"Obsession" Screening

The Muslim Students' Association will be screening the film Obsession tomorrow afternoon. In case you haven't heard of it, Obsession is a recent documentary about the threat posed by radical Islamist ideologies, which has been criticized for being Islamophobic.

It's also controversial because over 28 million DVD copies of it have been distributed for free in the past few months by direct mail in political swing states, and through major newspapers - including the New York Times.



Decide for yourself - if 28 million votes could possibly be affected by this thing, it might be worth watching.

[EDIT 10/20, 9:30 am]
The event has been cancelled.
Sorry.
