Jihad violence offends Muslims -- no, wait, scratch that -- Obsession DVD offends Muslims

Reaction to Obsession DVD distribution shows many Americans clueless about jihad, Part 5: "'Radical Islam' video angers South Florida Muslims," by Jaweed Kaleem for the Miami Herald, September 16 (thanks to J.H.):

A controversial DVD distributed to millions of Americans during the past week through direct mail and newspapers, including The Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald, has angered many Muslims in South Florida.

Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West is being packaged as an advertising insert in 70 newspapers, including The Sun Sentinel and The Palm Beach Post....

The DVD includes montages of terrorist training camps and suicide bombers paired with narration by commentators such as Daniel Pipes, founder of the conservative Middle East Forum think tank. Many of the film's pundits are known for controversial views on Islam. In one part of the DVD, clips of Muslim children being recruited as suicide bombers are interspersed with images of Nazis.

Horror of horrors! Recruitment of Muslim children to be suicide bombers is compared to Nazism? When we all know that the recruitment of Muslim children to be suicide bombers is all sweetness and a blow for justice against wicked Zionism!

''My cellphone has been ringing off the hook . . . We feel that it's going to incite more hate and bigotry against our community,'' said Altaf Ali, Florida chapter director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. The DVD does not do enough to differentiate between terrorists and mainstream Muslims, he said....

Neither, of course, does CAIR. CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a jihad terror funding case. It is a spinoff of the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), which is listed in the 1991 Muslim Brotherhood memorandum on strategy in the U.S. as part of its "grand jihad" aimed at "eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within." Several of its officials have been arrested and convicted on terror-related charges, and one of its founders has made Islamic supremacist statements, hoping that one day the Qur'an would be the only law of the land in America. But the Herald, of course, mentions none of this.

Syed Rahman, a Muslim pharmaceutical consultant from Weston, said he was shocked to see the film bundled with his Sunday Miami Herald. ''I could not believe my eyes,'' he said. Nidal Hussain, a Kendall computer consultant, was also taken aback. ''I watched it with my wife . . . it is vulgar material,'' he said. ``I'm sure good, wholesome Americans are going to see it and be able to decipher the truth.''

I'm sure they will.

At least one newspaper, The News & Record of Greensboro, N.C., decided not to distribute the DVD. The publisher ''said it was divisive and plays on people's fears and served no educational purpose,'' editor John Robinson wrote in his blog....

Robinson did not explain what exactly we should do with those jihadist preachers preaching death and destruction in the video.

The lies, deception, double talk and playing the victim card has to come to an end. It is amazing the taquiya and willful disregard by these Muslims about their hand in promoting the hatred and killings ordained by Islam is single handily wiped out by these false reactions and amazement to the accuracy depicted by this dvd. The usual Muslims damage control and flinging away of responsibility of their barbaric faith, to blaming the west and other non Muslims of bigotry, hatred and etc. The bunch of low life cowards.

Of course they are all offended. The truth often hurts. They cannot honestly expect us to be that stupid to think that they DON'T know whats going on! I constantly read about and hear about those Muslims that are "our friends" and "support America". But they do not speak out passionately against the the radical Muslims. And at the end of the day, when push comes to shove, they will support their religion over the good of this country. I am constantly reminded that those "good" Muslims live in fear and do not dare speak out. So.. let me get this straight, it's ok for them to live in fear but WE, as Americans, shouldn't?
If they do not like our "freedom of speech" then they are more than welcome to go back to their countries where "freedom of speech" is not acceptable. I, for one, won't be upset if they leave!

It seems to me that one fundamental belief that has been adopted in the post-modern "West" is that there is no such thing as evil - except for the "evil" of suggesting that something IS actually evil. Instead, it seems that everything is based on the "disease model", absolving individuals from personal responsibility.

This inability to identify true evil has got to be one of our civilization's greatest weaknesses. It results in people being offended by the wrong things - like being exposed to the evil of "radical Islam" - instead of being offended by the actions of "radical Islam".

One thing that has always offended me about "radical Islam" is its similarity to the practices of the worshippers of Moloch as documented in the Bible - raising children specifically for the purpose of sacrificing them to the god. Whether it is by passing them through the fire of an idol or the fire of an explosive-laden belt - it's the same evil.

I have begun praying for wisdom for our leaders, wisdom for my fellow citizens, and for God to cause confusion in the "camp" of the evildoers that plan those acts of violence done in the name of Allah. I hope many others will join me in those prayers.

Good wholesome Americans think Islam is benign and don't know that a majority of Islamic teaching is more violent than the teachings of the KKK. Those evil bastards just wanted a white North America devoid of troublesome "mud people" with non-white blood like me.

Americans and Canadians, when educated about the main schools of Islam (and Muslims too since they don't understand their religion) teach a violent supremacist view of the world will turn to Muslims and ask them to account for themselves. The natural question is "Why should we allow people from your religion into our pluralist society when your religion undermines pluralism?"

As for shocked Muslims learning the truth about Jihadism, my response is that if Christianity was so violent I'd like to know that. If Christian identity politics (White Christian Supremacism) was a problem in my area (which it is sometimes), I want to know about it so I can go to the local clergy meeting and say, "Come on guys and gals, we need to confront these creeps."

Good people confront creeps in their religion, they don't deny it. Muslims who deny this violent are intentionally or unintentionally complicit in Jihadism. Yes, I do think there is a Muslims fifth column in North America. There is ample evidence for this conclusion from looking at CAIR's track record alone.

If Muslims don't confront this problem, God bless the non-Muslims who do confront it. The primary goal is getting video documentation of what supremacist Muslims do and say. Hidden cameras are cheap and you can order them on the internet. Even just getting pictures at rallies undermines the advancement of Islam in Western societies. Consider the infamous placards at that London rally a couple years ago. You know, the behead those who insult Islam. Normal people don't say they will kill their enemies in a civil society. This lack of normality is what must be lifted up regularly until a consensus is formed in the minds of North Americans that Islam must be investigated and critiqued. Truth seeking Muslims need not fear this because if Islam is the truth it will stand the fires of critical inquiry. Christianity suffered through two hundred years (two thousand if you start with the Pagan Celsus's worthy attack on Christian doctrine) of criticism.

If something is true, those who follow it will allow criticism. Only idols and lies must shun criticism.

Yes,
We will be able to decipher the truth form vidoes Like "FITNA and the OBSESSION," and from this great website and others like it. The truth of the horrors of the real islam as it is practiced all over the world, Look at MOST of the global wars or hotspots and who has started the majority of the wars? islam! The opression of women and girls as young as 9 into forced marriages, FGM, honor killings... you've come along way, baby! Right back to the 12th century is where is islam wants to take us. No thanks, I am not getting a ticket for that ride.

So what if they are offeneded by the truth? Let them learn how to live here, ADAPT TO OUR CUSTOMS,
LAWS ways of life. If not get out, and get out now! Sometimes the truth really hurts but that is when you are suppossed to realize there is a problem and it needs to be addressed. Now, more than ever we must raise the standard and stem the tide before the storm surge of islam ruins this great, but not perfect country!

You got it all wrong, you Islamophobes, you!

''My cellphone has been ringing off the hook . . . We feel that it's going to increase the understanding among Infidels of what Islam inculcates that prompts Muslims to participate in violent Jihad, and thereby this movie will lead to more suspicion of Islam and of our community,'' admitted Altaf Ali, Florida chapter director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. 'The DVD does not make the usual distinction, that we always insist be made in order to cloud the comprehension of Infidels, between terrorists and mainstream Muslims, that is between those who themselves participate directly in terrorism as their favored weapon of Jihad, and those who participate only indirectly, preferring themselves such other instruments of Jihad as propaganda, campaigns of Da'wa, deployment of the Money Weapon so helpfully supplied by the Saudis and other rich Arabs, or merely demographic conquest, which requires nothing more than settling deep within Infidel lands, bringing in or agitating for more Muslims to be brought in, and of course having large families in order, over time, to increase the Muslim percentage of the population which, after all, has been a useful weapon of Jihad in the past,' he said...

I wonder if this video could be made available here at JW next to Fitna?

Living here in "cosmopolitan" South Florida, I find this news to be outstanding. It's about time this wave of pluralism/lunacy were abated. After trolling through the comments on the Miami Herald site, I was disappointed that it took 9 pages deep in the comment section for someone to cry out racism and blame Republicans. Usually the cowards who scream racism are the first to stand up.

Well, first to stand up to everything except barbarism.

Where can I download it in a format that I could burn to a DVD?

"The DVD does not do enough to differentiate between terrorists and mainstream Muslims" said Altaf Ali, Florida chapter director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations

OK, I'm game, Mr. Ali. Perhaps you can explain to us the difference. Are you going to tell us that the terrorists misinterpret the Qur'an and Hadith, or take it out of context? If that is your answer, please tell us exactly which verses are misinterpreted and how you think they should be interpreted or placed into context. Inquiring minds want to know.

From The Article:
"At least one newspaper, The News & Record of Greensboro, N.C., decided not to distribute the DVD. The publisher ''said it was divisive and plays on people's fears and served no educational purpose,'' editor John Robinson wrote in his blog...."

I agree that the video will play on peoples fears, it should because Islam is scary. I disagree that the video serves no educational purpose, on the contrary, I believe it to be very educational. It is funny how these liberal editors (I know its an assumption but I would be willing to bet I am correct) will be the first to defend Islam, yet they will the first to lose their freedom, and also the first to be beheaded. I still am looking for my copy of obsession ;)

Where can I get Obsession? I live in NYC.

Infidel#1, you can get a copy of the movie at http://obsessionthemovie.com/ for $14.95.

I posted this before but here it is again, Obsession, and other interesting stuff. This site links to JW...

http://www.jihadhotline.blogspot.com/

Haven't checked now...but it used to be up on you tube.

Brilliant idea, this free CD distribution. Like most Indians, Americans are also apathetic and unaware of Islam's brutal dogma of domination and supremacy. The same needs to be done in India to educate the apathetic Indians and particularly the "useful idiots" in the media and so-called "intelligentia".
Islam needs eradication from this world. Only then we will know peace. Infidels unite!

This is starting to make me angry. I feel so frustrated... why is nobody doing anything against CAIR?! I mean, what should a documentary have for them to see that JIHAD IS A THREAT?! ANOTHER MASS MURDER??!! I remember watching that documentary in youtube before its recent release, and thinking "if only this reached the bigger public!". And when it happens, THIS IS WHAT THEY SAY??!! Incredible...

AHHH! THE TRUTH! IT BURNS US!

Great DVD guys!!!! The truth really hurts and now the moors are going to whine that its biased reporting and will try winning an apology from the producers. Heyy we will take you to court,If that doesn't tickle then they will come to terms with we will blow u up. No one says all the Muslims are violent,but the majority are and it is really difficult to establish who is moderate. A moderate guy if he speaks out will be beheaded stoned. That is the culture they practice, good that it has been shown to people who are ignorant.

The publisher ''said it was divisive and plays on people's fears and served no educational purpose,''

______________________________

Yes, the truth can be 'divisive' at times, but then truth is not always easy to handle.

It would seem that 'facts', as witnessed by countless flawed history text books in America - where opinions are substituted for facts - are viewed as no longer having any "educational purpose."

This publisher, I doubt, would know what to do with, or how to print, a 'fact' if he ever found one.

Oh, and if it makes anybody feel better, my mother - who lives in Florida - called me up yesterday asking about the DVD - she had received it, viewed it, and thought I needed to see it too. So there are people out there who not only don't find it offensive, but 'educational' as well. Although she was aware of most of the material already she said.

You can download Obsession here.

You need a bittorrent client. I like Azureus.

The mass distribution of Obsession is a major breakthrough, though I prefer Islam: What the West Needs to Know.

Still, one has to remember that most Americans are just "not ready" to hear the unvarnished and blunt truth. Therefore, start with showing the first and proceed to the latter. That's what I do -- on a very small scale, of course.

''My cellphone has been ringing off the hook . . . We feel that it's going to incite more hate and bigotry against our community,'' said Altaf Ali, Florida chapter director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. The DVD does not do enough to differentiate between terrorists and mainstream Muslims, he said....
And the Koran doesn't incite hate and bigotry? Give me a break!

Netflix rents it.

Of course they're offended. The truth hurts! And for those Muslims who do not agree with the "extreamists" view, then get off your dead asses and do something about it. Make yourselves vocal...stand up against those who you say are screwing up your religion. Turn in those who you believe might be trying to provoke trouble.

If you don't want to get stuck with guilt by association.....DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone,

My name is Tom Trento and I am directing the Watch Obsession Campaign that is sending millions of copies of Obsession all over America.
It seems that our Watch Obsession Citizens Education Campaign got the blood pressure of a few people going. That's good. That is the plan, to seriously stimulate the debate on the number one issue facing America and the West, the deadly ideology of radical, militant Islam. If anyone needs information, copies of Obsession or wants to help, please go to www.watchobsession.org and sign up. Fight the fight, tat.

Tom -

Thank you for your efforts.

Tom - if you can - wait a month or so then follow up with 'Islam: What the West Needs to Know'. It is sober, scholarly stuff.

I watched it via the link on this site - I now intend to buy the video - it is worth it just to watch people like Mme Bat Yeor and Mr Spencer in person, elegant, charming, sober and civilised, without once raising their voices, calmly describing in devastating detail the onslaught which Political Islam has waged against human civilisation.
