How about equal opportunity?

Let's contrast this:
- PBS, using US government funds, is airing a highly favorable documentary which verges on proselytizing, on national television.
- Egyptian television recently aired a miniseries based on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
- What do you think the chances are that an extremely favorable treatment of the life of Christ produced by the Christian Broadcasting Network would be allowed to be broadcast on a Saudi channel? Or an Iranian, Iraqi, Yemeni,Egyptian, Libyan, Algerian, Malaysian, Indonesian etc. channel?

I wouldn't half object to efforts to enlighten Americans about the history of Islam, however biased, if there were some degree of quid pro quo in the Islamic world. Maybe my grandchildren will see that.
