Film’s View of Islam Stirs Anger on Campuses - New York Times

Film’s View of Islam Stirs Anger on Campuses - New York Times

It's truly rewarding to see the bastion of liberal apologists, the New York Times, write this piece about the storm on campus regarding the film about Islamic radicalism, "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West". A project of several allied groups, including HonestReporting.com (in which we are involved), this film frames the war of civilizations extremely well, by using the words of our enemies themselves. This film attempts to unmask the radicalism of many of its followers, while the obfuscators and apologists whine that the film presents an unfair portrait of Islam, that "peaceful religion" (PLEASE!!!, while many good, moderate -- and generally quiet -- Muslims exist, Islamic civilization through the ages, at best, has only shown sporadic short-lived periods of tolerance of others as second class citizens with dhimmi status, punctuating long bouts of anti-Western persecution, warfare and Jihad).

We await the coming to prominance and leadership in the Islamic world of those peaceful and coexisting types -- for now, we have the Iranians and Wahabis calling the agenda of the Islamic world, and hence, we need "Obsession" displayed for all to see.
