Maybe it's me, but if my tax dollars were put out there to make a movie, I have the right to see it. It seems the PBS folks, according to the producer of the movie, are getting a bit nervous about the content of the film. Sounds like they are just worried about all the extra security they'll have to hire when the Islamic whack jobs come out of the woodwork and declare "jihad" and issue "fatwa's" because the extremists are called out on the carpet.
Subtitled Voices From the Muslim Center, Burke says his film "attempts to answer the question: 'Where are the moderate Muslims?' The answer is, 'Wherever they are, they are reviled and sometimes attacked' " by extremists
Jeff Bieber, WETA's executive producer for Crossroads, gave a substantially different explanation. He said Burke's film had "serious structural problems (and) . . . was irresponsible because the writing was alarmist, and it wasn't fair."
Excuse me, but extremists don't get to declare what's "fair" and what's not. Bombing innocent people, beheadings, and crashing aircraft into buildings mean you've lost your right to anything other than the business end of a US military strike.
If it's "alarmist" then it doesn't really matter does it? American taxpayers paid for this film and they have every right to see it. American's are smarter then you think. If the film is full of shit, they'll see right through it.
