| Zionist circles linked to Islam-bashing DVDs targeting voters in key US states |
| 2008-09-22 |
| Millions of voters in US states crucial to this fall's presidential election received DVD copies of a controversial documentary film as advertising inserts in their morning newspapers last week, with more sent out over the weekend. The 2006 film, "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West," which has been accused by critics of encouraging Islamophobia, was reportedly delivered, or slated for delivery this weekend, into tens of millions of households in states such as Ohio, Michigan, Florida, Colorado, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Missouri and other "swing states" that don't vote consistently for either party and usually decide elections. Republicans and their candidate, Senator John McCain, have made battling the threat posed by radical Islamists a central platform of their campaign, while presenting their Democratic rival, Senator Barack Obama, as being weak on the issue. Obama has also fought off persistent smear campaigns, particularly aimed at Jewish voters, that he is a "closet Muslim." Gregory Ross, the spokesman for the Clarion group, which produced and is distributing the DVD, told the Harrisburg Patriot-News that the movie was being delivered to 28 million homes throughout the month of September and that the intention was not to sway voters to either candidate. |

| #6 Gentlemen, you're correct about my confusion. Clearly it was the -ssion ending that had me confused, along with the closeness of the Dutch and German languages. (And skipping my morning nap. I don't think at all well without the extra sleep.) Thank you very much. |

| #5 Is this the film for which the Dutch radioman Goethe was murdered? Nope, as MHW, I trhink you're refering to Theo Van gogh, and it was submission. This one is Obsession, and dwells for a part on the nazi-islam nexus. |

| #4 TW Theo Van Gogh was the Dutch co producer of "Submission" and was murdered. The other co producer being Ayaan Hirsi Ali. This was in 2004. It emphasizes the violence against women that is inspired by Islam. In 2008, the movie Fitna was produced by Dutch elected official Geert Wilders. It shows how specific verses in the Koran inspire specific forms of violence. Obsession is a 2006 film in documentary style with lots of interviews of counter terrorism officials and also ex Muslims which goes into the methods and strategies of Jihad. |

| #2 I was walking out of Park's Seafood in Ormond Beach on Saturday evening. I heard a plane go over very low and one nearly hit my car in the parking lot. |

| #1 I got a copy in my local paper on 16 Sept at the local library. I asked the librarian if I could borrow the DVD, and she gave it to me instead, saying they had no way to catalog newspaper inserts. I'm a bit surprised it took so long for news articles about the DVD distribution to appear. |
