Obsession the Movie
Obsession - Radical Islam's War Against the West is a new film that will challenge the way you look at the world. Using images from Arab TV, rarely seen in the West, Obsession reveals an ‘insider's view' of the hatred the Radicals are teaching, their incitement of global jihad, and their goal of world domination. With the help of experts, including 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.

Program to Protect America's Freedom
EPPC's Program to Protect America's Freedom, directed by Senior Fellow (and former U.S. Senator) Rick Santorum, works to identify, study, and heighten awareness of the threats to America and the West from a growing array of anti-Western forces and states that increasingly cast a shadow over our future and that violate religious liberty around the world. The program focuses specifically on communicating threats posed by states which are fueled by Islamic Fascism or an anti-American sentiment. Through our efforts to influence the way members of the media disseminate information about the dangers the West faces, we hope to educate the public about the urgent situation in the world today.

Quilliam Foundation
The Quilliam Foundation, under the guidance of mainstream Muslim scholars, is a specialist think tank based in Britain. The Foundation rejects foreign ideologies of Islamism and Jihadism as aberrant readings of the Islamic tradition and are thus irrelevant and defunct. They uphold Islam as a pluralistic, diverse tradition that can heal the pathology of Islamist extremism.

Bruce Bawer, who has wrestled previously about American fundamentalism (Stealing Jesus) and gay rights (A Place at the Table), finds an equally contentious and compelling subject in the blind eye of European liberalism. Enchanted by the famed tolerance of Amsterdam, Bawer moved to Europe in 1998. But after settling in a predominantly Muslim neighborhood, the author noticed a society that offered "millions in aid, but not a penny in salary." Reviewers find Bawer an eloquent writer with his passion balanced between his American sensibilities and his European residence. (Bookmarks Magazine)
