Infomercial: the selling of Islam

I resent t the selling of the Islamic religion with American tax payers money. This two hour snow job was simply a slick PR Madison Avenue version of Islamic propaganda. The blurring of faith and fact was masterfully done and particularly odious.
Jihad? The word means effort... er..personal struggle? Oh really! Thousands of Americans and international citizens have lost their lives due to this brutal call to Jihad, that is to exterminate the infidels and all non-believers in Allah. Personally I doubt if the people who grieve and mourn for their loved ones lost in the twin towers bombings care about the semantics of the word. I just know that actions speak louder than words.

Please read "Islam Unveiled" for a more critical view of Islamic religious beliefs and award winning journalist Geraldine Brooks' book "The Nine Parts of Desire." I would be happy to join a class action law suit to make sure PBS doesn't violate the puplic trust again.
