First of all let me make it clear that i haven't seen the film aired by PBS. I was sent an e-mail saying that it had caused a bit of a stir and they recommended me to check out the feedback page so i could see some comments.

After reading a few comments its pretty clear the muslims say the film was good whilst the majority of non-muslims say it wasn't. I am a muslim myself, and i was taken aback by some of the fierce comments not against the film but islam.

Mostly everyone complained about the improper use of their taxes (fair enough), but then others commented that people souldn't WORRY(!) about any new converts and others still hating that they were promoting propaganda on the same guys that are trying to bomb us! If this isn't islam phobia, then what is! Seems that many people still gather their views about islam from watching footage of Bin laden and the Taliban! ...
