Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West
In the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Islamic fundamentalism has, in the minds of many, taken the place once held by communism as the leading threat to the safety and security of the industrialized West. Filmmakers Wayne Kopping and Raphael Shore explore what they regard as the most dangerous force since the rise of Nazism in this documentary.
Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West features footage from Arab television outlets with interviews which are compared with newsreel images of terrorist actions staged by the PLO and other groups in an effort to show parallels between hate-based groups of the past and the current mood among Islamic extremists. Obsession also includes interviews with guerilla fighters, former Hitler Youth members, and terrorist operatives as they discuss the role and function of extremist political and religious groups.

Obsession is a film about the threat of Radical Islam to Western civilization. Using unique footage from Arab television, it reveals an ‘insider’s view’ of the hatred the Radicals are teaching, their incitement of global jihad, and their goal of world domination. The film also traces the parallels between the Nazi movement of World War II, the Radicals of today, and the Western world’s response to both threats. Featuring interviews with Daniel Pipes, Steve Emerson, Alan Dershowitz, a former PLO terrorist, and a former Hitler Youth Commander.
Whether you are aware or not, like it or not, the mainstream middle eastern media carries stories and images which denounce the west and encourage radical behavior on a daily basis. Obsession exposes the agenda of the Islamists and how the middle eastern media encourages their people to hate and kill non-muslims - much of it though lies and disinformation to people whom have little to no outside information or reason to distrust their leaders, people who have been brainwashed since birth to believe only what their religion tells them to believe… or else.
The video exposes Imams, Shieks, Muftis and other Islamic leaders who preach this hate against the west and drive their followers on an agenda of world domination. Commentary is provided by terrorism experts and ex-muslims who are forced to live in hiding for fear of their lives. I highly recommend this video to people who want to learn about what’s going on in the… (Amazon)

I think that Islamic countries may take over the world one day. As Nostradamus explains, “A man wearing a blue turban will take over the world one day.” So as he explains his theories of the future and all the other things he has explained from his predictions have happened. If you don’t believe me go to this website to see what I am trying to explain. http://boisdarc.tamu-commerce.edu/www/w/willmc/nostra.htm Please go to this site and you will see what he is saying when he made this serious predictions and see how they have occured over the years and are still occuring. So how this Islams are saying We will take over [the] USA and we will take over [the] UK. This may happen one day in our lives or in the future of generations.

As if the media wasn’t biased enough and portraits the wrong image about Islam and muslims.
It’s more like the obsession of the west in intervening in the middle east and destabilizing it. Close to ONE MILLION innocent Iraqis have been killed because of the US-led invasion of Iraq.
Stop your war-mongering and start

Digust, you should watch this video before you determine that this video is bashing muslims. and I think you are the only person in the world who would ever say that the middle east is or was stable. In this video they say, many times, that most muslims are peaceful people, there is a very strong enphisis on this point. It clearly states that though the number or Jihad members are not known, it is estimated between 10-15 percent, but many more are anti-american. watch before you claim an opinion, but this was a very good, and powerful documentary.

This film is lacking in its scholarship…severely. The argument that religion is the driving force in motivating international terrorism isn’t taken seriously in ANY real realm of terrorism expertise and for good reason. The extremist version of Islam these ppl are peddling is used as a tool to attract young ppl and to gain public support for their views. Their motivations are geopolitical and sociological. The world of internatinoal terrorism is so pathetically beyond the scope of what these film makers are pushing in this film it is shameful.
The CIA did a long study of the core al Qaeda group who flew planes into buildings 7 yrs ago and found that they weren’t particularly religious at all. They had no issues with sexual frustration either. They had no qualms with American liberties or freedoms either as is often peddled by the ignorant. Their issues are geopolitical and historical. Social and economic. They don’t appreciate the US meddling in Persian/MidEast affairs and redistributing the oil money to dictators only to invade their various nations a few yrs later and leave behind a trail of dead civillians as collateral damage.
will, don’t believe the hype. Go do a search on youtube to hear what the real world experts have to say. Look for Marc Sageman, Peter Bergen, Michael Scheuer, and Lawrence Wright to start with. These 4 guys know as much about the detailed motivations of al Qaeda as anyone on the planet. If you are serious about learning about this very serious issue, start with the experts.
And no, I’m not a muslim or a muslim sympathizer or an anti-American of some sort. I’m an atheist who doesn’t appreciate irrationality creeping into foreign policy, especially given the threat these worthless ideologues are spreading as propaganda. If you really care about the fate of America and her citizens, look at what the facts say and what the experts are saying and study up on some history. I assure you such efforts won’t lend themselves well to the conclusions of this film.
