Who's Afraid of 'Obsession'?

Who's Afraid of 'Obsession'?
 
17 October 2008 | 15:44 | FOCUS News Agency
 
Los Angeles. The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) - an organization identified as a California-based Muslim Brotherhood front - convened a press conference today in Los Angeles with a senior representative of local law enforcement and members of other faiths, FrontPageMagazine.com reports. The stated purpose is to unveil a new “united front” initiative called the “Coalition for Renewing American Democracy” which MPAC has apparently conjured up in order to inveigh against “Obsession,” a documentary film that powerfully, and authoritatively, dissects radical Islam’s war against the West. Shortly after its 2005 premiere, the film won awards at three top international film festivals.


The problem for the Muslim Brotherhood is that millions of copies of “Obsession” have been distributed around the United States in recent weeks in national magazines, to several hundred college campuses, at both political conventions, and in local newspapers. As a result, many millions of Americans have had an opportunity to be educated about the ambitions of those who adhere to the Islamic political and legal system known as “Shariah” - namely, the realization through “jihad” of a world-wide and brutally repressive Islamic theocracy.

 
“Obsession” utilizes actual footage of radical Islamist rallies and calls to violent jihad against America, along with interviews of Muslim and non-Muslim experts on radical Islamism. It captures unabashed exhortations to violence and murder aimed at Americans, Jews and other Westerners that are shocking in their savagery, even to those familiar with the nature of contemporary Islamofascism; they tend to leave an even more lasting impression on those that are not.

Ignoring radical Islam will lead to peril

Ignoring radical Islam will lead to peril September 24, 2008

"Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West," a Liberty Film Festival winner for best feature documentary film in DVD form, is a must-see movie for anyone.

The president of the Hudson Institute, a respected think tank, writes, "If you haven't seen it, you should! And if you have seen it, you should insist that others see it as well. Our future may depend on it." United States Naval War College Professor Jeffrey Norwitz sees it as "expertly produced with solid historic research; ... every viewer regardless of background will learn something." The film is "about a radical worldview, and the threat it poses to us all, Muslims and non-Muslims alike," according to the nonprofit, non-partisan organization that made the film. The organization's mission is to educate Americans about national security issues through documentary films, Web sites and educational materials. The one-hour film is especially valuable, as in it the radical jihadists tell the story themselves.

Unedited footage from Arab television shows rare scenes, from the education and indoctrination of Arab children in the classroom, where they are taught to value jihad and "the love of fighting, ... for the sake of Allah," to a suicide-bomber induction ceremony and fiery speeches in Middle East mosques and in London and New York City streets, preaching the Islamization of the world and the destruction of the Jews, the Americans and the British. What Wikipedia called "notable counter-terrorism figures" provide the analysis in the film. Among them are Egyptian-American writer Nonie Darwish, a graduate of the American University in Cairo, daughter of an Egyptian lieutenant general who headed Fadayeen terror operations against Israel, and was assassinated by the Israelis in 1956 when Darwish was 8; Bethlehem-born Walid Shoebat, with a Palestinian father and an American mother, an anti-Israeli activist turned supporter of Israel after Sep. 11, 2001, a controversial former Palestinian Liberation Organization terrorist; West-Bank-born Khaled Abu Toameh, with an Israeli Arab father and a Palestinian Arab mother, a graduate of the Hebrew University, and a senior reporter for the Jerusalem Post; Alfons Heck, a member of Hitler Youth who became a Nazi officer, described by Wikipedia as "a fanatical adherent of Nazism's ideologies." The film contains footage of radical Muslims' global jihad attacks in New York City, London, Madrid; in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe -- "all fronts of a global jihad," says one analyst. Analysts were unanimous that "history repeats itself," as the film reviews Hitler's Mein Kampf of the German "Aryans" against the "Jewish peril," connects "the dots" showing parallels between radical Islamists' jihad and the Nazi holocaust, the similar propaganda techniques of continuously demonizing enemies, the remarkable resemblance in manipulating young minds toward fanatic hatred and training followers to accept death -- the difference being death for the Fatherland was dictated by Hitler, a man, while death for the sake of Allah claims the sanction of the Almighty. As the film shows, the 1998 Jordanian and Palestinian school book teaches, "This religion (Islam) will destroy all other religions through the Islamic Jihad fighters," a final goal of the radical jihadists. "I was an intense believer in the Nazi ideology," says Heck in the film. "I know what a supreme dedication to an ideology can do." "We need to understand the culture that produces terrorism," says Darwish. After 9/11, people asked "why do they hate us?" Some blame themselves and U.S. foreign policies. This "distracted" from the real reason of an "ideology that wants to destroy us." Professor Robert Wistrich of the Sassoon Center for Antisemitism thinks of a "particular strand" in Islam represented by the radicals that challenges the "sacredness of life" embraced by Western culture. The film shows Sheik Ibrahim Mahdi speak on Palestinian TV: "We must educate our children on the love of Jihad for the sake of Allah. And the love of fighting ...." And Palestinian TV footage of 1998 shows children recite, "I march quickly toward my death." The former dean of Islamic Law at Qatar University laments, "We have not succeeded in making our children love life ...."

Analysts asked in the film: If radical jihadists dehumanize the West and preach every day that it is evil and must be destroyed, and if Palestine and Saudi TV preach kids to want to become suicide bombers,"what do you expect will happen? Palestinian journalist Toameh says, "As a Muslim I feel pretty worried, ... and I feel shamed; ... Islam has been hijacked by different fanatic groups." He hopes it is "out of fear and not out of sympathy" that the "silent majority" of Muslims don't speak up. Professor Wistrich asserts that that there is "No evil that simply has disappeared on its own accord." He laments, evil triumphs "because there is not enough people who stand up" to defeat it. You "can't claim ignorance anymore," says Darwish, and analysts in the film agree if we continue to ignore radical Islam, we do so "at our own peril," and "risk our own demise." A. Gaffar Peang-Meth, Ph.D., is retired from the University of Guam, where he taught political science for 13 years.

The 'Muslim Students Association' [MSU, MSA] = Radical Islamic Hatred

The 'Muslim Students Association' [MSU, MSA] = Radical Islamic Hatred

MSA's slogan 'FASCISM, NOT TRUTH!'

MSA = HATRED

A. Writes: I was first introduced to MSA ‘Muslim Student Association’ by an apparent advocate for them, an Arab poster (posing as “Italian”) on AOL message boards [under multiple screen names 'sock-puppets' including "LetsReadAll", "CryToHvn" and more] on 2001 who claimed to be a 'Holocaust denier' but liked to brag about Nazis killing Jews, liked to post against certain AOL users that were openly Jewish a thread like: "paging Dr. Mengele", ) that posted again & again a video propaganda “little ones”, a collection of graphic content like bloody pictures of dead kids, on Arab “Palestinians” killed (mostly) due to Arab Muslim terrorists using them as shields but of course the blame was entirely on “The Zionists”, a typical smear campaign tool using most graphic bloody photos of the dead or wounded, “accompanied” by blatant lies such as calling tear gas (used by the careful & moral driven IDF to disperse protesters and minimize loss of lives) as “chemical weapons”, imagine that!

In 2002 this venomous MSA distributed an anti Jewish 'anti-Semitic' propaganda [in reference to Arab children who are held hostage by Arab adult terrorists hiding in residential homes so that the Arab kids could die when the IDF is after them, and be served as propaganda against the Zionists]  bottled meat with a label "Palestinian children butchered in accordance with Jewish law'  -- http://www.standwithus.com/actions/051802.asp GUPS MSA .. racism is not directed specifically at Israel but at Jews.

Then again, just like other typical Islamic lobbies, MSA was/is more about hatred of “the other” than any actions “for” their ‘community’.

http://frontpagemag.com/Articles/Read.aspx?GUID=274ECFEE-A822-42A7-B840-2EC28369A95F

Isn't it ironic that a racist hateful LOBBY would take upon itself a response to [the reality & the] exposure of ‘Islamo-fascism’  with a VEIL under a supposed “anti-racist” mask?

‘PEACE NOT PREJUDICE’ OR ‘FASCISM NOT TRUTH’?

Check this, in the style of the Arab lobby’s funded Carter’s slogan “peace not apartheid” (though Carter admits: CNN.com - Transcripts Plus, interview with former President Jimmy Carter. ... "I recognize Israel is a wonderful democracy with freedom of speech and equality of treatment ..."
http://edition.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0612/13/ltm.01.html ), the MSA as good ‘Palestinian - PALLYWOOD’ propagandists they try to play a pun: “peace not prejudice”.

Exactly that fascistic “peace”, is the most dangerous bigotry and war, that the entire humanity is a menace under (from the Islamic Hitler in Iran’s nukes to Islamists worldwide, holding the sword everywhere there’s a Muslim population & beyond).

He is notorious for his anti-Semitic comments, such as “You can take the Jew out of the ghetto but you cannot take the ghetto out of the Jew,” for claiming that Nazi anti-Semitism was justifiable and for his close association with Ahmed Huber, the neo-Nazi Swiss convert to Islam who praised Khomeini as the “living continuation of Adolf Hitler.”...

"Hadith of Hate" Banned at USC
By Reut R. Cohen FrontPageMagazine.com | 8/29/2008
As Muslim Student Association (MSA) chapters have become increasingly influential at universities and colleges around the country, critics have charged that it is a hate group that sympathizes with the international jihad and promulgates an anti-American and anti-Semitic ideology in its campus actions. In response, the MSA has claimed that it is merely another religious and cultural group similar to Hillel, a club for Jewish students, or the Newman Club for Catholics. That deception has been now unmasked at the University of Southern California, where the school’s Provost, Chrysostomos L. Max Nikias, reacting to a call from the David Horowitz Freedom Center and the Simon Wiesenthal Center, has ordered the campus MSA to remove a “despicable” hadith calling for Muslims to murder Jews as a condition for redemption from its website.
David Horowitz, President of the Freedom Center, hails this as a breakthrough moment when the double standards that control the political and intellectual culture of most universities have finally been challenged. “Up to now, the slightest criticism of radical Islam on campus has been slammed as ‘Islamophobia,’ while Muslim groups and their radical fellow travelers have been allowed to say the most hateful things imaginable about Christians and Jews without any reaction from university administrators whatsoever,” Horowitz says. “Provost Nikias has called the hadith on the MSA website for what it is: despicable. Given the atmosphere that prevails on most campuses today, it was an act of integrity on his part to make this call and to demand that the MSA live up to basic standards of civility that should govern the university.”
The hadith (sacred teaching) reads as follows:
“Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him….”

Hooked nose Arabs paint hooked noses? - Author Derided by 'Muslim Students Association' in Anti Semitic Cartoon

Hooked nose Arabs paint hooked noses? - Author Derided by 'Muslim Students Association' in Anti Semitic Cartoon
 
tothecenter ^ 2008
 
 Author Derided by Muslim Students in Anti Semitic Cartoon Author David Horowitz responded today to his recent controversy at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
 
 David Horowitz, a popular conservative writer, was derided in a Nazi-like anti-Semitic cartoon, put out by the Muslim Student Association. The cartoon, which was copied and spread around campus, portrays Horowitz, a Jewish man, as a hooked-nose Nazi hiding in a trash can. The cartoon is a direct reference to similar anti-Semitic cartoons circulated in Germany right around the time of the Holocaust. In the crude cartoon, Horowitz has an armband with the letter "H," a direct and tasteless reference to the yellow armbands Jews were forced to wear in the Holocaust, with a Star of David, denoting themselves as Jews. Horowitz has been outspoken on Islamic fascism and was set to speak about it. The cartoon also includes the phrase, "Horowitz Awareness Week." More than ten students were removed from the hall in which he gave his lecture, and metal detectors were set up in the entrance. The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has yet to put out a statement condemning the obviously anti-Semitic cartoon. This may become a bigger issue, as the Muslim Student Association is a campus organization, funded by students of the university and the university itself. The Muslim Student Association, which made the cartoon, has yet to make any public statements or apologies.
 
The Muslim Students' Association has its campus headquarters located inside the Student Union, with its own office. While walking in the Student Union, Horowitz discovered the crude cartoon. The Muslim Students' Association is a part of the Muslim Brotherhood. The flier also stated support for jihad. Horowitz said that 2,000 fliers, advertising his speaking engagement, were torn down by members of the MSA. Horowitz wrote an article about this event, at Frontpagemagazine.com, titled "My Encounter with the Enemy in Milwaukee."

CAIR's Corey Saylor: Hiding The Bloody Truth Of Islamofascism

August 06, 2008

CAIR's Corey Saylor: Hiding The Bloody Truth Of Islamofascism

Another Anti-CAIR Blogburst. Corey Saylor, national legislative director for the terrorist front organization, CAIR, recently wrote an op-ed in hopes of fooling the public that an amendment to the Intelligence Authorization Act offered by Rep. Pete Hoekstra:

"may unintentionally legitimize Al Qaeda and other anti-American forces"

Saylor, a key member of CAIR; an organization founded by members of the anti-American Islamic terrorist group Hamas, says the amendment, which passed by a 249-180 vote, needs to be reconsidered.

Why?

Apparently, Saylor believes that terms like, 'jihadist,' 'jihad,' 'Islamofascism,' 'caliphate,' 'Islamist,' or 'Islamic terrorist' should instead be replaced by language that describes Islamic terrorists as 'thugs" and 'criminals'.

Could it be that Saylor’s leash-holders in Hamas find the terms used in the amendment just a bit too close to describing the Islamist ideology?

Or is it more likely that CAIR members and officers have been known to share the ideals and goals of the “Islamofascists” of Hamas…and since the imposition of an Islamic "caliphate" is odious to North Americans…Saylor wants to obscure this from the public?

However, Saylor is obviously not conversant with his own organizations history. Witness: CAIR founder Omar Ahmad, appearing at the Islamic Association of Palestine’s third annual convention in Chicago, praised suicide bombers:

"Fighting for freedom, fighting for Islam -- that is not suicide. They kill themselves for Islam"

Is Saylor repudiating the actions of those “fighting for freedom…(those who) kill themselves for Islam”? And what would Ahmad have to say about Saylor implying that these so-called “freedom fighters” are “thugs” and “criminals”? Did not Ahmad praise Saylor’s “thugs” and “criminals” as “heroes”? Who is right? Saylor describing those who terror-murder in the name of Islam as “thugs” and “criminals” is insulting to all self-respecting thugs and criminals who don’t use religion to justify their crimes. Pete Hoekstra's amendement preserves the terms that perfectly describe the religious ideology of Hamas terrorists.

Corey Saylor - CAIR terrorist sympathizer - can't handle this truth.

But then again, when could any CAIR lap dog ever handle the truth ...?

Faking it, (pretending to be) “shocked” to hear: ‘the Muslims have said either we kneel or they’re going to kill us’…

We see it time and time again, every once in a while someone in the West (Europe, US, Australia, etc.) speaks out against manstream Islam, Muslims, and all the west gets as a feedback is “outrage” and fake faces of “surprise”, as if mainstream Muslims are ’shocked’, and just “didn’t expect it.”

And again, their leaders such as “moderate” (pro Islamic terror) CAIR all it can answer is play “victimhood” - crocodile tears, but won’t dare start taking responsibilty, won’t use this opportunity ro denounce all Islamofascism, whether Islamic-Iranian, Darfuri, “Palestinian”, Iraqi [Sunni vs Shiite and Al Qaeda in Iraq], Al Qaeda, Afghani [Taliban], [Syrian-Iranian led] Hezbollah, Laskar Jihad, Indonesian [Jemaa Islamiya], Algerian [ALQIM], etc.

They are merely reaffirming Mr. Day’s words, even in such a moment when pushed to the wall they just “can’t” denounce global Islamic-violence clearly without any rationalizations they are so <sic> used to give it to us, served with the plate of excuses that it’s origin is no less fascistic than the worldwide Jihadi terror acts themselves.

Arabs racism and hypocrisy

Arabs racism and hypocrisy



This is a letter from an Arab-American guy to an Arab newspaper, very interesting because it raised a very good issues about racism (Arabs vs Arabs and Arabs vs African-Americans), since I don’t live in the US so I don’t have any idea about the background of the problem but I could see that his argument can fit even here in Europe.


Greetings and I hope you are well and in good favor…………….Having lived in the U.S. for the past 24 years………


It remains a solid fact that as Arabs we became very comfortable with our hypocrisy in believing that we practice high measures of a higher moral code while in reality our social ways and practices are the very antithesis of the moral standards we advocate. I dearly wish that you could write about Arab racism, specifically Arab against Arab racism that is based on color of the skin, and Arab racism against non Arab minorities of the U.S. This phenomenon though rarely spoken about is one of the biggest social maladies that we commonly and overtly practice as Arabs both in the Arab world and in the Diaspora. Here in the U.S. for example one often finds Muslim Arab Americans advocate the principles of Islam, and call on people to adopt this great faith, however, any Muslim of dark color could tell you that the common practice of “separate but equal” is the socially accepted norm among white Arab Muslims when black Arab Muslims or black none Arab Muslims are considered.


Yet in most Arab American circles an observer would note our excessive criticism of American society as one in which anti Arab racism prevails. Our criticism of American society as a racist one became particularly evident ever since 9/11, and while it remains a solid fact that Arab Americans became feared, hated, accused, harassed, interrogated, and feared in American society post 9/11, it also remain a solid ironic fact that the multitude of Arab Americans still practice covert and overt acts of racism against African Americans in particular despite our bitter brush with racism after 9/11.


It is well known to the African American communities that Arab Americans have the same superiority complex which European Americans had in the past. We Arab Americans choose at free-will not only to disassociate from the African American communities, but also contribute to some great extent to the destruction of these communities. Note for example that the majority of the liquor-store small businesses in the economically depressed African American neighborhoods are owned by Arab Americans. It is worthy of mentioning that most of the Arab American owners of these liquor stores view these communities with a loathing eye of contempt and choose to reside away from these African American neighborhoods on whose destruction they contribute!


It must be noted for the sake of fairness however that it is the Muslim Arab Americans who adopt and practice racism. It is rather ironic that post 9/11 we as Muslim Arab Americans became more concerned with the various elements of bigotry that is directed towards our communities with out ever having the courage to face-up the racism that comes out of our own communities in particular one that is directed towards African Americans. Having lived in the U.S. for a long while now, I can say with accuracy that I have witnessed American society take very positive legal and social measures to do away with racial discrimination. But I have also witnessed that among the very first things Arabs acquire when they come to America is racism.
