Silencing Muslim moderates

[Dale_M]

On April 15, PBS, along with its Washington, D.C., affiliate, WETA, will begin airing an 11-part series of documentaries titled America at a Crossroads. It is described by PBS as “a major public television event . . . that explores the challenges confronting the post-9/11 world,” and much of what it explores is the clash of Western values and those of fundamentalist Muslims.

The segment was titled, Islam vs. Islamists: Voices from the Muslim Center. By and large, the clashes it depicted involved people like Jasser condemning violence perpetrated in the name of Islam, and fundamentalist imams condemning the Jassers of the world as false Muslims.

In many respects it is an inspiring story, the sort of story that public television often likes to tell. But it isn’t going to tell the story depicted in Islam vs. Islamists. At least not as a part of the heavily promoted Crossroads series, and quite possibly not at all.

[M]uch of their hostility seems to boil down to this: They could not bring themselves to declare people like Jasser “moderate” because that would mean criticizing the fundamentalists whom the Jassers of the world oppose.

And Heaven forbid we offend or criticize murdering terrorists!!!
I’m sure they’d have NO PROBLEM portraying certain factions of Christianity in a less than stellar light.
WHY does the MSM cave in to these thugs??!??

Because when the MSM insults Catholics we take it. When they insult the RoP, heads roll.
