Follow Up on PBS Pulling a Documentary about Terrorism

As I have posted before here, and followed up here, PBS was to run a documentary on Islam vs Islamists. It has been pulled. This was to be part of a series that is running on PBS. This documentary was about centrist Muslims who are speaking out against the radicals. Personally I wish we would hear more of them speak up and this would have been the chance for them to do so.

This post is another follow up to my first two, you can read an article about this here.

From the article:

“Islam vs. Islamists: Voices from the Muslim Center” highlights the work of moderate Muslims who oppose the Islamist agenda and are willing to speak out. PBS officials decided against airing the film, which PBS’s Robert MacNeil told the Diane Rehm Show earlier this month was “one-sided” and “alarmist.”

It’s alarmist to hear from Muslims who denounce radicals? These are the people I want to hear from. There is a threat in this world that needs to be dealt with and hiding from it isn’t the answer. Maybe people do need an alarm to go off to wake them up. But if Sept. 11th didn’t manage to wake them up nothing will.

Islamists are working to build “parallel societies” with the aim of imposing strict Islamic law in parts of the West, according to a documentary the Public Broadcasting System has chosen not to air.

Whether you believe this or not it IS happening in Europe. It happened in Germany when a court ruled a man could beat his wife because he was Muslim and the Koran said it’s okay. This is just one small step, they will keep taking baby steps and before long you won’t even know what happened. It starts in Europe, but it will make it here eventually. Can you say multi-culturalism? It starts there and then progresses. Their goal is to Islamize the entire world.

Some of the key Muslim figures featured in the documentary believe PBS is practicing censorship and doing a disservice to the American public.

I think they are doing us a disservice, I think America needs to see what the agenda is of radical Islamists. It’s to convert the world, if you are not Muslim you are an infidel.

Danish lawmaker Naser Khader has been at the center of debate in his own country over the practice of Islamic law (shari’a). An imam has sought to impose shari’a outside the framework of Danish law, the film contends. Khader, a Muslim originally from Syria, has argued against the move.“For such opinions, he has aroused the wrath of those who want Islamic parallel societies within Denmark,” says the film’s voiceover.Khader discusses some of the menacing messages he has received, including threats such as, “We will kill you,” “We will make your life a hell,” and “If you participate in democracy you are a traitor.”

It’s time to WAKE UP, we can’t make them like us, they won’t go away, they may hide for a while but they will return.

I just wish PBS had the guts to run this documentary because American’s need to see this side of the story.
