McCain group sending anti-Islan DVDs to homes

[north_malaysian]

supporting those who kill muslims ie israel etc

But majority of Muslims that are dead on daily basis are being killed by fellow Muslims worldwide.... shouldn't we solve this problem first...

 

[doorster]

I'm impressed when McCain corrected an ignorant lady when she said that Obama is an Arab. An Arab?:giggling: She's been listening to lots of craps from the neo-cons...;D

But he also got booed from the people when he said cool things about Obama... what a freaking crowds...

he was abused by his own supporters, that should also give people a clue about something else that was alleged earlier on in this thread by some

McCain booed by supporters after trying to calm angry anti-Obama chants at Minnesota rally

Muslim Children Gassed at Dayton Mosque after "Obsession" DVD Hits Ohio

(From the diaries -- kos)

On Friday, September 26, the end of a week in which thousands of copies of Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West -- the fear-mongering, anti-Muslim documentary being distributed by the millions in swing states via DVDs inserted in major newspapers and through the U.S. mail -- were distributed by mail in Ohio, a "chemical irritant" was sprayed through a window of the Islamic Society of Greater Dayton, where 300 people were gathered for a Ramadan prayer service. The room that the chemical was sprayed into was the room where babies and children were being kept while their mothers were engaged in prayers. This, apparently, is what the scare tactic political campaigning of John McCain's supporters has led to -- Americans perpetrating a terrorist attack against innocent children on American soil.


* Chris Rodda's diary ::

I read the story as reported by the Dayton Daily News, but this was after I had received an email written by a friend of some of the victims of these American terrorists. The matter of fact news report in the Dayton paper didn't come close to conveying the horrific impact of this unthinkable act like the email I had just read, so I asked the email's author for permission to share what they had written. The author was with one of the families from the mosque -- a mother and two of the small children who were in the room that was gassed -- the day after the attack occurred.

"She told me that the gas was sprayed into the room where the babies and children were being kept while their mothers prayed together their Ramadan prayers. Panicked mothers ran for their babies, crying for their children so they could flee from the gas that was burning their eyes and throats and lungs. She grabbed her youngest in her arms and grabbed the hand of her other daughter, moving with the others to exit the building and the irritating substance there.

"The paramedic said the young one was in shock, and gave her oxygen to help her breathe. The child couldn't stop sobbing.

"This didn't happen in some far away place -- but right here in Dayton, and to my friends. Many of the Iraqi refugees were praying together at the Mosque Friday evening. People that I know and love.

"I am hurt and angry. I tell her this is NOT America. She tells me this is not Heaven or Hell -- there are good and bad people everywhere.

"She tells me that her daughters slept with her last night, the little one in her arms and sobbing throughout the night.

She tells me she is afraid, and will never return to the mosque, and I wonder what kind of country is this where people have to fear attending their place of worship?

The children come into the room, and tell me they want to leave America and return to Syria, where they had fled to from Iraq. They say they like me ..., and other American friends -- but they are too afraid and want to leave.

Should a 6 and 7 year old even have to contemplate the safety of their living situation?

Did the anti-Muslim video circulating in the area have something to do with this incident, or is that just a bizarre coincidence? Who attacks women and children?

What am I supposed to say to them? My words can't keep them safe from what is nothing less than terrorism, American style.

Isn't losing loved ones, their homes, jobs, possessions and homeland enough? Is there no place where they can be safe?

"She didn't want me to leave her tonight, but it was after midnight, and I needed to get home and write this to my friends.

Tell me -- tell me -- what am I supposed to say to them?"


When acting as a representative of Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), the 501(c)3 non-profit organization that I work for, I cannot engage in political activities. The distribution of Obsession,however, although a political campaign scheme, clearly crosses over into the mission of MRFF. So, I'm going to make two statements here -- one in my capacity as MRFF's Research Director, and another as an individual whose disgust at the vile campaign tactics of John McCain's supporters completely boiled over when I opened up the email about children being gassed.


My statement as MRFF's Research Director:

The presidential campaign edition of the Obsession DVD, currently being distributed by the Clarion Fund, carries the endorsement of the chair of the counter-terrorism department of the U.S. Naval War College, using the name and authority of an official U.S. military institution not only to validate an attack the religion of Islam, but to influence a political campaign. For these reasons, this endorsement has been included in MRFF's second lawsuit against the Department of Defense, which was filed on September 25 in the Federal District Court in Kansas.

My opinion as an individual and thoroughly appalled human being:

John McCain has a moral obligation to publicly censure the Clarion Fund, the organization that produced Obsession and is distributing the DVDs; to denounce the inflammatory, anti-Muslim message of Obsession; and to do everything in his power to stop any further campaign activities by his supporters that have the potential to incite violence.

How many Muslim countries condemning this attack? :grumbling

I'm not sure how many are aware of it; the story doesn't seem to have received much publicity. I totally agree with Rodda's opinion, though.

In the UK there is legislation that could actually get people prosecuted for circulating such a DVD if it had the potential to incite religiously motivated violence - which the story proves this one clearly has. Is there anything similar in the US, or can people incite and hate-monger as much as they like under the auspices of "free speech"?

In Malaysia, the DVD distributor can be detained without trial up to two years for causing disharmony between different groups...

This thread has served it's purpose, and is now subject to closure.

Also, all off topic responses were deleted as well. In the future, please do not refer to people as ''racists'' or use the term ''nigga'', as they are both very offensive.

It is even reaching here in the rural mid-west. I got a phone call from an acquaintance in Faith, South Dakota telling me everybody in Faith got it in todays mail. I now been invited by a group of Mormons in Faith to come address them and discuss ways such anti-religious campaigning can be fought against. McCain did not win any fans in Faith over this, just the opposite the people there see it as an attack on religious freedom.

I also got an invite to discuss it with the mayor of Faith on Monday. While I am there I am going to try to speak with the Tribal Council for the Lakota Sioux at the Cheyenne River Reservation.

I will let you all know how it comes out on Wed or Thurs.

Just an update:

i was nearly a week late getting into Faith SD, I got here yesterday. I did get to speak with some of the Mormons last night. We final came to the consensus the best way to handle stuff like that is to trash can it and do our best to keep from publicising it.

I spoke with the mayor by phone. It turned out to be not as much of a problem as was expected. The only thing seen is the people are now quite polarized and anti-McCain.

I will be going out to the reservation later this week to meet with the few Muslims there. The big concern they have is getting ready for winter and being certain they have enough food to last through the winter once the snow hits. The snows will probably begin in just a week or two and by the end of November some will already be snowed in and isolated until the spring thaws. Life on the rex can be very brutal in the winter.
