angeles, it drew an audience of more than 300 — and also dozens of protesters.

The documentary has become the latest flashpoint in the bitter campus debate over the Middle East, not just because of its clips from Arab television rarely shown in the West, including scenes of suicide bombers being recruited and inducted, but also because of its pro-Israel distribution network.

“The movie was so well crafted and emotion manipulating that I felt myself thinking poorly of some aspects of Islam,” said Adam Osman, president of Stony Brook’s Muslim Students’ Association, who asked that it not be shown.

I show this film, at least the 15 minute version---and sometimes the long version---to all my university classes.

We should follow the self protective scheme of the Saudi Arabians....

Perhaps America should be declared the holiest of Christian Sanctuaries -- barring all those whose stated purpose is the extermination or enslavement of Christians.

Islam has those STATED objectives..

Why not simpy ban Muslims from America....
Freedom of religion does not require we commit suicide or aid those wishing our extermination...
