PBS: DHIMMIS OF THE FIRST ORDER
PBS: The enemy within. PBS was the original dhimmi, even before the west had ever heard the term dhimmi.
The only bias demonstrated in this affair is by PBS for squelching a documentary featuring Muslims expressing patriotism FOR America. There is nothing surprising about PBS presenting only the radical Muslim side of things. This is not only an act of craven political backstabbing, it is an unmitigated act of cowardice.
Lets hope Martyn Burke, Frank Gaffney, and Alex Alexiev find a producer for their film Islam vs. Islamists. America and the free world need to know that there are Muslims who honor and respect the democratic process.
Producer: PBS dropped 'Islam vs. Islamists' on political grounds

The producer of a tax-financed documentary on Islamic extremism claims his film has been dropped for political reasons from a television series that airs next week on more than 300 PBS stations nationwide.
Key portions of the documentary focus on Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser of Phoenix and his American Islamic Forum for Democracy, a non-profit organization of Muslim Americans who advocate patriotism, constitutional democracy and a separation of church and state.
Martyn Burke says that the Public Broadcasting Service and project managers at station WETA in Washington, D.C., excluded his documentary, Islam vs. Islamists, from the series America at a Crossroads after he refused to fire two co-producers affiliated with a conservative think tank.
"I was ordered to fire my two partners (who brought me into this project) on political grounds," Burke said in a complaint letter to PBS and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which supplied funds for the films.
Burke wrote that his documentary depicts the plight of moderate Muslims who are silenced by Islamic extremists, adding, "Now it appears to be PBS and CPB who are silencing them."
