More Islamic Spin

I was disappointed with the FOX interview of Dr. Daniel Pipes on how Islam is presented in U.S. history and social science textbooks. Dr. Pipes was invited to speak as an expert on Islamic Jihad or "holy warfare" which according to Islamic texts is warfare intended to spread and defend Islam from all it's many perceived enemies-- including critics.

Instead of facilitating Dr. Pipes' discussion on the bias in these textbooks, FOX allowed the conversation to be maneuvered by an Islamic apologist to avoid the topic completely. It seems FOX has been complicit in a form of keeping information from the public rather than giving information.

I hope FOX will invite Dr. Pipes back and I hope that he would accept the invitation. If not I will watch for his interviews elsewhere.
