Islam Vs. Islamists

To be broadcast at 9 PM -Oct. 20th on Fox.

A controversial film that PBS axed from its documentary series about the post-Sept. 11 world will be broadcast for the first time nationwide this week by the FOX News Channel.

The documentary, originally titled "Islam vs. Islamists," was produced by ABG Films with $675,000 in public funds from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. It was originally slated to run earlier this year as part of PBS' "America at a Crossroads" series.

The film follows moderate Muslims who have challenged the "Islamists" who espouse a more radical view of their religion. The film shows the Islamists advocating, among other things, the imposition of Sharia law on Muslims in the West, the stoning of women who commit adultery, and even violence and terrorism.

"Islam vs. Islamists" will be seen in its entirety as part of an all-new FOX News Channel special. The 90-minute FOX program, called "Inside Islam: Faith vs. Fanatics," includes interviews with "Islam vs. Islamists" director and producer Martyn Burke and executive producer Frank Gaffney. It will be broadcast at 9 p.m. ET on Saturday, Oct. 20.

Hmmm. I'll believe it when I see it, but it does not seem like the vast, overwhelming majority of Muslims really oppose the extremists.

And to me, that amounts to tacit approval of Islamist techniques and their jihad.

Tacit approval would be bad enough, but the lawsuits against John Doe whistle-blowers and constant whining about Islamophobia amount to water muddying enablement.
