I don't know half of you half as well as I should like;
and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
I don't usually watch documentaries; they tend to be either extremely wildly political, or just plain boring. Today, though, I took the advice of one talk show host named Glenn Beck and I watched a film named "Obsession," which documents radical Islam. I don't think I could venture to go into all that was discussed, it might take a second, third, or fourth viewing before I can even take it all in, but in short it showed the indoctrination of Muslims around the world by radicals. The entire system of the radical world is to raise up jihadists so that they can one day destroy the west.
The film moves shows everything from a suicide bomber graduation, to teaching in schools, television broadcasts, to propaganda techniques, to scenes which so closely resemble that which came out of Nazi Germany that you would think they were from the 1930's. None of it was from the 1930s though, it was from today and what I found most compelling was the children. I wish I could show you the entire documentary, but it wouldn't be legal and no one would watch it, but I have separated out a few clips of what this indoctrination is doing to the children, and it is those children who grow up to wreak havoc on the Western world.
I implore you take these things to heart, this war is against terror, it is against those who carry it out, and those terrorists believe completely in what they're doing. We can't talk them out of it, we can't make treaties with them that they'll keep, and we can't just sit by and do nothing while they try to take the world over one bomber at a time. I know you're wondering what you can do and perhaps it's not much, but even if you become slightly more educated it would help, and for Pete's sake if you're over 18 go out and vote, vote for the person who is going to stand up for this nation's defense. Nothing else may matter soon enough find out who's going to keep this country safe and vote for them, no matter who it is.
clips from "Obsession" - go watch it if you can
You really end that post very well. I read the last paragraph after watching the film (I think it belongs after the clip) and it was pretty...moving. You really should be a writer. However, that is not the purpose of your post. I agree, the news reports the useless..."who's scandal" "who's affair" "which attress is dating whose father"...blah blah blah....and the important, well, that doesn't sell now does it.
Just letting you know...it's been a month, and world war 3 hasn't happened yet....
:P
lol - hey I'm no prophet, just making guesses - and saying that it would happen during ramadan was only a quick guess, it could happen any time ;-)
I know this is a little late, but I just caught this post and watched the clip, and . . . wow. The clip, the post, the challenge -- all something to think about, certainly.
