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.
