Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West

My wife and I received a copy of “Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West” an obvious political propaganda stunt targeted at voters in swing states. Its obvious from the label that this supposed non-partisan 501(c)3 non-profit group is trying to sway voters by scaring them. It is really sad how this DVD portrays all Muslims as full of hate for the west. I fear that if even one person took this DVD serious it could lead to something bad happening to our fellow Muslim-Americans.

We received this DVD direct mail to my wife, its easy to tell from the label that they pulled her name from the voter rolls. I did some googling and went to this organizations website. It amazes me how secretive this group is. There is almost no information on who runs this organization, who funds them or any other details that make this group look even more shady.  I dug around further and found a few more links. Check out the links below about some of the people behind this film, political intentions and speculation.
