Anti-Islamic Media
Would you ever expect an internationally respected newspaper like the New York Times to promote anti-Islamic propaganda? Neither would I. Believe it or not the New York Times and other national newspapers like the Charlotte Observer are doing just that. The newspapers are being delivered with a free DVD called "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West”. Would they ever deliver a newspaper with a DVD about the Irish Republican Army? Simply put, No. I've never even heard of a newspaper doing anything like that- sending a free DVD out to its readers. There is definitely something going on that we're not being told and whether it's to sway elections, or just incite hate against Islam, I feel like we need to know who is behind this and why.

I feel the same way. It just seems wierd how the newspapers want the public to feel or think a certain way. But maybe that is exactly what the media is trying to do.
In Britain, they have been giving away a "free" DVD (sometimes it involves some fine print) in the Saturday or Sunday edition for a few years now. And to be honest, I don't see how this is different than a newspaper column decrying Islamic extremists. And have you seen the documentary--I've earlier watched the first 3/4, and they do stipulate "Most Muslims are peaceful." Its a case study into extremists. "Anti-Islamic" is an awfully broad brush to use.
If you think a one-line disclaimer is enough to prove that the DVD is not about hate you should watch this
