Reader comment on item: The Voice of America, Silenced on Radical Islam

Objectivity would be telling it like it is, not airing a terrorists propaganda and muzzling the truth on who the terrorists are ideologically.
Moderate Muslims are also muzzled out of fear. We are muzzled by those trying to socially engineer a new world order and using PC to restrict free speech!
This seems to defeat the purpose of offering an alternative to what they already hear?
