Here's something printed in very small print at the bottom of an unusual ad for a PBS program, which appeared this morning in the front section of my local daily paper:

"Funding for Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet has been provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, The David and Lucille packard Foundation, Arabian Bulk Trade, Sabadia Family Foundation, Irfan Kathwari Foundation, El-hibri Foundation, Qureishi Family Trust and many individual contributors."

I posted about this yesterday and was soundly flamed by some for it. This piece of war propaganda will be aired in North Texas tonight at 8 pm on KERA, Channel 13. I suggest anyone who is outraged by this write to the president of KERA,
Gary L. Ferrell. His email address is gferrell@kera.org

Maybe we can redefine Islam for it's millions of followers and make them become more peaceful. New editions of the Koran should be written for it's followers ----there's more than one way to skin a cat.

Anothor interesting tidbit was in the puff pieces and interviews with the director of the documentary (an Anglo) which focused on the fact that no images of Muhammad or his disciples are available or are allowed by the Muslim faith. The emphasis on this is calculated, I suspect, to appeal to the Protestant audience. ("Look Henrietta, they're just like us!")

Enemy jihadist propoganda.

"Can you imagine if the parting of the Red Sea or the raising of dead Lazurus, for example, were presented as made-up, folk stories?"

Where has this guy been? Does he think PBS would every present anything from the bible as anything but myth?

Making A Nice Prophet – Postive review of
PBS’s "Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet"

I'll be watching to see how much revisionism and moral equivalency is loaded into this show.

I got to hear the fellow who wrote the script for the show this morning on
the morning-drive show on KABC 790AM in Los Angeles.

The writer didn't take any calls...and was into the moral equivalency excuses
for the mess that Islam creates most places it goes.

He said that oppression of women happens everywhere...and it's
done under the banner of the Catholic church in South America.

I chuckled over that one because one of the hosts of that show (Dan Avey)
is a faithful Catholic (at least from what I discern from some of his asides...).

Oh well, those Islamicists are past masters at making friends and influencing
people...NOT!

bump...and a heads-up to folks to watch the re-airing of the Frontline special "Muslims"
on PBS tonight (Thursday).

It is a good antidote to last nights infomercial about Muhammad.

[VOA]

bump...

and just telling folks that the balanced documentary "Muslims" from
the Frontline division of PBS will be airing tonight at 9PM (Pacific Time) in the Los
Angeles area (on KCET).

I think it will air on other PBS affiliates. Interested parties can go to
www.pbs.org, enter their zip code in the "What's on tonight" search box,
select their local PBS station to see when (and if) their station is carrying this
good documentary about the state of the larger Islamic world.

Trust me, it's not the kinder, gentler world of Muhammad shown last night on PBS...
