Banned by PBS: Muslims Against Jihad — Sun. 9p ET It's a riveting documentary about moderate Muslims fighting jihadists who want us dead ... but was it stifled by liberal bias? Now, we air the story that PBS tried to kill! Don't miss it!
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
4:45 minute video, E.D Hill and producer Martin Burke discuss the film (a 30 second commercial plays first)
A collection of pertinent links (arranged chronologically) that appeared on yesterdays threads. The broadcast was cancelled last night and is now scheduled for tonite at 9:00pm EDT on Fox News Channel. The fact that CPB/PBS spent $675,000 of taxpayer money on this documentary to first censor and ultimately ban its broadcast IS AN OUTRAGE!!!

Much like FR is heading...
All tabloid - all the time...
I tried to watch last night, and found wall to wall Geraldo instead. No more switch and bait for me.
Wasn’t that awful...geraldo is such a pain in....
Bump
Thanks for the heads up.
dittos. It infuriated me that all their bluster about how Fox was airing what PBS wouldn’t and then they didn’t because geraldo needed TWO hours. I even set my recorder for the 3am airing and it still wasn’t on.
I am sending an angry e-mail to someone!!
The producers appear to be presenting the false idea that there are certain elements in Islam which are “hijacking” the religion. Well, that’s a false idea that they are presenting — on two counts.
One is that the “religio-fanatical-fascist-governmental idealogy” of Islam is not being hijacked at all. Those people who do these many things of terrorism in the name of the “government of Islam” are simply following the true nature of Islam.
The second is that Islam is not a religion like Christianity or Buddhism or Mormonism or Judaism is. Islam is a “radical governmental idealogy” masquerading as a religion, in order to sneak into societies under the guise and pretense of “freedom of religion” — until they can take over and eliminate all other religions and overthrow the different governments and install their own government. They try to do that in all places where they spead, starting with all sorts of laws pertaining to their “government” saying that they have to have “Sharia law” in order to live in these other societies.
Thus, this so-called documentary is a false one, even if it was prohibited from being shown on a liberal network.

Perhaps for tonight's belated broadcast, it can be titled "Banned by PBS & FOX"
I thought about that stuff too.....but since YOU and I both have not yet seen the documentary, YOU and I both ought to refrain from denigrating its content.
Fox News is tooting their own horn a bit much here considering THEY cancelled yesterday’s planned broadcast (in favor of ‘round the clock coverage of an arrest in a murder case).
Fox News is not a conservative channel. Their staff (CFO, Murdoch, et al) are not Republicans. They are more conservative than the other media outlets but then CNN US is to the right of CNN Europe.
I don’t have cable so I will be sitting this one out. I wish more pressure had been brought to bear on PBS. They did this country a disfavor by pimping CAIR in the “real” documentary (airing this on Fox will always brand it as a “conservative effort”).
PBS’s America At A Crossroads denied any links between CAIR and terrorist groups and said that the only criticism comes from a small but vocal group of conservatives and Israeli supporters.
PBS’s America At A Crossroads underlying point was that “America” is a crossroads and needs to shape up. We need to leave muslim lands because it is our presence there (politically, militarily, and corporate) that is offensive to muslims. This isn’t racism. The muslims in “muslim lands” are supremacist in ideology. They hate people of the same nationality who convert away from Islam even more than they hate kufir (non-muslims) because we never were “saved by Mohammed” in the first place.
When it is said that we need to “leave” muslim lands, it means not only the muslim lands of Kuwait, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. But also the muslim lands of Israel, Turkey, Indonesia, and Kosovo. I wonder when they will also lay claim to Spain, Michigan, and Massachusetts.
The REAL crossroads after 9-11 (and the continued support in the muslim world FOR terrorism) is that ISLAM is at a crossroads. Stand up and purge the intolerant violent cultists from your ranks or be lumped together. Islam must reform itself or else be tossed on the scrapheap of history.
I’ve read with that producers of that documentary have said — themselves — through their various interviews and that’s what I’m responding to. They’ve basically already told people what they’re presenting in their documentary. It’s no secret.
Thus, since I know what their focus and presentation is, I say the above comments. As I said, it’s no secret what they’re presenting, and what they’re presenting is false (just as false as President Bush saying that Islam is a “religion of peace” [what a crock that is, too]).

Islam must reform itself or else be tossed on the scrapheap of history.
Well, Islam cannot reform itself, without getting rid of Mohammed, as the their supreme prophet of this evil and false form of government, and without getting rid of the Koran and the Hadith (Mohammed's authoritative sayings).
In other words, Islam cannot reform itself without totally destroying Islam itself. So, there is no "reforming" of Islam -- but only the destruction of the government of Islam.
And if you think that the Muslims will get rid of their "revered" prophet -- well, you've missed all their "demonstrations" against people who disparage Mohammed, by simply drawing cartoons of him. Yeah, if you think they'll do that.... sure...

That was last night — Saturday night, and in the early morning hours of Sunday...
In other words, it’s past the time they are showing it. And in addition to that, it turns out they never showed it anyway!!
