A Must See TV Program

This morning (Sunday, Oct. 3, 2010) This Week, the ABC Sunday news program, held a town hall meeting on the topic, "Should We Fear Islam?" Franklin Graham (son of Billy) was one of the participants and I think he did very well. Sadly, I'm also sure that many people watching thinks he's bigoted. He isn't and I thought that was clear on the program. Sadly, Gary Bauer was also included and he did sound bigoted, especially when he got red in the face and his neck veins looked like they were going to pop out of his neck. Christiane Amanpour was the moderator as she has now taken over as anchor on the ABC Sunday program. On Amanpour's left were moderate muslims and non-muslim liberal-types. Also on video was Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the lady from the Netherlands (originally from Africa) who has a death warrant on her from many muslim groupsfor speaking out about her experience with Islam. Sadly, I didn't feel the program participants on the moderate muslim-liberal side gave her much credence. I certainly would after reading about what she went through. By the way, she is a former member of the Dutch Parliament so she has creedence.

But the highlight of the program was an Islamic cleric who said, and I am not misquoting him and I am not kidding either, he said that eventually east will meet west and all will be under Islam and there will be a muslim flag flying over the White House. I think the sad thing is that so many people thought he was a joke. But many of us don't think it might be such a joke. Please do watch this if you have Broadband for the video. The link is below. On the right side of the large video at the top of the page are three smaller ones. Click on the middle one--the one that is entitled, "Town Hall Debate: Should Americans Fear Islam?"
