New
Obsession Campaign
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This year, America
has witnessed an increased number of radical extremist incidents. The
recent tragedy at Fort Hood is only one of many alarming plots carried
out on our soil. The threats are very real.
This Thanksgiving,
we commemorate the one year anniversary of the attacks in Mumbai.
We must pause on
this day to acknowledge our liberties and recognize those that actively
seek to destroy our values. To mark this day, the producers of the
award-winning Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West
are making the film available for free viewing online.
The free stream
campaign will run from Monday November 23 until December 10 at www.radicalislam.org/obsession.
This campaign follows a highly successful free stream of The
Third Jihad to mark the anniversary of 9/11.Over 35,000 viewers
watched the film over the course of the 2 1/2 week campaign.
Together, these films represent the best educational tools
available for informing the public about the true threats of radical
Islam.
But, in order to spread the message, we need your help!
We greatly appreciate your help in making
this campaign a success. If you have any feedback, comments or
suggestions feel free to contact me at nabramson@clarionfund.org
