FREE THE FILM PETITION
To Pat Harrison, President of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and Members of the United States Congress:
We are among the taxpayers whose money has been used to make "Islam vs. Islamists: Voices from the Muslim Center" - a documentary that was supposed to be aired on the Public Broadcasting Service as part of its "America at a Crossroads" series.
Yet, we are unable to see this film, despite the fact that the information it relays about what is happening to moderate Muslims at the hands of the Islamists is, arguably, as important as any issue addressed by the documentaries that were broadcast in that series.
While PBS justifies its suppression of "Islam vs. Islamists" on the grounds that the film is "unfair" and not up to the network's "standards" we believe that, as its underwriters and the public who own our country's public airwaves, we have a right to judge for ourselves. Please do whatever is necessary to make this documentary available to us and all other Americans at the earliest possible time.
