Letter To FOX

Issue: Eric Shawn in the latest interview with Dr. Pipes and Hussein Ibish.

As your viewer and definitely now former supporter, I got deeply disappointed with the latest interview conducted by Eric Shawn about Islam in American books.

Even as a moderator, Shawn performed poorly, when not letting Dr. Pipes properly reply to the fallacies and misguidance purposely perpetuated by Hussein Ibish - an acknowledged Islamist. Hussein Ibish abused his power, when speaking over Dr. Pipe's speech by the end- not having Shawn taking action- despite the fact that the only invited one "a priori" was Dr. Pipes. What a lack of manners – in the most developed nation in the civilization history.

In the end Shawn thanks both interviewed in a tone as if the matter of indoctrination of our children was a simply a "plus one" that did not deserve alarming attention. Unfair enough, FOX also invited an Islamic extremist supporter, rather than inviting a moderate to discuss the same issue- if the problem was "having some balance".

Viewers like me felt betrayed and very uncomfortably mocked , which again contribute to the lack of support we will honor you with.

I guess FOX would not mind to display what's the percentage of its shareholders (that) are alledgedly Islamist supporters or Saudis.

Respectfully,
