Next class, we'll watch a documentary about how Muslims in Canada, America, and Europe are risking their lives to speak out against terrorists like Al Qaeda, who are responsible for massacres around the world over the past decade. In my experience, people have very simplistic stereotypes of Muslims, post 9/11. This film will help you understand clearly the struggle in the Muslim community over the nature of Islam.
The msm have a mixed record in reporting the so-called "War on Terror"; at times, the reporting has been accurate, but too often, it has been misleading. Most people know less about this topic than they 'know' about global warming, which, given 9/11 and everything that has followed, is truly astounding.
Simple question to test your knowledge: which people have suffered the greatest number of deaths at the hands of terrorists?
This film was produced by the Public Broadcasting Service in the US and was supposed to air nationally. At the last minute, the network executives refused to show it. I want to know what you think of their decision. You need to see this in class -- their are no copies on the net or available in stores.
