PBS to Finally show Documentary on Terrorists

PBS had filmed a documentary called Islam vs. Islamists which showed the struggles moderate Muslims faced by the radical Muslims. They decided not to air it. Apparently they were afraid to offend the radicals.

Now PBS has reached a deal and they will show the documentary:

A documentary billed as “the film PBS doesn’t want you to see” will at long last get a national audience.
    The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) announced a joint agreement yesterday to make “Islam vs. Islamists” available to the 354 Public Broadcasting Service member stations across the nation as a “stand-alone” TV program, with a little extra embellishment.
    “We plan to distribute the film to any public broadcasting station that wants it. We’ll package it and also produce some sort of discussion to accompany the film, and give it some context,” OPB President Steve Bass told The Washington Times yesterday.

What I don’t understand is what took so long? Don’t you want to hear from Muslims who condemn the perversion of their religion? I know I do. It’s time for them to speak out. I know many of them are probably afraid to do so, this documentary will give them the chance to do so.

 The often-disquieting 52-minute film explores the struggles of moderate American Muslims at the hands of their radical brethren and gives details about a “parallel” Islamist society that is slowly but surely developing within the U.S. borders. The film was produced by conservative columnist Frank Gaffney Jr., founder of the Center for Security Policy, filmmaker Martyn Burke and Middle East scholar Alex Alexiev.
