However, the war is an ideological war and is being waged
by propagating misinformation, derived from misleading
references and conditions. Make no mistake, evil people do
exist and they are ruthless in their actions. The attacks of
9/11 will forever be a reminder that villains and criminals
are capable of horrific acts that can cripple our nation. This is not Islam!
Problem!
We as Americans have been deceived.
Numerous organizations have formed and have been working
together under the banner of "Education" to spread the
"warning" that you need to "Wake Up" and to fear "Radical
Islam", and it's war against the west.
No one tool has been used more often than the film
"Obsession: Radical Islam's War against the West". This
video has been shown in government buildings during
business hours while employees were earning our tax dollars.
Many Universities have held or hosted public viewings for students.
Exposing our youth to half truths and verified lies. Many
religious centers have adopted the film as an instructional
tool on Islam!
So what's the problem?
People from all walks of life have been subjected to this
film, which is nothing more than a concentrated dose of fear designed to
penetrate deep into the hearts of Americans, and to provoke the
question "Does Islam really teach this"?.
The Facts are simple, this video contains within it
numerous verified false claims and obvious errors. Some
easy examples are the incorrect translations of Arabic
documents to English, mislabeling Arabic television with
Iranian or Persian television, events and scenarios placed
out of context, as well as testimony given by self a
proclaimed reformed terrorist, Walid Shoebat. My question is, how did
he get into America, and sense he has admitted to committing
crimes and acts of terror, why has he not been charged and
punished for them? I thought we had
a terrorist watch list! If indeed he has committed
acts of terror, and is currently living or residing in the
United States he needs to be taken into custody and put on
trial for
crimes against humanity. If all it takes is to say "sorry, I
wont kill anyone else anymore", then we should all get a
pass on the crimes we commit. However, this is reality, and
the truth is, these men are deceiving you.
Solution
Muslims must get involved!
As Muslims we have often allowed unreliable Muslims and
non-Muslims to misrepresent our faith. This has resulted in
a tragic void that rests deep in the hearts of our fellow
Americans. It is not enough to say that I denounce
terrorism.
We are ready to take on this film and its promoters, and
no longer allow them to go unchallenged when false claims
are made.
Every generation has is own Jihad, our Jihad must be
fought with the pen, with our participation in Government,
with our brains, and with our resources. For every movie
like Obsession we will make a Film that exposes the lies and
promotes the truth. For every book that misrepresents Islam
we will right the wrongs by publishing the truth.
The time is now! We must educate ourselves and become
involved in all aspects of our communities. You can no longer stay behind
closed doors and live alone in America. We are always angry
when we see films like Obsession, but we never do anything
about it. We as Muslims allow self proclaimed experts in
Islam to sell their propaganda at our expense. Well enough
is enough, together we can, and will, make a difference!

The Film
What's the problem?
As Americans, Muslim and Non-Muslim alike, you
should be concerned.
In the opening moments of Obsession the film
makers make the claim
that not all Muslims are radical, but the film never
suggests that Islam does not promote violence,
killing, or terror.
Rather, the film implies by omission that it
indeed does. The entire documentary is filled with
random unrelated people, eras, and situations.
Lumping over one hundred years of history into a two
hour hate speech.
While many of the situations are factual, the
context is completely omitted. The films entire
purpose is to promote the idea that imbedded within
Islam, is a message of hate and violence. A dictate
to destroy all challengers to Islamic Ideology. A
message of world dominance, and that America and its
people, are sitting in the cross hairs of a Global
and Violent Jihad.
We encourage everyone to watch this video, but to
do so in a setting where you can be objective. There
is no denying that people commit violent acts in the
name of Islam or Allah, but that does not mean that
Islam promotes or condones those actions.
To assume otherwise would be irresponsible.
Unless you apply the same logic to all of history
and every contemporary problem in the world. For
example, the crusades, the inquisitions, and all
other world conflicts that were designed to spread
religion.
As Muslims and when appropriate we separate the actions of people from the
message of their faith . We do not assume that
because a Christian or Jew commits a violent act
that it is becoming of Christian Values.
When promoters of the film Obsession, hold public
viewings emotions run high, people are left to make
serious judgment calls with only limited
information, and when the video references things
said in Arabic, Farsi, or Urdu they are often left
with no way to verify the authenticity of the
claims.
Join us in the fight to eliminate hate, violence,
and injustice. This film is a catalyst for far worse
things to come. Don't allow misinformed people,
the means to spread misinformation at the expense of the truth
and the rights of Americans, both Muslim and
Non-Muslim.
Numerous organizations have formed and have been working
together under the banner of "Education" to spread the
"warning" that you need to "Wake Up" and to fear "Radical
Islam", and it's war against the west.
