DVD Reviews of The Road to 9/11
DVD Review: PBS Liberal-Left Bias is All Too Apparent in this item.
Summary: 2 Stars
This PBS item has interwoven interviews with America's leading liberal-left academics, journalists, and Islamists. Consequently, no inconvenient facts which interfere with the basic left-wing and Islamic narrative of "history" is included. No mentions of the Armenian genocide, Ottoman Islamic empire-building, theft of everyone else's lands and culture over 1400 years of conquest by Arab Muslims -- including the shameful claims about Islam being the only "civilization" for many centuries without mentioning the immense slaughter and slavery of non-Muslims throughout the entire period, or how much of "Islamic invention" was likewise stolen from Hindus, Greeks, Jews and Christians. No mention of Islamic admiration for Hitlerism due to shared Jew-hatred, which for Muslims was Koran-inspired and led to many atrocities well before Zionism or Israel even existed. No mention of Koranic verses which advocate for mass-murder of infidels and Jews especially, with Bernard Lewis' false proclamation that "anti-Semitism is a recent invention" -- as if the periods when Muslims allowed Jewish communities to exist within their borders, where they lived as dhimmi slaves and paid a yearly "head-tax" (the Jidza, which granted to them the rights to live for another year) wasn't intrinsically Islamic supremacist in nature (it was). Once more, this documentary leaves the impression that colonialism and Israel are mostly to blame for Muslim anger and violent atrocities, suicide terror bombs, and -- in agreement with Osama Bin Ladin -- for 911 as well.
Also some of the interviewees, whom I know would strongly disagree with the overarching presentation are given only a few seconds of interview time. Such is the danger when an editor can stitch together comments from different parts of interviewed experts, and just cut away whatever might challenge his bias. Oh well, this is typical for PBS. Suggest to instead get the DVD "Obsession" Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West and "Islam: What the West Needs to Know" Islam: What the West Needs to Know with interviews by conservative scholars such as Robert Spencer, Daniel Pipes and Bat Ye'or. Or the books by them, and especially by Bat Ye'or and Andrew Bostom on the subject of Islamic dhimmitude slavery. Or better yet, get the old PBS item "The 50-Years War" The 50 Years War - Israel & The Arabs if you can find it. PBS did that years ago, and assuming they haven't edited it down, it is excellent. For some years, they refused to keep it in production because it gives too many inconvenient facts, such as the head of Palestine TV declaring on camera how he was ordered to fabricate atrocity stories about the battle of Dier Yassin, creating yet another Jewish blood-libel.
I also note the claim by a few reviewers that this PBS item is "Zionist Revisionism" or pro-Israel is way off, and only shows how the political extremists at both ends could call it such merely for PBS putting a small bit of the blame onto Muslim shoulders. (The common meeting ground of both Islamist-Communists and neo-Nazis is their shared Jew-hatred and democracy-hatred.) Maybe the one interviewer who tries to defend Nasser should research his speeches in favor of Jewish extermination, his pro-Hitler stance, his meetings with the war-criminal Mufti of Jerusalem al-Husseini who participated in the Holocaust murder of Balkan Serbs and Jews, recruited Muslims into special SS divisions, tried to set up Jewish death-camps in Palestine, and helped many old SS officers to flee into Egypt after WW-II, where they later re-appeared with Muslim names and clothing, leading brigades into battle against Israel. Nasser's provocations and sabre-rattling, his inept stupidity when later acting as general (announcing his plans for massacre-invasion of Israel on radio in advance, along with having a series of provocative acts-of-war, leading to a predicable and devastating pre-emptive strike by Israel). Add to this his stupidity in leading Egypt into the Soviet camp -- PBS did a good job in exposing that -- for the sole reason the West would not give him sufficient replacement weaponry for yet another ill-conceived war against the hated Jews. But Nasser also made military strikes against all his neighbors, including the Libyans, Sudanese, and even against the Saudis at one point -- all in efforts to build himself up as the Big Dictator for Arabs, as if to rebuild the Caliphate in Cairo. But I digress...
The PBS documentary also accurately exposed, in a small way, how many of the anti-Shah leftists quickly ran off to support the Ayatollah Khomeini, who was basically allowed into power by our leftist President Jimmy Carter. "Iran needs a spiritual revolution" they all said. And they got one, complete with massacres of non-believers in their Islamic spirituality. They never bothered to read the Ayatollah's "Mein Kampf" to see what he had in plans for Iran, and elsewhere. They only knew the Ayatollah was anti-Shah, anti-capitalism, and anti-West, so they rallied to support him in large numbers. Blood and tears followed in Iran, making the old Shah appear by comparison like a pacifist reformer for human rights, women's rights and democracy -- and truth be told, in some measure he was!
And yes, this is NOT the original ABC item "The Path to 911" which presented too many other inconvenient facts about President Bill Clinton bungling the attempt to kill Osama Bin Ladin, and so was never released -- being shown in a censored-cut version on television only once. To get a handle on that one, see the video "Blocking 'The Path to 911'". Blocking The Path To 9/11
