Synopsis:
Sehr authentisch und auf autobiographischer Grundlage des Drehbuchautors und Regisseurs Konrad Wolf schildert dieser Film die letzten Wochen der Befreiung Deutschlands vom Hitlerfaschismus durch die Rote Armee und mit ihr die Geschichte des jungen deutschstämmigen Leutnants Gregor Hecker, dessen Eltern als er 8 Jahre alt war in die Sowjetunion emigrierten und der nun als Jugendlicher von 19 Jahren wieder in seine ihm oft fremde vom Faschismus geprägte Heimat zurück kehrt. Als Mitglied einer Agitationseinheit mit Lautsprecherwagen versuchen er und seine Kameraden die deutschen Soldaten von der Sinnlosigkeit der Fortsetzung des faschistischen Krieges zu überzeugen und unnötiges Blutvergießen gerade in den letzten Kriegstagen zu verhindern. Auf seinem Weg muss er für einige Tage das Kommando über ein deutsches Dorf übernehmen, als Parlamentär mit seinem Freund und Genossen dem Politkomissar Wadim die deutsche Besatzung der Festung Spandau bei Berlin in den Kasematten der feindlichen Anlage zur Kapitulation überreden und hat viele weitere interessante Zusammentreffen mit Deutschen ganz verschiedener Art.
Zu einem besonders bewegenden Ereignis wird ihm die erste Begenung mit aus einem Konzentrationslager befreiten deutschen Antifaschisten.

Who Are The Israelites? (2011)
Synopsis:
Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
In the mid-eighth century, the ruling elite of the Khazars, a Turkic tribe in Eurasia, converted to Judaism. Their reason was political, not spiritual. By embracing Judaism, the Khazars were able to maintain their independence from rival monotheistic states, the Muslim caliphate and the Christian Byzantine empire. Governed by a version of rabbinical law, the Khazar Jewish kingdom flourished along the Volga basin until the beginning of the second millennium, at which point it dissolved, leaving behind a mystery: Did the Khazar converts to Judaism remain Jews, and, if so, what became of them?
Enter Shlomo Sand. In a new book, "The Invention of the Jewish People," the Tel Aviv University professor of history argues that large numbers of Khazar Jews migrated westward into Ukraine, Poland and Lithuania, where they played a decisive role in the establishment of Eastern European Jewry. The implications are far-reaching: If the bulk of Eastern European Jews are the descendents of Khazars—not the ancient Israelites—then most Jews have no ancestral links to Palestine. Put differently: If most Jews are not Semites, then what justification is there for a Jewish state in the Middle East?
Albert Pike (Illuminati and KKK) Albert Pike was born in Boston 1809, He studied at Harvard, wrote a blueprint of events that would play themselves out in the 20th century, with even more of these events yet to come. It is this blueprint which we believe unseen leaders are following today, knowingly or not, to engineer the planned Third and Final World War.
"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other.
Look at the time line (will post below) and the connection of the Rothschilds starting the Federal Reserve bank, Balfour Declaration "Zionist" (who were funded by Rothschild and the British), also first automobiles (need for oil), and the problems of the middle east.
The Balfour Declaration
In 1917, the British issued the Balfour Declaration. The Declaration was a letter to Jewish financier Lord Rothschild from British foreign secretary Lord Balfour, which stated that the British Government supported the creation of a Jewish homeland, and would aid in its creation. As a result, Jewish immigration to Palestine rose. This angered the Palestinians because they felt like the Jews were invading Palestinian land. Also, Britain did not go over the Balfour Declaration with them, so they did not know what was going on.
Start of the Federal Reserve
Linear connection between the Rothschilds and the Bank of England, and the London banking houses which ultimately control the Federal Reserve Banks through their stockholdings of bank stock and their subsidiary firms in New York. The two principal Rothschild representatives in New York, J. P. Morgan Co., and Kuhn, Loeb & Co. were the firms which set up the Jekyll Island Conference at which the Federal Reserve Act was drafted, who directed the subsequent successful campaign to have the plan enacted into law by Congress, and who purchased the controlling amounts of stock in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in 1914.
The Khazars are impostors: well-suppressed knowledge is emerging about this
war-like tribe of whites that rose to power in Eastern Europe and were
hated by the other whites they conquered due to there severe,
exploitative treatment of them. The Khazars all converted to Judaism as
a political ploy during the Middle Ages. It appears that they learned
all they could fromt he real Hebrews before usurping them, selling them
into slavery (or killing them) and taking over in their place, -using the
corrupted form of Judaism to hide behind while continuing their treachery
right into modern times.
Much of Europe's historical hate for "Jews" is hate for the ruthless Khazars
who continued to be hated in spite of becoming "Jews."
In fact, the word "Jew" originated during the 1700s to
label them! (Hatonn: p3, 17) Counterfeit Blessings - The Anti-Chritst by
Any Name: Khazars by G.C. Hatonn, expoes that the Khazars are the real
"anti-Semites" who have labeled themselves as Zionists and "Jews" to
deceive the world in furthering their own plans for global & political
conquest. (See pages 22-24 in this document) In the 13th Tribe. Arthur

The Satanic Verses Affair: Salman Rushdie ()
Synopsis:
Twenty years ago, novelist Salman Rushdie was a wanted man with a million pound bounty on his head. His novel, The Satanic Verses, had sparked riots across the Muslim world. The ailing religious leader of Iran, the Ayatollah Khomeini, had invoked a little-known religious opinion - a fatwa - and effectively sentenced Rushdie to death. Never before had a novel created an international diplomatic crisis on such a scale, and never before had a foreign Government publicly called for the killing of a private citizen of another country.
This film looks back on the extraordinary events which followed the publication of the book and the ten year campaign to get the fatwa lifted. Interviews with Rushdie's friends and family and testimony from leaders of Britain's Muslim community and the Government reveal the inside story of the affair. Rushdie himself was forced into hiding for nearly ten years.

Sierra Leone Civil War ()
Synopsis:
The Empire in Africa
Sierra Leone 2005
1808 wurde die Halbinsel formell zur britischen Kronkolonie erklärt. Fast ein Jahrhundert später und etwa elf Jahre nach der berühmten Berliner Kongokonferenz zur Aufteilung Afrikas im Jahre 1885 wurde das Hinterland 1896 als britisches Protektorat deklariert. Kurz danach, in dem sogenannten Hut-Tax-War von 1898, erhoben sich die lokalen Fürsten unter der Führung von Bai Bureh und Kai Lundu gegen das britische Protektorat. Etwa sechzig Jahre nach dem Protektoratsabkommen erhielt das Land 1958 die innere Selbstverwaltung und wurde drei Jahre später, am 27. April 1961, ein politisch unabhängiger Staat innerhalb des Commonwealth. Nach Militärputschen 1967 und 1968 wurde 1971 die Republik ausgerufen.
Nach einem Jahrzehnt blutigen Bürgerkrieges ist das Land seit 2000 mit seinem Wiederaufbau und der Aufarbeitung der jüngeren Geschichte beschäftigt. Das Land zählt weiterhin zu den ärmsten Ländern der Welt und nahm beim Human Development Index 2010 den 158. Platz (von 169) ein.
Etwa 64% der Einwohner sind Analphabeten. Während des Bürgerkrieges wurden über 1270 Schulen zerstört und 2001 besuchten nur rund 33% der Schulpflichtigen die Schule.
Die Lebenserwartung von Frauen liegt bei 49 Jahren, die der Männer bei 48 Jahren. Die Säuglingssterblichkeit beträgt 158 pro 1.000 Geburten, die Müttersterblichkeit 2.100 pro 100.000 Geburten.
Etwa 50.000 bis 200.000 Sierra-Leoner (anderen Angaben zufolge 20.000) kamen im Bürgerkrieg um, weitere wurden zu Binnenvertriebenen oder flohen in die benachbarten Länder.
Die RUF machte es sich zum Markenzeichen, bei Überfällen auf Dörfer Zivilisten die Gliedmaßen abzutrennen. Als Folge dieser Vorgehensweise gibt es etwa 20.000 Amputees.
Das Land ist reich an Bodenschätzen wie Bauxit, Braunkohle, Chrom, Diamanten, Eisenerz, Gold, Graphit, Columbit, Mangan, Molybdän, Platin, Rutil (Titanoxid) und Rhodium.
Etwa 70 % der Bevölkerung lebt in extremer Armut und muss mit weniger als einem US-Dollar am Tag auskommen. Die ehemalige britische Kolonie belegt seit Jahren den letzten Platz auf der Liste des Entwicklungsprogramms der Vereinten Nationen, gleichbedeutend mit dem Status des am wenigsten entwickelten von 179 untersuchten Ländern (siehe auch Least Developed Countries).

The Empire in Africa
Sierra Leone 2005
1808 wurde die Halbinsel formell zur britischen Kronkolonie erklärt. Fast ein Jahrhundert später und etwa elf Jahre nach der berühmten Berliner Kongokonferenz zur Aufteilung Afrikas im Jahre 1885 wurde das Hinterland 1896 als britisches Protektorat deklariert. Kurz danach, in dem sogenannten Hut-Tax-War von 1898, erhoben sich die lokalen Fürsten unter der Führung von Bai Bureh und Kai Lundu gegen das britische Protektorat. Etwa sechzig Jahre nach dem Protektoratsabkommen erhielt das Land 1958 die innere Selbstverwaltung und wurde drei Jahre später, am 27. April 1961, ein politisch unabhängiger Staat innerhalb des Commonwealth. Nach Militärputschen 1967 und 1968 wurde 1971 die Republik ausgerufen.

An essay on love. For Gopal and Pran, two close friends, love means two very different things. Gopal thinks it is like the wind, the clouds, always passing and never turning back. For Pran, it is unflinching devotion, a craving that consumes the soul.

For the other, it is immortal, it is sacrifice. Who is right? Two simple village belles, Neelam and Reshma help find the truth.
This film, made more than half a century ago, raises disturbing questions that are perhaps much more relevant in today's age of porn and free sex.

Baiju Bawra (1952)
Baiju Bawra is an award-winning 1952 Hindi movie directed by Vijay Bhatt. It stars Bharat Bhushan and Meena Kumari.
The movie is based on the legend of Baiju Bawra from the days of Mughal Emperor Akbar in India. Baiju (Bhushan) is the son of a musician who also grows up to be a musician. He comes to believe that Tansen, the famed musician at the court of Akbar, is responsible for his father's death. The movie then follows Baiju's attempt to avenge his father's death by challenging Tansen to a musical duel.
The film was both a commercial and critical success and catapulted both its lead actors into stardom. Meena Kumari went on to win the first-ever Filmfare Best Actress Award in 1954, the first of four Best Actress trophies she won in her career.The film's music director, Naushad, also received the inaugural Filmfare Best Music Director Award for the song "Tu Ganga Ki Mauj"; this was Naushad's first and only Filmfare Award win.
The plot centered around music, so it was a necessity that the movie's soundtrack be outstanding. Renowned Bollywood music director Naushad and lyricist Shakeel Badayuni created memorable songs for the movie, with all but one being based on Hindustani classical melodies (ragas). Esteemed playback singers Mohammad Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar, and Shamshad Begum, and renowned classical vocalists Amir Khan and D. V. Paluskar lent their voices to the score.
Amir Khan was a consultant for the music. The result was a critically acclaimed movie soundtrack. Famous songs from the movie include "O Duniya Ke Rakhwale" (based on Raga Darbari), "Tu Ganga Ki Mouj" (based on Raga Bhairavi), "Mohe Bhool Gaye Sanwariya" (based on Raga Bhairav with traces of Raga Kalingda), "Man Tarpat Hari Darshan Ko Aaj" (based on Raga Malkauns), "Aaj Gaawat Man Mero" (Raga Desi), and Jhoole Mein Pawan Ki Aayi Bahar (based on Raga Pilu). Naushad won the Filmfare Award for Best Music Director, his first and only win.
The film also established Mohammad Rafi as the top playback singer in Hindi films, a position he held until roughly 1971, and regained in 1977. The songs Rafi sang for the film, including "Man Tarpat Hari Darshan Ko Aaj" and the most famous "O Duniya Ke Rakhwale", went on to become smash hits.

Mahal (1949)
This was Kamal Amrohi's directorial debut. This was Bombay Talkies' greatest hit movie. Unfortunately, it couldn't save the company, which closed down in 1954. This
was the first Hindi ghost (suspense) film to have a song which works as a
leitmotif through out the film. This became a trend and was followed in
other suspense/ghost films such as Madhumati, Woh Kaun Thi and Mera Saaya.
During the recording of the film music, a man carelessly said that if the film didn't prove to be a hit it would be because of the music. When the film was released, however, the music was extremely popular, and music director Khemchand Prakash received letters from all over India. Even though he was ill at the time, Prakash went to that man's house and made him read all those letters.

Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa (1993)
Synopsis:
Sunil (Shahrukh Khan) is a lost cause in his father Vinayak's (Anjan Srivastav) mind. Sunil and his friends have started a band. When Anna (Suchitra Krishnamoorthi), his childhood friend, joins the group, everyone is excited, especially Sunil, who secretly loves Anna. The only other person knowing this is his sister (Sadia Siddiqui). As Anna joins the group, they start hunting opportunities to make it big in the music world. Chris (Deepak Tijori), a friend and band member, is Sunil's antithesis. Chris is the son of an affluent couple, in contrast to Sunil, who is son of a middle-class man. Chris has a better academic record, while Sunil just faked his marksheet to hide the fact that he failed.
In short, any girl's parents would choose Chris over Sunil. Anna's father does just that. Sunil tries to change his image but when he learns that Anna loves Chris, he is devastated. Anna and Chris start hanging out. A jealous Sunil starts misguiding them against each other. He succeeds in creating a rift between the two but eventually gets caught. Anna slaps him and walks away. Gradually, the duo forgive Sunil, but they don't realize why he did this. Sunil's fortune takes a turn once again when Chris's parents refuse the marriage of Chris and Anna, because Anna is from a lower class. Chris has to leave Anna devastated. Sunil consoles Anna in this period. Anna has no other option but to marry Sunil. The wedding is fixed. Sunil is happy, until he realizes that Anna still loves Chris. Sunil decides to re-unite them. The Sullivan's too realize their mistake. Chris and Anna's wedding is announced: Sunil gets to be the best man.
As Chris and Anna are about to exchange rings, Chris's ring slips out of his hand. Everybody starts searching for it. Whoever gets the ring can claim Anna's hand. So, Sunil gets one more chance. Sunil spots the ring but feigns ignorance. Chris finally "finds" the ring and marries Anna. Just after the wedding, Sunil is shown packing his bags and leaving his father's home to find his own destiny.

Sunil (Shahrukh Khan) is a lost cause in his father Vinayak's (Anjan Srivastav) mind. Sunil and his friends have started a band. When Anna (Suchitra Krishnamoorthi), his childhood friend, joins the group, everyone is excited, especially Sunil, who secretly loves Anna. The only other person knowing this is his sister (Sadia Siddiqui). As Anna joins the group, they start hunting opportunities to make it big in the music world. Chris (Deepak Tijori), a friend and band member, is Sunil's antithesis. Chris is the son of an affluent couple, in contrast to Sunil, who is son of a middle-class man. Chris has a better academic record, while Sunil just faked his marksheet to hide the fact that he failed.
In short, any girl's parents would choose Chris over Sunil. Anna's father does just that. Sunil tries to change his image but when he learns that Anna loves Chris, he is devastated. Anna and Chris start hanging out. A jealous Sunil starts misguiding them against each other. He succeeds in creating a rift between the two but eventually gets caught. Anna slaps him and walks away. Gradually, the duo forgive Sunil, but they don't realize why he did this. Sunil's fortune takes a turn once again when Chris's parents refuse the marriage of Chris and Anna, because Anna is from a lower class. Chris has to leave Anna devastated. Sunil consoles Anna in this period. Anna has no other option but to marry Sunil. The wedding is fixed. Sunil is happy, until he realizes that Anna still loves Chris. Sunil decides to re-unite them. The Sullivan's too realize their mistake. Chris and Anna's wedding is announced: Sunil gets to be the best man.
As Chris and Anna are about to exchange rings, Chris's ring slips out of his hand. Everybody starts searching for it. Whoever gets the ring can claim Anna's hand. So, Sunil gets one more chance. Sunil spots the ring but feigns ignorance. Chris finally "finds" the ring and marries Anna. Just after the wedding, Sunil is shown packing his bags and leaving his father's home to find his own destiny. Vinayak, who knows the background story, makes up with his son, stating that he is proud to be Sunil's father. Sunil is seen walking in moonlight, where he meets a girl (Juhi Chawla). Some time later, Sunil and the girl are seen walking in the moonlight and talking merrily.

Then Champak finds out that Bunty has molested the play's heroine, Anjali, and punishes him. The group gets a contract to stage 30 plays in Britain, however, on the day of the departure, Anjali opts out, leaving Champak no alternative but to travel without a heroine, but hoping to recruit one while in Britain. Upon arrival, Babla sets about to find a suitable heroine from the Indian population, but Bunty beats him to it and recruits a woman named Munni. Babla has his suitcase switched by another containing heroin, and as a result both men end being suspects by the local Police, whose Commissioner is an Indian, J.D. Mehra. Then both Munni and Bunty fall in love with each other. Then Munni has an accident with a vehicle and ends up in a hospital. When she regains her senses, she tells everyone that she is Nisha Chauhan, and is married to Vikram, who lives in Liverpool. Vikram arrives, thanks everyone, and takes his wife, who has suicidal tendencies, home. A few days later, Bunty receives a phone call from a frantic Nisha, who tells him to come over immediately. He, along with Champak and Babla, arrive there to find her body in flames. She is declared dead in hospital. Now the troupe is on the hunt for another heroine for their play - when the unexplainable happens - as Bunty claims that he saw Nisha.

Migranten in Deutschland - Integration oder Kapitulation? ()
Synopsis:
Ausschnitte aus "Migranten in Deutschland - Integration oder Kapitulation?"
"Unter den Linden", Phoenix, Oktober 2009
Neuer Streit um Einwanderung - Integration oder Kapitulation?
Ein fünfseitiges Interview des Bundesbank-Vorstandsmitglieds Thilo Sarrazin in der Zeitschrift "Lettre International" hat eine neue innenpolitische Debatte von ungeheurer Wucht entfacht: Plötzlich steht das Thema Integration wieder auf der Tagesordnung. Lange Zeit war es in den Hintergrund gerückt und immer nur kurzzeitig diskutiert worden, etwa wenn es Probleme mit ausländischen Straftätern gab. Doch dieses Mal hat die Diskussion eine andere Qualität: Sarrazin, ehemaliger Berliner Finanzsenator und SPD-Mitglied, hat in mehr als deutlichen Worten die Integrationspolitik kritisiert, sie als in Teilen gescheitert beurteilt - und vor allem zwei Einwanderergruppen, Türken und Araber, als teilweise nicht integrationswillig gebrandmarkt. Neu ist vor allem die Wortwahl Sarrazins, die Kritiker als rechtsextremistisch und fremdenfeindlich bezeichnen. Neu ist aber auch die große Anzahl von Unterstützern für die persönlichen Einschätzungen des SPD-Mitglieds Sarrazin: Wenn auch der Tonfall nicht angemessen sei, habe er ja in der Sache Recht, lautet die wohl am häufigsten gehörte Zustimmung.

Schleier und Scharia: Gehört der Islam zu Deutschland? ()
Synopsis:
Menschen bei Maischberger: "Schleier und Scharia: Gehört der Islam zu Deutschland?"
Alice Schwarzer
Deutschlands streitbarste Journalistin kritisiert in ihrem neuen Buch 'Die große Verschleierung' eine falsche Toleranz gegenüber dem Islam: 'Das islamische Kopftuch, das die Haare von Frauen vollständig als sündig verdeckt, weil Männer sich sonst wie Tiere auf sie stürzen, hat längst seine Unschuld verloren. Es ist die Flagge des Islamismus.' Die EMMA-Herausgeberin fordert ein uneingeschränktes Kopftuchverbot für Schülerinnen.
Joachim Herrmann
Der bayerische Innenminister kritisiert die Äußerungen von Bundespräsident Wulff. 'Es gibt überhaupt keinen Anlass, den Islam in unsere Werteordnung zu integrieren.' Statt Integration hätte Deutschland dann 'Multi-Kulti'. Deutschland aber solle 'nicht den Islam integrieren, sondern seine kulturelle Identität bewahren'.

Der grüne Bundestagsabgeordnete setzte sich mehrfach dafür ein, einen muslimischen Festtag zum Feiertag zu erklären. 'Ein gesetzlicher Feiertag wäre ein gutes Zeichen, dass wir den Islam als Weltreligion ernst nehmen', sagt Hans-Christian Ströbele, der Thilo Sarrazin im letzten Jahr vorhielt, mit seinen Äußerungen über 'Kopftuchmädchen' und 'Importbräute' rassistische Vorurteile zu schüren.

Die türkischstämmige Autorin und Filmemacherin ('Krieg im Klassenzimmer') kritisiert islamische Parallelgesellschaften in Deutschland und sieht die Integration skeptisch: 'Je ungebildeter ein Migrant ist, umso enger ist er den Traditionen seines Herkunftslandes verhaftet. Gerade darum sind viele Türken geprägt von einem archaischen Menschenbild, das mit der Idee der Grundrechte in diesem Land nur schwer in Einklang zu bringen ist', sagt Güner Yasemin Balci.
Zehra Yilmaz.
Die Bildungs- und Integrationsbeauftragte an der größten Moschee Deutschlands kritisiert das Kopftuchverbot für Muslima in Erziehungsberufen. Ihr Lehramtsstudium gab die Duisburgerin deswegen auf. 'Ich habe nicht angenommen, dass mein Glaube oder meine Kopfbedeckung meine berufliche Karriere behindern würden', sagt die zweifache Mutter, die sich für den Dialog der Religionen einsetzt. Im Alltag auf der Straße fühlt sich Zehra Yilmaz häufig diskriminiert.

Der Bürgermeister von Berlin-Neukölln warnt vor einer zunehmenden Deutschenfeindlichkeit der Muslime in Deutschland. 'Es gibt muslimische Eltern, die ihre Kinder auffordern, sich von Deutschen fernzuhalten, weil die ganze Gesellschaft sündig sei. Ich vermute, dass sich 20 bis 30 Prozent der muslimischen Migranten in Distanz zu Demokratie und Toleranz befinden und westliche Lebensart als Sünde abtun.' (Senderinfo)

Menschen bei Maischberger: "Schleier und Scharia: Gehört der Islam zu Deutschland?"
Alice Schwarzer
Deutschlands streitbarste Journalistin kritisiert in ihrem neuen Buch 'Die große Verschleierung' eine falsche Toleranz gegenüber dem Islam: 'Das islamische Kopftuch, das die Haare von Frauen vollständig als sündig verdeckt, weil Männer sich sonst wie Tiere auf sie stürzen, hat längst seine Unschuld verloren. Es ist die Flagge des Islamismus.' Die EMMA-Herausgeberin fordert ein uneingeschränktes Kopftuchverbot für Schülerinnen.
Joachim Herrmann
Der bayerische Innenminister kritisiert die Äußerungen von Bundespräsident Wulff. 'Es gibt überhaupt keinen Anlass, den Islam in unsere Werteordnung zu integrieren.' Statt Integration hätte Deutschland dann 'Multi-Kulti'. Deutschland aber solle 'nicht den Islam integrieren, sondern seine kulturelle Identität bewahren'.

"In der heutigen Zeit bedroht durch ständige Kriege, Gewalt und Zerstörung der Umwelt, erscheint der Buddhismus als ein alternativer Weg der Erkenntniss, der für friedliche Koexistenz und die Verbundenheit aller Lebensformen eintritt.
Und für die Idee, dass alle Hoffnung für die Zukunft davon abhäng, ein vernünftiges Gleichgewicht zwischen den materiellen und spirituellen Interessen einzuhalten."

Obsession ()
AKA:
Radical Islam
Synopsis:
Obsession - Radical Islam's War Against the West is a new documentary film that will challenge the way you look at the world. The is the full version of Obsession the movie.
Almost 70 years ago, Europe found itself at war with one of the most sinister figures in modern history: Adolf Hitler. When the last bullet of World War II was fired, over 50 million people were dead, and countless countries were both physically and economically devastated. Hitlers bloody struggle sought to forge the world anew, in the crucible of Nazi values. How could such a disaster occur? How could the West have overlooked the evil staring it in the face, for so long, before standing forcefully against it?
Today, we find ourselves confronted by a new enemy, also engaged in a violent struggle to transform our world. As we sleep in the comfort of our homes, a new evil rises against us. A new menace is threatening, with all the means at its disposal, to bow Western Civilization under the yoke of its values. That enemy is Radical Islam.
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 of Radical Islam is real.
Islam is being hijacked by radical extremists, who actively seek to destroy the shared values we stand for. The world should be very concerned.
This is a documentary film about Radical Islamic terror. A dangerous ideology, fuelled by religious hatred. It's important to remember, most Muslims are peaceful and do not support terror. This is not a film about them.

Faith and Fate (2009)
Synopsis:
"Faith and Fate" is a documentary telling the story of the Jews in the 20th Century.
The first Episode is called, "The Dawn of the Century" and covers 1900 - 1910.
This episode introduces the uniqueness of Jewish history in the 20th century within the
context of world history. At the turn of the 20th century, Jews were scattered across the
globe, representing only ¼ of one percent of the worlds population. It was a time of
empires, imperial rule and colonial expansionism. In Russia the masses, including the
Jews, lived in dire poverty which was compounded by grassroots antisemitism. In 1905
the Russian masses revolted and there was a general strike. On Bloody Sunday the
Czar responded with force. The Czar did not abdicate until 1917, which is typically the
date given for the second Russian Revolution, which, in turn, led to increased pogroms
against the Jews. The pogroms and the economic conditions forced approximately
40% of Jewish population to leave the Russian Empire and go to Western countries
including the United States and to Palestine and other countries as far away as South
Africa and Australia.
Emigration and the Enlightenment presented Jews with the dilemma and opportunity to
maintain or reject their traditional Jewish upbringing, and many decided to forgo their
traditional Judaism and blend in with their larger non-Jewish society. Within the
traditional Jewish world, change was occurring as well, with the rise and acceptance of
the Mussar Movement, an ethical approach to Judaism. Because Jews were not
allowed into institutions of higher education in Eastern Europe, most of them went to
study in yeshivas to sharpen their intellect. The traditional yeshiva, unintentionally,
became a breeding ground for all philosophies, Jewish and secular alike. Zionism
grew as a national movement, and was led by secular Jews antithetical to traditional
Judaism. While most rabbis rejected Zionism and its leaders, because of their
nontraditional beliefs, a minority of rabbis developed religious Zionism, which combined
traditional Judaism with Zionist philosophy. The Old Yishuv Jews, who had settled in
Palestine in the late 1800s, were committed to traditional Judaism and rejected
secular, nationalistic ideas of the New Yishuv Zionists.
The Sephardic Jews living in Moslem and Arab countries at the turn of the 20th
Century maintained their own rich Jewish traditions and heritage, which often differed
from those of the Ashkenazim. There was relative peace within the Jewish community
and among the leadership in these Arab and Moslem countries, and although life was
sometimes difficult, these Sephardic Jews did not experience, by and large, pogroms
or the influences of the Enlightenment or Reform Judaism.
In Europe, Jews were the leaders of the Labor and Socialist movements and
spearheaded the establishment of labor unions in America. The challenge of
assimilation in the United States was the greatest difficulty confronting Jewish
immigrants. Attempts were made to stem the tide. Reform Judaism became a symbol
of acceptance into modern American society and Dr. Solomon Schechter initiated the
Universal Synagogue movement which became Conservative Judaism. Also
Sephardic and Ashkenazic Jewish immigrants had to find their respective places within
the Jewish community and in their new host country, the United States, as well..
A small, strong group of American Jewish immigrants managed to cling to their Jewish
traditions and adapt themselves to the new reality in America. Meanwhile, for Jews
around the world, with the threat of WWI looming, the imperial race for supremacy was
escalating.
