Fox "24" executive producer caves to CAIR!

I can't believe this but Howard Gordon, the executive producer of Fox TV's "24", has asked the website which features the anti-Islamic terrorist film "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West", to remove his name as a endorser of the documentary.  Gordon, apparently, has even allowed CAIR, an outgrowth of the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas infrastructure in America, to release his statement!

CAIR characterized the film, in their press release, as "anti-Muslim" which is a false statement.  The film often uses the words and actions of Islamic terrorists.  It clearly separates the religion of Islam from political and violent Islam whose global reach is unprecedented in history!  Throughout their press release, CAIR also conveniently leaves off the full title of the film, you know, the descriptive part that says "Radical Islam's War Against the West".

CAIR's efforts against this documentary goes hand-in-hand with their ongoing campaign to discourage the use of words like Islamic terrorist or Islamism by any public official in America.  My God, are you paying attention here? 

Isn't this how Islamic countries manage their citizens where all they can say about Islam is "peace"? 

Shame on Fox TV's Howard Gordon:

The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) released a statement by Gordon in which he said:

"After being contacted by a number of people whose opinions I respect and after reviewing Obsession with their criticisms and concerns in mind, I have asked the film makers to remove my endorsement from the Obsession website and from any future promotional materials. While I remain committed to the film's essential message - that the hate-mongering promoted by radical Islamism presents a real threat to western values of tolerance and pluralism - I also appreciate that the goal of co-existence and tolerance is not being served by films like Obsession."

CAIR welcomed Gordon’s statement and noted that others are withdrawing their support for the film that many commentators have called anti-Muslim “propaganda.”

“We commend Mr. Gordon for recognizing the harm caused to our society by intentionally inflammatory and divisive films such as ‘Obsession,’” said CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad. “As public outrage grows over this hate-filled production, people of conscience are spontaneously withdrawing their support.”

Not only did Awad speak under the Hezbollah flag in 2002, pictured here, but he also attended a meeting with Hamas members America and he is praising Gordon?

You can watch "Obsession" on YouTube and decide for yourself how objective the film is or isn't.  It's in a ten part video series so you can listen/watch it at your convenience. 

Don't miss Michael Moore's statement that there is no terrorists threat on video 6 around the 2:53 minute mark.

Listen to the words carefully in this documentary.

How pathetic. I'm trying to spread the word about this excellent film, and it's cowardly acts such as this that infuriate me even more. It's an incredibly even-handed and fair movie, and to say that is is propaganda and hate-speech is ludicrous. Those who make those baseless comments have probably not even watched the film!

I, for one will never watch "24" again. What a stupid move.

"24" has a history of "caving" to Islamic groups. Though they have included Islamic terrorists in some arcs, as you move into the season you learn - surprise! - there are white guys behind the plots. In one episode, Bauer even killed his brother in arms to protect a "former" terrorist now allegedly on "our" side.
