FCC's 'Chief Diversity Officer' Threatens Broadcast Freedom

Host: Jim Schneider
Guest: Robert Knight

Robert Knight is a Senior Writer and Washington, DC Correspondent for Coral Ridge Ministries and is the author of the book, Radical Rulers: The White House Elites Who Are Pushing America Toward Socialism.

Mark Lloyd is the "Chief Diversity Officer" at the Federal Communications Commission. Under his watch, the Obama administration wants to make moves to bring more localism to broadcasting.

On the surface this sounds good until you realize that the call for "localism" appears to be designed to erode the popularity of conservative talk radio.

Another issue is the push for "net neutrality", an idea that would be nothing more than content control of ideas. Oddly enough, the "left" doesn't seem to want to apply this to the Internet distribution of pornography.

Also discussed is the possible implementation of community advisory boards for radio and TV stations. These boards could threaten the license renewal opportunities for Christian stations that refuse to air diverse religious viewpoints.

Jim and Robert discuss these and other issues dealing not only with Mark Lloyd, but other "czars" from the Obama administration.

Understanding Islam and Sharing the Gospel

Usama Dakdok was born in Egypt and is the son of a Baptist pastor. He became a Christian at age 11 while learning about Islam in school because it was a mandatory subject. He went on to study Islamic law in college. He came to the U.S. in 1992 and in 2001 founded The Straight Way of Grace Ministry of which he is president.

On this edition of Crosstalk, Usama presents a fast paced series of points concerning Islam that are based on two main points:

(1)There is no such thing as moderate Islam.
(2)The Koran is filled with violence and hate.

It's from these two points that Usama concludes that there is no such thing as moderate Muslims and Islam is only a religion of peace when Muslims don't have the upper hand.

Why is the attempt to build a mosque near the site of the 9-11 tragedy so controversial? How can a religion that advocates the death of those who don't believe the same way be given constitutional protection? Does the Allah of the Koran have anything in common with the Satan of the Bible? Is the Koran open for interpretation?

These and many more interesting questions are answered as Usama Dakdok removes the politically correct clutter to reveal the true personality of Islam.
