www.pipelinenews.comCAIR is back in the news, trying to shut down dissemination of copies of Obsession via an ad-like insert. Some papers have refused to include the insert including one in North Carolina. Two videos below uploaded to YouTube by CAIRtv. I posted on the campaign and did a review of Obsession here.
CAIR previously distributed a communication targeting the movie’s distribution this Fall.
CAIR is calling on anyone who received the “Obsession” DVD in their newspaper to contact the papers publishers to ask why they believe it is appropriate to profit from anti-Muslim hate.
ACTION REQUESTED: (As always, be firm but POLITE. Hostile comments can and will be used to further defame Islam and Muslims.)
1. LOOK IN THE NEWSPAPER OR ON ITS WEBSITE for appropriate contact information.
2. CONTACT the newsroom, the editorial page and circulation.
3. ASK WHY the newspaper believed it was appropriate to profit from anti-Muslim hate.
4. ASK WHO PAID for the distribution and how much it cost.
5. ASK WHETHER the newspaper would have distributed anti-Semitic or other racist DVDs.
6. ASK IF the distribution of the DVD in key election swing states was designed to aid a particular candidate.
7. Let CAIR know what responses are given by the newspapers representatives. E-Mail: [email protected]
[NOTE: CAIR and other groups are formulating a broader pro-active response
