..Call Me Infidel: An Ex-Muslim Speaks Out...... jjgoss 03/30/07
    ..(CBN)A shocking new documentary is calling attention to the very real threat of terror attacks against the U.S.

    It's called, Obsession: Radical Islam's War against the West.

    Canadian film-maker Raphael Shore produced the movie. He believes that Americans and Westerners must comprehend how radical Muslims view this war.

    "'Obsession' is an attempt to reveal and educate the American public on what the aims, the goals and the strategies of the radical Islamists are," Shore said.

    That is something that author Nonie Darwish understands very well. Darwish, the author of "Now They Call Me Infidel", grew up in an Egyptian family in the Gaza Strip.

    She learned firsthand what it was like to live in an atmosphere where jihad ruled.

    But Darwish became disillusioned and left the Islamic faith, later founding the anti-terrorist, pro-Israel group Arabs for Israel.

    She states her mission is to "promote reconciliation, acceptance and understanding" between Israelis and Arabs.

    Although there have been death threats leveled against her, that has not stopped her from speaking out against terrorism.

    Born in Cairo, Egypt, Darwish moved to Gaza in the 1950s when her father, Lt. General Mustafa Hafez, was sent by Gamal Abdel Nasser to serve as commander of the Egyptian Army Intelligence in Gaza, which was then occupied by Egypt.

    Hafez founded the Fedayeen, armed Palestinian militia who launched raids across Israel's southern border.

    In July 1956, when Nonie was only 8 years old, her father became the first target of the Israeli Defence Forces, killed in response to Fedayeen attacks. He became a martyr, or "shahid."

    Afterwards, during a speech, Nasser vowed that all of Egypt would take revenge for Hafez's death.

    Nasser asked Darwish and her siblings, "Which one of you will avenge your father's death by killing Jews?"

    Darwish explained, "I always blamed Israel for my father's death, because that's what I was taught. I never looked at why Israel killed my father. They killed my father because the Fedayeen were killing Israelis. They killed my father because when I was growing up, we had to recite poetry pledging jihad against Israel. We would have tears in our eyes, pledging that we wanted to die. I speak to people who think there was no terrorism against Israel before the ཿ war. How can they deny it? My father died in it."

    In 1978, Darwish moved to the United States with her husband, and eventually became a U.S. citizen.

    Living in the free atmosphere of America, she began to realize the horrific impact and evil indoctrination that she and all Arab children are subjected to.

    She no longer practices Islam because she feels that even mosques in the U.S. have a radical, anti-American and an anti-peace message.

    About a year after the 9/11 attacks, Darwish began writing columns about radical Islam and the culture of hate and violence upon which it thrives....

      The "intellectuals" who are not terrified of Islam and their goals are as stupid as the ones who put Hitler into power.
