This documentary tells the story of courageous moderate Muslims in the United States, Western Europe, and Canada who are taking on adherents to the radical extremist ideology known as Islamism.
What is happening to these moderates – who are being ostracized, intimidated and, in some cases, threatened with death – offers critical insights into the dangers that both they and we are facing.
It also highlights steps to help empower these moderates and others like them.

When the Public Broadcasting Service cut this program – paid for by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and your tax dollars – from the “America at a Crossroads” series, they said it was a “biased, inaccurate view of the subject.”  But as Congressman Jim Walsh of Syracuse, NY, said to CPB and PBS officials at a recent hearing, “there’s a concerted and substantial effort on the part of radical Wahhabist Islam to silence these voices with physical… [and] verbal intimidation.  And [these filmmakers] document it in the United States, in Canada and around the world.”

On Thursday, July 12 – you can watch, and you can decide.
