Quote:
This week, 28 million copies of a right-wing, terror propaganda DVD are being mailed and bundled in newspaper deliveries to voters in swing states. The 60-minute DVDs, titled Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West, are landing on doorsteps in a campaign coinciding with the 7th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. Funding is coming from a New York-based group called the Clarion Fund, a shadowy outfit whose financial backers are unclear.

The propaganda machine rolls on. The question is, who funded the free distribution of 28 million DVDs?

It's a good movie. Factual, hard hitting yet balanced. You should watch it. The distribution is paid for by The Clarion Fund. Has muslims pissed off from coast to coast (not about the truth of the content, but that kuffar and being told the truth of their obedient pals)

No, not a 'terror propaganda DVD' but a hardhitting look at radical Islamic terrorism and its roots in Islamic scripture.

If both mises and bigverne endorse Obsession, then I know it's a fair and balanced video.

I believe the first sentence of the movie discusses how we're talking about 15-20% of the muslim population. The film states again and again the 'tiny minority' platitude. It is fair, and it is important.

Aw, Burn. Damn.

11,873 acts of terrorism since 9/11. The tolerance, apologizing and contextualizing should be kicking in any day now and pacifying the lot. Either that, or I'm on to something. Eh?

Anyways, the film is available from this site:

The only people that this could possibly p.o.ed are either muslims who don't want the truth to get out or democrats in the US who fear that issue being used against O'bama.

I'm not fully certain that terrorist attacks in Mauritania and Somalia will have an impact on my mom living in the wilds of Iowa--or will have much impact on her decision who to vote for president of the US. She's 84 but not a fool.

And it won't. But what it will do is remind people of what the west is facing. It's pretty powerful stuff. The only error that was made is that wasn't given out BEFORE 9/11/08.
And here is another: Dagestan, CIS 9/17/08-- Three police officers killed by "islamic terrorist".

I watched it when it came out. I must admit it was interesting. I don't agree on it being balanced though.

I realize the Clarion Fund paid for it, but, who are the contributors to the Clarion Fund?
