Obsession DVD

[carolaa]

I'm curious if anyone has heard of - or seen - the DVD "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West." Apparently, 28 million of these DVDs are currently being distributed in "key battleground states."

I'm not really sure I want to watch it. It sounds awful. But I'm wondering what people here might think of it, and what they might think about those who are sending them out. Do you think it will make a difference in the presidential race, and why or why not?

I'm guessing the reasons for sending them out are: 1) to associate Obama with Muslims, 2) to scorn Obama's philosophy of diplomacy, and 3) to promote McCain's warmongering policies. Does that sound about right, or does anyone have other thoughts?

My wife & youngest son watched it. They said it was good. Enlightening.

Since McCain is not a warmonger I guess it can't be promoting his 'warmongering' policies. I heard it was put together by a mainstream or moderate Muslim who is trying to contrast cast radical Muslims in a bad light but there is nothing to fear from modernized Muslims.
