For those interested in the Muslim/anti-Muslim debates going on on this board and elsewhere, you might be interested in viewing this movie I found on Google video.

Obsession: What the War on Terror is Really About

The movie is 1hr and 17min long

I'm only at 15 min, and that's by watching 4-5 min at a time... but yes, looks to be a very interesting and worthwhile watch so far, thanks for posting the link.

On the one hand, it's definitely got some disturbing elements, especially the little kids reciting poems about their dreams to become suicide bombers. It's educational to see the source material first-hand, however cherry-picked it may be. On the other, it was more than a little disingenuous to start with a little disclaimer about how the radical Islamists represent only a fraction of the Muslim population, and then pound into the viewer's head "Muslims hate America/Israel and want to kill them" for the next hour and fifteen minutes, followed by a token 30 seconds of "...except for moderate Muslims. We love moderate Muslims *hugs*." Also, they kept saying, "We need to do something about it," without ever saying what that "something" was. I was really feeling the "dot dot dot" after that sentence. What exactly are the filmmakers or interviewees proposing that we the viewers do, other than be aware?

Good post.
I finished it last night, and was left with similarly conflicted feelings after watching it. I hope more people here will watch it and comment. I'd like to read some reviews of it, it'd be great to hear what Al Jazeera, for example, has to say about it.

And even though it was cherry picked, I found the feeds from Arab and Iranian tv sources very interesting. Couldn't help but notice the Nasrallah and Lebanese clips, given the present situation...

I personnaly believe this movie should be aired on Canadian television. Its about time the apthetic country of ours wakes the *beep* up.


I am a right winger mainly because I was born and raised in a communist country. I've seen the extreme utopias people have thought off. I personaly will take a bad day in democratic system then a wonderful day in communist/islamic/fascist system.

I also am firm believer that all religions are inherintly evil because we the human race invented them. I truly believe that we are an inherintly an evil race.

I support the US they did the right thing in afghanistan but not sure about iraq because Saddam was so efficient and snuffing out *******. They should have been allies if anything.

The movie was excelent now that we know what the root of the cause is we need to treat it. Problem is that you just can't tell any one apart in the ME. I think the west has to stop *beep* footing around the issue say *** the media, don't let them come in forbid soldiers from taking any kind of pictures and do the deed.

Islam is a cancer, and how do we treat cancer? Massive amounts of radition and chemo.

Mod edit: Please watch the language!
