Voices from The Islam Center. Islam vs Islamists
Description
A Muslim journalist in France can't leave his home without two bodyguards supplied by the government after exposing Islamic terrorist plots in Paris. A devout Muslim doctor in Arizona is vilified in the local Muslim press for insisting that the American Muslim community must speak out against terrorism in the post 9/11 world. Two years before 9/11, a Sufi imam in Michigan warns the State Department about Osama bin Laden and probable Al Qaeda attacks on America only to be seen as an alarmist and ostracized by much of the Muslim community. This program looks at some of the roots of extremist ideology being exported around the world as the fight for the identity of the religion itself unfolds.
