They're sharpening the knives for the 'extremist' muslims.
See tagline.

Thanks so much for posting this!

Just look at Gaza... extremist vs. moderate? They kill each other with unrivaled vialness because they ENJOY it. They’ve graduated from car swarms to body swarms.
I recall watching something on PBS about a month or two ago on radical Islam, and “moderate” Muslims. The main thing that stuck with me was this kid made a comment that essentially was: “If it offends me, than I feel like I am being descriminated against”.

In violation of our Constitutional prohibition on government establishment of religion. Can a foreign state fund a religion? Should these mosques be denied 501c3 status?
The point PBS tried to hammer home (and that is contrary to this documentary, this its rejection) is that AMERICA is at a crossroads and needs to change policies. Islam “doesn’t need” reformation.
The kufir should leave muslim lands (Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Lebanon, Israel, Indonesia, Spain, Michigan...).
Rather than attacking the flaws we see inherent in their religion, we should focus more on attacking the interpretation of that religion by radical, militant, fundamentalist, extremists engaged in hirabah against the world, including against Muslims who are not them.
So true........thanks for posting this.
One of the problems that comes through in the film, is the marriage of politics and religion amongst the radical Islamists, who demand all should live by Sharia Law. It is the "perfect state"; after all...
It is remarkable that in an article which is clearly intended to underscore the danger we face and the war we are in, cognitive dissonance is its most prominent feature. Perhaps this is the result of the desire to sound "reasonable" in a venue where that will get you killed, or perhaps it's political correctness; in either case ultimately fatal.
If there is a single mosque or islamic cultural center built in the US in the last 35 years (the same is true elsewhere, but that's their problem), that was not built entirely by Saudi money directly or indirectly, I am not aware of it.
In addition, the notion that islam is the "marriage of religion and politics" only among the "radical islamists" is both false and easily refuted historically.
It has never been anything else!
Why does this matter?
Because writing and preaching that the 1000-foot tidal wave approaching may be water, but "not really dangerous" will kill you every time. Pretending otherwise and repeating it endlessly will neither kill the beast, nor offer any protection whatsoever.
They are reasonable.
They are just like us.
We can persuade them with logic.
All false premises and the only questions that remain are:
How long can we continue deluding ourselves that alliances with the 10% of moderates will ultimately prevail against the 90% of killers foaming at the mouth?
Has everyone seen the mindless behavior in the Gaza strip the last few days?
And once we realize unequivocally that reason is not the answer, what means will we employ to eradicate the danger and how will sanity and safety for the US prevail?
PBS-Its demise whose time has come. The sooner, the better!
I first heard of this when Frank Gaffney was interviewed by Paul W. Smith on the Limbaugh Program 4/24/07, second hour.
Islam is a ticking time bomb and you have to disarm it cautiously.
While muslims have no problem with the absolute prohibition of other religions in muslim territories, the one sign that all muslims (including the peaceful ones) agree is a “sign” that jihad is permissible, is when a nation prohibits the practice of Islam. So the more of a threat it becomes to a host nation, the more moderates will go “extremist” as you attempt some sense of stability.
Saudi funding of mosques in America ought to come with a tradeoff of expansion of religious freedoms in Saudi Arabia. NO prohibition on religions practiced in SA. NO prohibition on Jews (today they cannot enter SA). NO prohibition on muslims converting away from the faith. NO prohibition on non-muslims entering the cities of Mecca and Medina.
The Islamic Empire is being spread at the same time the antiAmeircan war (but decidedly pro-Palestinian war) protesters are complaining about American Imperialism.

Looks like Fox yanked it.
I’ve TIVOed up the 3AM scheduling for it. If that is bogus, then Sunday night will have to do.
