True honesty bump!

Great post. Thanks for the article that I would have otherwise have missed.

Is Islam now the "in" thing to defend to sabotage America, or did Saudi money corrupt you?!

Nope. PBS was corrupted long ago by the TAX dollars we pay to fund their liberal blather.

[Cicero]

Well said. I don't suppose any of the major media will pay any attention, but gradually the climate is changing. And PBS is building up some real resentment doing this sort of thing.

Putting on a whitewash of Muhammed and Islam at this time is much like putting on "Springtime for Hitler" or "The Stalin Comedy Show."

Too bad this article will be ignored by PBS..

Great Post, Lets hope all the Liberals read it and see who they are defending

[grannie9]

Wow... finally someone tells it like it is... Gutsy lady..

Couric is just another presstitute, nothing more. She just keeps on proving it every day.

[Auntie Dem]

I can see PBS debunking (trying) this response by claiming "...this obviously is not written by a real person...". Of course any criticism of their fascist religion pandering will be ignored.

Is Islam now the "in" thing to defend to sabotage America

How perceptive! She has put her finger squarely on the issue.

And I say this having a Muslim colleague for whom I have the greatest respect and trust (and who, just a few days ago, decried to me what is being said and done in the name of Islam) -- and a former Muslim friend (now Christian) who tells me "Islam is the religion of the devil."

Given all this direct contact, it's still not easy to resolve exactly where or what "Islam" is (any more than "Christianity," given the wide differences between fundamentalism and catholicism, East versus West).

But one thing is inescapably clear: The Left has latched onto Islam as a weapon to wield against Western civilization. And the instant the Left has the upper hand and has no more need of Islam, Islam will be tossed into the same dustbin as Christianity.

I am proud to say, I know this gal, and she is an exceptional, brave soul.

One of the reasons I fled to the United States of America was to escape the oppressive regime of Islam in the Middle East. From a former Moslem, these people are in the US to Islamize America and have a scary agenda.

Thank you for posting this. Many people, like this author, do come to America to express their religious beliefs the way they want to.

I've worried about the establishment of Muslim prayer rooms in public schools in America. It seems their existence could pressure non-fervent Islamic students to pray at the appointed times, even if they are not interested in doing so. The more fervent Muslim students can notice who enters the paryer room and "rat" on the less fervent ones to the local Imam or other persons in authority.

In that way the public schools are inadvertantly(?) acting like enforcers for the local Imams.

[Concentrate]

Interesting. The world-wide Islamic mob. It's a tough cookie, I'll grant you that.

Ms. Darwish, welcome to freedom!

PBS, another stain on your already flawed reputation.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

In the show, you stressed how the West should understand Islam. Why is America responsible for understanding every little and big culture and religion around the World, failing which we are branded bigots and racists? How about asking the Moslems if they could open their minds and hearts and understand the West? Perhaps they will slow down their terrorism, burning our flags and hijacking airplanes. Unfortunately, the Middle East has no clue about the American culture and they only judge us by Hollywood! How about US media educating Moslems about US culture and the virtues of our Constitution? Did that ever occur to you?

The unaccountable power of the entertainment media (especially journalism) particularly attracts those least disposed to restraint in the use (and abuse) of it.

Liberalism is demagoguery--the exploitation of emotion to trump logic--and that is the natural, easy, profitable PR approach of the media power.
