Faux News to air controversial documentary on "radical Islam"

http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/fnc/controversial_documentary_to_air_on_fnc_69392.asp

The documentary Islam vs. Islamists, originally slated to air on PBS, will run on Fox News Channel on Saturday, as part of a 90-minute program titled Inside Islam: Faith vs. Fanatics.

According to a FOXNews.com write-up, "the film follows moderate Muslims who have challenged the 'Islamists' who espouse a more radical view of their religion." The documentary was supposed to run earlier this year, as part of PBS' America At a Crossroads series. But, the article continues, "after viewing the film, PBS executives...told the filmmakers that it was 'alarmist' and 'overreaching' and that PBS would not run it."

Inside Islam: Faith vs. Fanatics, hosted by E.D. Hill, will air at 9pmET, featuring interviews with producers Martyn Burke and Frank Gaffney.

1. Will they also run a companion documentary about
Christian religious fanatics, their pedophilia, their hate rhetoric against gays while they seek male prostitutes, their mysogyny and abortion-doctor-killing, etc?

3. All Islam is radical to Faux Noise.



Same way they regard all Dayum Libruls. :rofl:

But give em a little bit of slack, they're trying to do the best they can with
the limited amount of brain power they have available to them.
