Enemies of Freedom
Reader comment on article: Television in Time of War

Submitted by S. Pulincherry (United Arab Emirates), Aug 4, 2005 at 14:28

I entirely agree with Daniel Pipes. Allowing an Islamist apologist on a TV debate is to allow the enemies of freedom, the freedom that they would never allow anyone if and when they grab power. Both Muslims and radical leftists must be positively discriminated against by the media, especially the TV, because both these groups have absolutely no qualms about misusing their power or not granting any freedom of speech to those who differ with them.
