crazy, anti-Islam propaganda

‘24′ Producer Pulls Endorsement Of Anti-Muslim DVD ‘Obsession’
(Think Progress)
---
I actually received this in the mail for some reason (possibly because my wife is registered as an Independent) and we watched this last night.
While it claims that not all Muslims are extremists, it then goes on, in great detail, to say that there is no way to know if a seemingly peaceful Muslim is an extremist or not, so you better assume that he is!
The theory of the DVD seems to be (though it is not clear) that America should be made aware of the threat of extremists. I didn't know that anyone was denying this threat, but I guess the makers don't think that we are taking this seriously enough since we are not equating Islam with Nazis and we are letting Muslims live freely in our country.
It also offers no solutions of any sort (other than to visit their website) but just seems to want to make people afraid and to make wild accusations and comparisons.
This is pretty vile propaganda and we just kept saying that we could say the same about evangelical extremists, as well.
Hopefully, more people will speak out against this nonsense.
