GTCR RECOGNIZES ISLAMO-FASCISM AWARENESS DAY Georgia Tech group hosts "Obsession" screening on Radical Islam, Special guest Martha Zoller to introduce documentary

ATLANTA (April 19, 2007) – On Thursday evening, the Georgia Tech Chapter of the College Republicans will host a screening of the groundbreaking film Obsession: Radical Islam’s War against the West in recognition of Islamo-Fascism Awareness Day.

Over 100 campuses across the country will host Obsession screenings on and around April 19, as part of the Terrorism Awareness Project (www.terrorismawareness.org), a program of the David Horowitz Freedom Center dedicated to waking up American college students to the threat of militant Islam.

"This film presents an important perspective on radical Islam that is often ignored by the mainstream media and academia," said GTCR Campus Activism Director David Hotle, who is coordinating the Terrorism Awareness Project at Georgia Tech. "Our main goal in screening this documentary is to raise awareness of the threat of Islamo-Fascism by educating the student body with relevant facts that have not received adequate attention."

Obsession reveals an "insider's view" of the hatred the Radicals are teaching, their incitement of global jihad, and their goal of world domination. With the help of experts, including first-hand accounts from a former PLO terrorist, a Nazi youth commander, and the daughter of a martyred guerilla leader, the film demonstrates that the threat is real. "Violent Islamic extremists present a real threat to the American way of life, and Tech students are not immune to
this threat," said Georgia Tech student Christopher Dempsey. "This film will enliven discussion on campus as we examine the salient challenges of our world today." Renowned talk-radio personality, author, and columnist Martha Zoller will introduce the film on Tech's campus Thursday, which will be shown in DM Smith Room 104 from 7:30-9:30pm.

"The war against the Islamic jihad and its religion of terror will be decisively won if we both understand the nature of the threat that confronts us and have the will to face it," said TAP national coordinator Stephen Miller. "The Terrorism Awareness Project will assist in achieving these objectives, as college students across America can defend America, which is under siege both abroad and at home."
