This is not the only footage I have seen with children being taught to hate and kill. That alone is sickening as I try to raise my young children to love ALL people.

So, whether you think it is “right wing” BS or not. The fact remains, the Jihad is not a made up Republican political ploy. And I personally fear that ignoring the facts (which may or may not be evident to us) will not solve the problem, it will only endanger more non-muslims.

I don’t have the answers, but I do have an opinion. I am allowed to have an opinion because I live in a free country. If you try to have an opinion in some of these Muslim nations you could be killed.

This is not a result of us being in Iraq either, it may be fueling the fire, but this hatred has been going on for centuries and will continue long after we are all gone.

I don’t hear anyone complaining about how the media has clearly taken sides in this upcoming election and the only time foul is called is when someone thinks the right is trying to get an edge.

As a voter who has yet to decide who I will be casting my vote for, I try to take all the information in, and will decide according to what I believe (which sometimes there isn’t much information in the media you can believe).

By the way, as I watched the DVD which came in my newspaper, I wasn’t really concerned with why or how it got into my newspaper, I was shocked at the content I was watching, the pure hatred. It felt as though it was aimed directly at me, as I am a Christian American. And, that being said, I don’t hate anyone. But I feel I would defend myself and protect my family from this type of propaganda should I need to.

Also, I don’t remember it saying that ALL Muslim’s were extremists. So I say, why should the ones get upset that aren’t extremists?

Without the N&O article (assuming folks read it), it could more easily be perceived that the newspaper itself was distributing the DVD (although, I am unclear on what kind of packaging the DVD was placed in, which depending on how it was packaged could have helped make it clear it was an advertisement).

I think it’s incredibly telling that the editors chose to refer all questions about the DVD to the advertising department instead of to the editors. They’re clearly trying to separate the news department from the advertising department. Normally with a controversial story, you’d expect a newspaper to suggest that folks comment on the editorial page or online.
