The College Republicans Club at California Lutheran University screened a movie titled: Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West. It is important to note that it says "Radical"- this means that it is not talking about the entire Muslim nation; only the radicals. This movie is very interesting and thought provoking. It speaks of how the radical Muslim's have waged jihad (holy war) on the West. They do not like our culture, they think that we are trying to take over the world (although that is precisely what they are trying to do) and they want us gone...forever. It showed how they indoctrinate their children from a very young age and teach them that jihad is what Allah wants them to do. It talked about how they had created a new type of terrorism, that is not bounded by geography. The "magnificent nineteen" who hijacked the planes for the 9/11 attacked, came to America, got American drivers licenses, and learned how to fly planes here in America and turn them into weapons of destruction. The movie has Muslim commentators that are ashamed of what the radicals are doing to the way the religion is viewed. Nonie Darwish, author of Now They Call Me Infidel is a Muslim Shahid's (martyr's) daughter and she says that America is strangling itself with its political correctness. I agree with her.
It is important to note, and the movie makes this distinction, that radical Islam is bad for the peaceful Muslims, its bad for everyone. The radicals are filled with hatred of America and England. There are not just radical Muslims in the Middle East though, they are all around London and even here in America. The problem is that they can no longer be solely classified by their ethnicity, so it makes it harder to identify who is a radical Muslim. One of the strongest arguments in the movie is that it drew connection with the Nazis and Radical Islam, and they cannot be ignored. Altogether it is a very thought provoking movie and if you would like to find out more you can go to obsessionthemovie.com. There they provide clips to watch the movie and it is five dollars to watch the entire film, which is approximately sixty minutes long.
