 something everyone should see November 15, 2008
Obsession does a very good job in presenting what, how and who is using one the largest religions in the world to spread hate, violence and death. This isn't a DVD saying that all of Islam, or Muslims are out to destroy America and the West, because they aren't.
What this DVD does is show you how the extremists go about convincing the average Joe that violence is not only the way, but the best way to combat the west. The use of religion for violence isn't anything new, a Muslim suicide bomber attaching tourists is not worse than the Evangelical Christian bombing an abortion clinic. Both groups are using a religion as an excuse for murder and it is wrong. But the average American can not fathom how the average Arab in a place like Iran thinks. And while this DVD will not suddenly pull up the blinds and enlighten you, it does a good job at presenting the facts of the matter. It isn't a clear cut 'this is right and this is wrong' but a look at the matter from a fairly clinical position.
That being said this DVD can serve to just stoke the flames of hatred against Muslims as well. It is hard not to be angry when you see tiny children talking about how they want to kill and burn western leaders. Or listen to people celebrating the bombing of the Twin Towers on 911. Or watching the burning of American bodies in Fallujah. But this sort of thing should make you angry, and give you reason why such hatred on any side should not be tolerated.
DEFINITELY WATCH November 9, 2008
This is thought-provoking, eye-opening DVD. Definitely a must-see. Invite people over & watch it together, then discuss. Be informed what mainstream media is not saying. Check it out for yourself.

Really blatant that it is circulated around the election.
Extremists are in every organization and religion but this movie didn't show where the line is drawn.
Just hope no one actually gets fooled by it.
Obvious propaganda. November 1, 2008

There are a lot more people who have said things about this film more clearly than I could have. Anyone who wants a frank discussion about the realities of Islam is free to email me; all those who just want some propaganda that will reinforce what they already believe about Islam are free to watch this movie.
This is not a movie, it is Propaganda & Lies October 31, 2008

"Obsession" begins with a brief disclaimer that states: "It is important to remember that most Muslims are peaceful and do not support terror." However, the rest of the film distorts facts and events in an attempt to convince its audience of the exact opposite.
It is obvious that the film's ultimate goal is to lay the grounds for a larger religious war that goes beyond our national security interests and has only two beneficiaries: radical evangelicals who hold an apocalyptic worldview, and war profiteers who gamble at the expense of thousands of American lives and trillions of tax-payer dollars.
Do not waste your money or time on this movie. It is not fair, balanced or without bias. Interesting that thousands of these are being mailed FREE and without request to households the weekend before the election.
