Obsession DVD- thumbs up
Contributed by: Nathan Hatcher   on 9/23/2008

I have seen the complaints about the DVD that was in the paper and unlike some people have no problem with it. It was thought provoking and lends light to a growing international concern-radical Islamic terrorism.

If others think this is not a growing problem they should do a little more research and less denial. Examples of Shariah law and its applications are rampant in Western Europe and we are next on the list. I believe that 100-200 million potential threats to western society should be monitored. It is not an attack on Islam but concern with the large radical, violent strain within the religion. It doesn't teach hate but caution and awareness.

We have learned to be wary of Islamic goals and ideals throughout the constant verbal threats and violent actions perpetuated upon non-Islamic people. And the lack of mainstream Islamic condemnation of such actions becomes tacit approval for these actions. I for one am glad that there is a free speech outlet in this country to publicize these types of things, one that would not exist in an Islamic society that treats women as second class citizens and physically threaten the life and well-being of minority populations like the gay community and Jewish people.
