Thanks. I think he's right to critically examine Islam and to expose the double standards, but most of his criticism could be turned on any culture, most notably our own.

And I see that his interest is professional, as a journalist, that questions be asked and facts reported -- like who's the influencers, and what are the trends.

Wow. I just saw the entire opposite on PBS. http://www.3faiths1god.com/index.htm Lemme say, I like PBS a lot, and I like that they offer different viewpoints. And I'm definitely a fan of peace, understanding, and ecumenicalism. But we shouldn't sacrifice honesty for superficial smiles. That, and I wasn't in a very charitable mood after just having watched Richard Perle's documentary about his war on terror. (I recently had a friendly argument with my mother about media bias. I said that all the networks and cnn have a right bias, and she said everything including PBS and excluding FOX has a left bias. After hearing Richard Perle give his uninterupted opinion, I think we can all safely call PBS at least as fair and balanced as FOX.)
