Reader comment on item: Debating PBS's "Muhammad" Documentary

No dialogue, no debate. No PBS willingness to acknowledge that there is controversy, but at least Pipes was heard.

It's hard to believe that the film was done by parties who are not pro--Muslim as the faith, at best, is not entirely one of peace. The defender, Hussein Ibish, is certainly not an unbiased critic, and while Pipes is a critic, he is considered an expert in Mid-Eastern affairs and culture including the religion.
