    “I’m not entirely convinced that the question of breaking down stereotypes is the closest alligator to the canoe, personally.”

    The alligators are envious of our canoes. That’s why they attack. Or maybe we’re the gators and they are the canoe. Whoever they are. And whatever we means.

    Maybe Jim Moran, the modern day Daniel Webster, can explain it to me.

    Obsession is the film produced by Theo van Gough that caused his death by an Islamic radical.
    This is also the film that caused Ayaan Hirsi Ali to flee the Dutch state, where she was a member of Parliment, and live under security protection here in the United States. To that end, I think it is a film that everyone should see.
    After all, someone was willing to murder for it.
    I have tried to find a copy of it on the internet to no end. Anyone that knows where I can view this film, please leave a link in these comments.

    O.K. I think I got my movies mixed up. Obsession is just another movie that takes MEMRI footage and analysis it. Sorry…
    The message remains the same.

    The movie I was thinking of was “Submission”.

    Part 1 of “Submission” can be found here, and I believe there’s a link to part II there as well, although I didn’t instantly see it.

    What’s interesting is that no one would complain that they are showing white supremists in a bad light if they recorded all their events and showed the danger of said white supremists.

    Of course, if I gathered them into one documentary and focused on their support of immigration law and border fences you could:

    a) draw the conclusion that everyone after border fences was a white supremist (if you were an idiot).

    but, more important and more likely…

    b) I could make you believe that white supremists groups were very dangerous,violent organizations that represented an imminent danger to our liberal lifestyle.

    interesting, they are dangerous, they are violent and, wherever their groups are, they do represent an imminent danger to the people living in those towns. However, we are hardly likely to be over run by white supremists who take control of the government or any other territory within the US.

    Then again, if you want to highlight a behavior, how do you quatify it and qualify it against other behaviors when doing so would totally ruin the entire point of high-lighting the behavior?

    Maybe we should tell people the percentage of the city’s population that are actually armed robbers compared to the number of people that are not. The only reason you would do that is to make people believe that they are relatively safe from armed robbery. thus, they don’t have to worry about locking their doors or getting an alarm system to reduce the odds.

    No one would tell another person that.

    Why would we turn our faces from dangerous idealogues? So we can pretend it doesn’t exist?

    Reminds me of this: “Radical Islam: Terror in Its Own Words”. E.D. Hill has been hosting a news documentary on Fox which highlights this documentary- revealing and frightening for those who don’t get it.

    Nothing in it YOU don’t already know of course. Just seeing the faces….you know, makes it more personal. Did for me.
