Obsession at NYU

KesherTalk's Judith Weiss has a great post about the screening of the film "Obsession" at NYU -- and cowardly reactions like this:

"The question about radical Islam and how do we fight it is unproductive," said Yehuda Sarna, the New York University rabbi on the panel. "The question is how to break down the stereotypes facing the two religions."
I've never been a fan of stereotypes, but when people are waging war against you, I just don't think breaking down stereotypes should be at the top of the list of priorities. Judith calls this mindset "political masochism" and I think she's right.

Check out the post. There's a ten minute trailer video from the film, plus a classic interview of Ayaan Hirsi Ali by Bill Maher (which Judith thinks "Rabbi Kumbaya" should watch!)
