Last night I saw Obsession:Radical Islam's War Against the West -I'm sure most who read this Blog have already seen it or heard of it . . .
I didn't much of the information new, per say, but to see it all synthesized together, and the particular emphasis on the Nazi-Arab connection, is rather interesting.
But what to me may not be new, is an eye opener for the American and European Public . . .
A few notes:
- The film's expansion the Jihadist threat by not focusing on the Jewish aspect of the 'war' was a good call . . . too often people look to blame this global issue on Israel. In fact, I think they drew out the Nazi-Arab connection more then it needed to be.
- In the introduction they make note of Chechen rebels, however, I am not sure if they fit so perfectly into the Global Islamo-fundamentalist Jihad -since their fight is over a far more legitimate claim to their land (Though I by no means condone their Terrorist actions etc.)
- Online there have been the expected condemnations of the documentary by various Muslim groups . . . Besides the obvious fallacy of their statements, by trying to shift blame onto other parties and the like, I find it almost humorous that they claim the video depicts all Muslims in a bad light. Besides the introduction and end which clearly point out the minority aspect of the Islamic Jihadists (though a minority of 1.5 Billion is no small number), the entire length of the documentary refers to Islamo-fundamentalists, Jihadists and the like who spread they're message through propaganda and violence . . . Apparently our friends fail to grasp the English language, for by referring to these parties as Islamic Fundamentalists, it is implicit that there are non Fundamentalists as well . . .
That is, of course, unless they feel that all Muslims could be described as Islamo-fundamentalists, Jihadists and the like who spread they're message through propaganda and violence -but then what room is there to complain that we're giving them a bad image?
