Controversial DVD On Radical Islam Distributed As Newspaper Insert

Jews on First reported yesterday that a recently formed group called Clarion Fund is spending millions of dollars distributing the DVD Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West as an insert in some 70 national and major city newspapers, particularly in swing states in the Presidential election. Clarion also distributed copies at the recent Republican and Democratic national conventions. The DVD has been criticized as anti-Muslim. An op-ed last February by Jason Leopold reviews the debate over the video. (See prior related posting.)
