for what it is worth i was raised in a zionist house hold in wich my mother raised me to have the most rediculous racist ideas about arabs.our parents do this to us.good for you for being above it as i fortunately am as well.
I agree with you that the obsession film completely mis-portrays Islam and Islamic culture. It is racist, etc. However, the fact that Jews, Israelis, etc funded the creation of the film does not prove or disprove anything, it is simply a fact. Just like the fact that I am Jewish.
15 yrs ago in Europe Islam was moderate. As Muslims immigrated & adopted radical views, people spoke out in objection yet liberals & ethnocentric groups said they were discriminatory & people should be tolerant & culturally sensitive. Radical Islam capitalized on benefits of European rights, freedoms, & open policies. Today radical Islam dominates with weekly protests, flag burnings, & terror attacks. America needs to wake up & learn what has happened in Europe & now Canada. ACT NOW!
We all All part of the same race "The Human Race" that has been broken down into a nationality. Forreal we are one big family, we as a family gotta figure out what is breaking up the Human family.
i live in an arab country and i want to get that movie so if u dont like it send it to me i will love to watch it and i will ask my arab mates to drop out of islam :)
Well i just found, there are people who think rationally.Your information was helpfull and hopefully people understand your point which is not to spread hate through wrong means.
i'm sad to read, that your impression of "obsession" is so bad. for i found it a very good movie on the subject of radical islam. and i don't share your opinion, that it spread hate against people of asian, middle eastern or indian descent. of course, racists will see their stereotypes confirmed in this movie, but the do so everywhere, because they're dumb. the movie itself features muslims and explains at it's very beginning, that it's not a movie against islam in general.
Obsession is the result of an unholy alliance by the Republican Jewish Coalition & the Clarion Fund. As a 501(c)3 charity, the Clarion Fund is barred from any political activity, but this is obviously a thinly veiled attempt to by foreign rabbis to sway the American electorate by stoking fear, which pushes voters toward John McCain, especially since half of American voters aren't sure of Barak Obama's religion & half of those wrongly think he is Muslim, although he has always been a Christian.
I understand that your concern is with your BF's heritage. However, the DVD is not aimed at Indians, it is purportedly aimed at "Radical Islamists only", primarily of the Wahhabi sect out of Arabia. The great injustice is that the film goes on to attribute statements by Radical Islamists to the Qur'an. These teachings are not found in the Qur'an, nor are they believed by 95% of all Muslims. Nevertheless, the DVD tries to take advantage of American ignorance of Islam and the Arabic language.
Yes, you do have freedom of speech. BUT the radical islamic ideology (ideology - not a race or ethnicity) that exists in a Taliban type government PROHIBITS defamation of islam.
johee626, Obsession was not about the Indian people but Radical muslims that seek to destroy the way of life that the West has made for itself. It shows that some important Muslims are repudiating the West and want to replace it with Sharia Law. It is to show what Americans are afraid to confront: Radical Islam!
I think that u saying Islamic culture is better to be condemned is not an atttitude of a person that is truly about justice,just for the record I am Sunni Muslim and African American and if you research African history a large percentage if not a majority of blacks that were brought to the Americas were Muslim.When I say Americas I am including central and South America and the Carribean also.A large percentage of Africans would be offended by such unjust comments against Islamic culture.
It never mentions Indians. It talks about radical muslims, it has muslims in the film denouncing these radicals. Telling that the Islamic faith is one of peace, not the out right war that these radical muslims are pursuing. Try watching the whole film before passing the kind of judgement that you are claming was passed onto you. It also shows true muslims demonstrating against terrorist radicals in Iran.
Are you from the Indian subcontinent or are you native American? And I don't recall the video talking about Indians. I do agree that the video is serious bullshit.
Wow, She's right about one main thing. Which is why people are able to send such stuff like that in the mail.I'm Latin-black-and Asian(Indian).Such stuff like that i don't waste my time to look at I'll throw it away without looking. i have no religion will it's like i don't but am agnostic and when i see people trying to spread hatred around it's kinda makes me sick so i go by life not letting myself notice it something it'll slip by.If something is offensive in anyway don't spread it.
You should never learn anything from the perspective of those who are enemies of the thing you are studying. If you want to know what Islam is learn it from practicing Muslims not biased haters. Racism and prejudice is unfortunately alive in well in America and the world I am African American and Muslim trust me I know.
I agree with you that all muslims are not extremists. But i'm not polarized on this issue. I don't believe that all Israelites are anti-islamic.
Racism will never die, in my opinion, because it doesn't come from outside of us. Russians were killing off people in their own country who simply had different accents, before world war one. Japanese killed the Chinese, and so on. White Austrians killed white Germans. We form cliques in churches and schools, and this simple human trait= death
The thing that I really don't understand about prejudice and stereotypes is that people hold hold on to them even when they see examples that prove that all people of that race aren't like that.
