Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Muslim Group Calls for FEC Probe on DVD Distribution

HeadlineSep 25, 2008

A leading American Muslim group is calling for a Federal Elections Commission probe into a controversial DVD they say denigrates Islam. The video is called “Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West.” It’s been distributed to some 28 million homes, mostly in battleground election states. The Council for American-Islamic Relations wants the FEC to probe whether the DVD’s distributor, the Clarion Fund, is really a front for a right-wing group based in Israel seeking to back Republican candidate John McCain.
