I Dare PBS to Show True History of Islam

I dare PBS to show true history of Islam. I dare PBS to show the brutal throwing out of two Jewish tribes of Medina from their ancestral homes and confiscation of all their lands and properties for ridiculous reasons ( like " God informed that you were planning to kill the Muslim prophet" and "your man humiliated a Muslim woman") and distribution of women and children to the Muslims as booty after massacring all 900 adult men of the last remaining Jewish tribe (supposedly angel Jibraeel ordered to attack them).

Why didn't PBS mention that the prophet himself used to sleep with beautiful young ladies after killing their husbands, fathers and brothers like he did in the case of Rehana, Safia and Juavaria? Did PBS show that Muslims used to support themselves by attacking and looting trade caravans and peaceful non Muslim communities. Did they mention that the biggest incentive for jihadis was loot and booty which included captured women, sex with whom was okayed by Quran and the prophet. Did they inform the audience that the Prophet okayed slavery and allowed sex with slaves, and that he himself slept with slave girls. I dare PBS to show the true history of Islam.
