The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) doesn’t want Americans to learn of radical Islam’s war against moderate Muslims, such as Danish Member of Parliament Naser Khader, who are trying to reform and transport to the 21st century a faith born (and for a great many, stuck) in the 7th century.

“If [MP Khader] becomes the Minister of Foreigners or Integration, why don’t we send out two guys to blow up him and his ministry,” Danish Imam Ahmed Akkari said while being secretly taped by France 2 journalist Mohamed Sifaoui in March 2006. Once exposed, the 29-year-old Akkari denied his threat, but later claimed on tape, “It was a joke. I was joking.” But Khader speaks Arabic, and it was no joke.

Ahmad Abu Laban, one of Akkari’s radical compatriots, knowingly stated on tape that the West gives his radical co-religionists “a margin of freedom” in which to lobby politically to impose Islamic law on Western and Danish society, and “we use it.”

Both of these radicals were taken out of commission in 2007—Akkari in an auto accident and Abu Laban died of cancer.

But a veritable army of radicals follow in their steps, as becomes clear after viewing a new 52-minute documentary, Islam versus Islamism: Voices from the Muslim Center, screened privately in New York City on May 2 and for U.S. legislators in Washington D.C. on April 25 by producers Martin Burke, Alex Alexiev and Frank Gaffney.
