Anti-Islam DVD a front to help elect McCain?
DENVER: A United States Muslim advocacy group on Tuesday asked the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to investigate whether a non-profit group that distributed a controversial DVD about Islam in newspapers across the US is a front for an Israel-based group with the stealth aim of helping Republican presidential candidate John McCain.
Radical Islams War Against the West denied trying to promote any presidential campaign. They said it is also incorrect to tie the DVD campaign to the Jerusalem-based educational group Aish HaTorah International, although current and former employees are involved with the project. The Council for American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) asked the FEC to investigate the DVD distribution, which targeted about 28 million households mostly in battleground election states.
Ari Morgenstern, a spokesman for that group, said targeting swing states was designed to attract media attention, but is not meant to influence the election result. He said the film makes a very clear and upfront distinction between the majority of peaceful followers of Islam and those people who subscribe to a radical Islamic ideology. ap
