WASHINGTON -- CNN TV host Glenn Beck tells NewsMax that he believes "Islamic extremism is the biggest threat to our way of life since World War Two and we'll never be able to fight it – if we can't see it."
American viewers are going to see - up-close-and-personal - the ugly face of extremism on Wednesday evening, when Beck will air on his cable show a special ominously called "Exposed: The Extremist Agenda."
For the first time, according to the show's producers, Americans will be able to see actual videos from Middle East television and other sources that show just how dangerous the "radical Muslims" really are.
"It's unbelievable footage – very eye-opening, and it's exclusive," say producers.
Beck notes that his passion for the project is grounded in his strong opinion that "political correctness is going to kill us" because people are too afraid to show such explicit video and talk about it for fear of repercussions.
"The Glenn Beck Program," which airs every day on CNN Headline News at 7 p.m. and replays at 9 p.m. and midnight on Headline News, usually gives viewers what is advertised as an unconventional look at the news of the day, featuring Beck's "unique and often amusing perspective on top stories from world events and politics to pop culture and everyday hassles."
The special may be short on amusement this time out - as viewers see segments showing children being brainwashed and indoctrinated in a culture of hate; raw footage of anti-Israel and U.S. propaganda; suicide bombers being psyched-up for martyrdom; the very real and imminent threat spilling forth from Iran; a profile of just how American Muslims feel; and, finally, a look at perhaps the best and last chance for change from within.
According to Beck, the videos being featured come from television in the Middle East. Most were originally broadcast in Arabic or Farsi, requiring "quite a bit of time involved to not only select the clips but also to confirm the translations and the context."
So why hasn't this important film been shown before - at least in this country? asks NewsMax.
"Americans don't seem to take this threat seriously," explains Beck. "Here are these extremists, telling us clearly and plainly what they want to do, and we won't pay attention. That's what's so frustrating. We're hoping that by finally showing some of this video on a primetime television show, people might finally understand what we're really fighting."
Beck notes that another reason for the lack of coverage is good old-fashioned political correctness.
"A movie called ‘Obsession' was released a few months ago showing many of these same clips and it could not get a U.S. distributor. People just don't want to touch the subject for fear of repercussions and being branded as racists," Beck tells NewsMax.
In the U.S./Israeli propaganda segment, the no-holds-barred look inside the beast includes absurd charges that Coca Cola is investing billions to "topple" Iran, and that PEPSI stands for "Pay Every Penny Save Israel."
"Propaganda is their most powerful weapon," says Beck, who adds that this segment includes commentary from former PLO terrorist Walid Shoebat.
In a segment called "American Muslims Where Are You?" Beck and his guests explore what he perceives as the dearth of Muslim leaders here in the U.S. standing up and denouncing terrorist attacks. Dr. Aslam Abdullah, who wrote a recent column titled, "We're Muslim-Americans, Kill Us Too," joins Beck to talk about why he feels virtually alone in saying such things.
GET THE WORD OUT...

EVERY AMERICAN NEEDS TO SEE THIS !
No, no. Global climate change is far more dangerous.
Boxer will save us.
Thx for that link!
I don't think so.
Islam may be the bullet, but if it comes, it's a self-inflicted wound.
It's only a threat so long as we refuse to perceive it as one.
If America would treat it like an enemy, it wuold soon be overcome.
Am I reading this wrong? I take it as: The images (pictures) make Muslims et al angry at us and Israel?
We'll have to watch and see....
American decadence is our greatest threat. The barbarians only conquered Rome when Rome degenerated to a weak-willed paper tiger (at least the Western half).
Let's look at this rationally. In the 1940's Harry Truman made the fateful decision that it was going to be us or them in the current, not both. The future we could be together but not at the time. At the time one had to prevail to break the impasse and stop the slow bleeding of both countries. So Harry nuked Japan and ended the war. He did this so his country men could live. they had to die so we could live. Who among you doubts for a second the nomad in some mountain fiddling with a plan to suprise nuke major US cities isn't looking at the calculus exactly like give em Hell Harry. They are postulating the simple fact that it comes down to us or them. For that reason be afraid, be very afraid. They'll do the deed the first chance they can. And their people will cheer them just like we cheered Truman. It's about survival. Odd are I wouldn't be writing this if Harry Truman didn't save my dad from getting shipped out to Guadacanal or wherever. Those plans changed forever when he sent the planes to Hiro and Nagasaki.
"that show just how dangerous the "radical Muslims" really are."
As opposed to the non-dangerous dead ones.
Hmmmm. Glenn is on the Rush show this very minute.

And, time for CNN and the Washington Post to remind us of all those right-wing wackos, trying to ram their religion down everyone's throats, dressed up in camo outfits...

I can't wait to watch it.
I can't believe CNN would allow this to air.
Thanks for the link.
Beck is on with Rush now.
Glenn just said on Rush that some 'very-higher-ups'at CNN are insisting that it be shown...supporting Glenn's position.
Thx! I just tuned in.
