Obsession: The Threat of Radical Islam: Through the eyes of radical Islam, American culture is immoral and evil. Why do they hate us, what are they planning, and can they be stopped?
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
The best movie about the threat of Islam ever made.
Thank you so much for posting this...I mentioned it on a thread today...but didn't know the time.
I think they are showing it at 4:00 on Sunday also.
Yes, and the program will be repeated thru the early a.m. hours Sunday, and later that day also.
PING
I thought it was on at 5 a.m. on Sunday morning too.
FYI for important pre-election program!
"Obsession: The Threat of Radical Islam" — Sat., 8pm / 1am ET, Sun. 4pm / 10pm ET
"Radical"?
You may have a point, but I think the significance is that the documentary was made at all, and thank goodness Fox is giving it some play...
Sat., November 4 at 8 p.m. ET
The Fox story says 5 a.m. Sunday morning too. That's in the e-mail I got also.
THERE WILL BE TWO VERSIONS AIRED ON FOX ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY! WATCH THE 12-MINUTE OBSESSION TRAILER HERE:

Thanks for the heads up. I just programmed my DVR.
I dont get all this 'hold your nose' stuff.
My congresscritters (up for re-election) are Sen. Rick Santorum and Rep. Michael Fitzpatrick, two of the most excellent intellectual conservatives you could ever meet.
I think there was maybe one issue maybe two with which I disagreed how Fitzpatrick voted.
And as for Santorum, the only thing I can recall is that he maybe campaigned too hard for Spector, a dispicable GOP Senator if there ever was one.
5.56mm
Thanks for the head's up, Molly!
Will this be the entire movie...or bits and pieces?
FOX News rearranging weekend line-up to air terror film, scare jaded voters to polls
Reported by Chrish - November 2, 2006 - 147 commentsFOX News Channel has announced that it will air "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West,"
"(a) frightening new documentary by filmmaker Wayne Kopping ....
What he found, is something FOX News believes every American should know."
The film, which is actually a year old, will be shown four (4) times this weekend to help Republicans scare their base to the polls. Along with plenty of footage accusing Democrats of not getting it (an O'Reilly favorite) and Dick Morris' sickening new anti-Democrat smear commercial, FOX is pulling out all the stops to support their party.
Another article at FOXNews.com says that
"We often hear that 9/11 was a wake-up call for Americans. But have Americans really woken up to the truth of how much radical Islamists want us dead, and the lengths to which they are willing to go to fulfill their mission?
According to a shocking new (sic) documentary called “Obsession,” the free world is still unprepared to face the unwavering commitment of those who have pledged their lives to our destruction. The film states that we suffer not so much from complacency, but from the naïve disbelief that we remain targets of thousands, perhaps millions of radical Muslims around the world."
In other words, we're not scared enough (yet) to turn over ALL our rights to the executive branch. Maybe this'll do it - it's worth a shot, right?
From Libertas, "a forum for conservative thought on film":
"We’ve just received word that this weekend Fox News will be presenting a 40 minute version of the film Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West that had its World Premiere at the 2005 Liberty Film Festival.Obsession was the Best Feature Film winner from last year’s festival, and will be playing on Fox News Saturday Nov. 4th at 8pm/1am/5am, and Sunday Nov. 5th at 10pm.
We’re told these will be Fox News special TV broadcasts, i.e., they redid their lineups to make this happen, and that they will be advertising the show on TV commercials in advance. Following the film will be an interview with director Wayne Kopping."
We’re extremely proud to have done the World Premiere of Obsession, and we’re thrilled that Fox News will be re-arranging its line-up - right at the height of election season - to air this important film. The purpose of The Liberty Film Festival is to discover such films and bring them to the public.
Clearly this is intended to reach the voters who still think that the Bush administration can keep us safer than Democrats and who conflate the war in Iraq with the so-called war on terror. This blatant electioneering by a so-called news channel erases for once and for all any pretense that FOX is fair or balanced - it is right-wing propaganda and nothing more.
Let FOX know what you think of their blatant Republican campaigning at:
comments@foxnews.comThanks to g-mailer Matt for the heads-up.
How about "Obsession: RATs with George Bush."
"...it is a precept of Islam to either convert, subjugate or kill anyone who is not muslim."
We find this appalling and it is. I've not seen anyone point out that this is a precept because Mo knew damn well his "religion" would never be able to thrive if it had to actually compete for mankind's allegiance with Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism.
That is also what islam has in common with socialism/communism. They don't dare give the people a choice either.
self ping to set tivo tomorrow
As I understand it (and this is all second-hand info, I haven't seen either version yet), the FNC version isn't a "show about the show", just a stripped-down version with a lot of portions cut out to fit the time slot and the limits of what Fox suits think is appropriate to air on a basic cable channel. I've also heard it starts out very slow, and you have to stick with it for a bit to get to the good stuff.
I've been waiting for this film to catch an audience, and am very glad FOX is doing this.
I have alerted all my friends to watch it and will stick a few VCR copies with others later.
thanks for the post
Nice to have a reply to the mohamad/islamic love fest thats been repeating on PBS this last few weeks.
Mojo..you are lucky...think of the poor people in New Jersey, that either vote for Tom Kean, Jr...who is a goofball RINO...or Menendez..who is a leftist dem.
And in Rhode Island...where the Republican is Lincoln Chaffee...ugh.
I have seen this Movie several times. A Must see for every American if they dont want to walk around with blinders on as to who our true enemies are. From what I understand not enough theaters in US had the Guts to show it, I am just glad the Obsession Team found a way to have it Aired. The Threat Is Real. It was Americans who saw it the net a few months back,(was pulled off net the next within days)demanding the Media to show this Documentary to the public. It needed to be covered. I think Every American should be required to see it before they pull that Lever on the 7th. Thanks to Fox for having the Guts to show it Now. But then again we all know, not matter when it was to be shown, THEY would still BLAME BUSH. (sarc)

"Let's Roll!"
Thank you so much for letting us know! I do believe I would have missed it. BTTT
Thank you for this.
If you're online Sat....please ping me.
Thanks again.
An absolute MUST SEE documentary. Tape it and share it with everybody you know!
Most of us are aware of that - HOWEVER - To state it that way would mean it would not get aired at all.
Sometimes, ya gotta give a little to get a lot.
I stand all amazed that the lefties haven't sue FOX to keep it from airing all together. My guess is that they may finally have wised up and know that if they start screaming about it - that would be excellent free advertising and many more people would see it...
Put it on your calendar, in your Yahoo! calendar too, write yourself notes and stick them on the fridge, the TV screen, the side of your monitor, your bathroom mirror.
In other words, do NOT miss this!
(And see my post #31 for a simple way of getting the word out to thousands - (remember, the sign the troops made for Kerry started as simple email home from one of them - within 24 hours, it had exploded across the country.)
see post # 31
I understand where you are coming from. Trust me, I understand the threat. How did you see the movie? Was it in a theater, or did you buy it outright? The fact is, I and many like me do not need convincing, we understand the threat. I do not need a movie to reinforce what I already know. The purpose of this movie is to convince people of the threat and it cannot do that unless people watch it. If the only outcome from this movie is, that we who already know the problem get to see conformation of it, then the movie is a failure.
"with host E.D. Hill" awww heck, I was hoping for Julie Banderas.
It warms the cockles of my heart.
They do, however, miss the point. (not surprising. Deductive power is not their strong suit.) They surmise that the modus operandi of FOX is to: "Clearly this is intended to reach the voters who still think that the Bush administration can keep us safer than Democrats ..."
No, dummies, it's to make us feel good that there will be SOME truth on TV this weekend - but the "intended" voters it wants to reach is ALL of them! We are all in the cross-hairs. The vast majority of conservatives understand this. We need the honest democrats to also get the picture...and vote to keep this country and the world safe - and to pound these barbarians back into the sand they crawled up from.
See post #31 and "Let's Roll!"
It's true, only a minority of Muslims commit terrorism, just like only the edge of a bladed weapon cuts.
You still need the rest of the blade to supply strength, weight and stiffness to make the cut.
Aren't you the discerning viewer, isom35. LOL ;)
And this movie will go a long way to illustrate this - but first, you have to lead the horse to water - THEN stick his nose in it.
It's better, in my mind, to let the sleeping dogs lie until you can get your forces educated, trained and ready to fight.
By showing this film, many who haven't yet understood what is really afoot - they will be jolted out of their complacency. They will "get it" - and they will accept it easier and better because it was not forced on them.
And the enemy(ies) will "reap the hurricane."
PING BUMP
Then what the hell has CNN been doing with their "Broken Government" series or MSNBC's wall-to-wall coverage of GOP bashing this week?
I'm thinking the version they're going to air is the 12 minute version.
Thanks for the ping. I'll be out tonight, but the recorder will be ON.

Tuesday night at Bible study, the host passed around a copy of this video, said it had been given to her and had we heard of it.
I will tune in tonight!
Thanks Molly!
You are welcome!
Thanks for the reminder. I will have to watch it tomorrow as our grandson is staying overnight with us tonight.
