"Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West" is a 2005 propaganda documentary film produced by the Clarion Fund, directed by Raphael Shore. The 60-minute film argues that radical Islamist ideology poses an existential threat to the West, drawing parallels to Nazi Germany through archival footage of Al-Qaeda training videos, interviews with extremists, and commentary from ex-terrorists, moderate Muslims, and Western experts. Initially released in April 2005, it was screened at film festivals, universities, and media outlets. The film became highly controversial when Clarion distributed an estimated 28 million DVD copies via newspaper inserts to households in swing states ahead of the 2008 U.S. presidential election, drawing criticism from groups like CAIR, Media Matters, and the Southern Poverty Law Center for being Islamophobic propaganda aimed at influencing voters against Barack Obama by linking Islam to terrorism. Conservative figures praised it as a wake-up call. Part of a Clarion series including "The Third Jihad" (2008), it exemplifies advocacy filmmaking in the counter-jihad movement and has been accused of selective editing and fear-mongering but remains influential in discussions of radical Islam.
