AMERICA AT A CROSSROADS | The Brotherhood | Excerpt | PBS

The Muslim Brotherhood is a secretive, international movement dedicated to the spread of a fundamental version of Islam throughout the world - but is it also offering support and encouragement to terrorists?

Award winning Newsweek journalists Mark Hosenball and Michael Isikoff investigate a movement that preaches peaceful co-existence but also supports suicide bombings in Israel and offers inspiration for many violent jihadi groups. "The Brotherhood" is part of PBS' America at a Crossroads, and airs on Friday, April 20th at 10 PM. For more information visit www.pbs.org/weta/crossroads.

pbs planned to include in the series a documentary about liberal and moderate activists in the middle east. they then refused to air it with the reasoning that by identifying anti-terrorism and pro-democracy muslims would also suggest groups like hamas and hezboallah are extreme. it was censorship.

this clip came from a pbs series called "crossroads" which unfortunately chose not to air a documentary about moderate muslems. the reasoning was that showing that would aknowlege that muslems like abu izzadeen and osama bin laden are extreme.
