Today, we are confronted by a new enemy, engaged in a violent struggle to transform the world with all the means at its disposal. A peaceful religion is being hijacked by a dangerous foe, who seeks to destroy the shared values we stand for. Radical Islam is threatening to bow Western Civilization under the yoke of its values.

Using images from Arab TV, rarely seen in the West,Obsession, a 77-minute documentary, reveals an ‘insider's view' of the hatred the Radicals are teaching, their incitement of global jihad, and their goal of world domination. Featuring interviews with Sir Martin Gilbert, Professor Robert Wistrich, Dr. Khaleel Mohammed, Daniel Pipes, and Alan Dershowitz – as well as first-hand accounts from a former PLO terrorist, a Nazi youth commander, and the daughter of a martyred guerilla leader – the film shows, clearly, that the threat is real. How long can the West overlook the evil staring it in the face before standing forcefully against it?
