In January of 2022, we were informed the video violated their “community standards” and they demanded it be deleted. We went through their formal dispute process and this is the one time we lost.

We managed to rip the video from the Creator platform, albeit the resolution was greatly reduced.

Watch for yourself and ask if this video compilation was informative regarding Muslim treatment of our canine friends or “Islamophobia”.

As the parents of wonderful dogs over the years, this is horrifying and sadly common practice in certain parts of the world.

What British Muslims Really Think
Channel 4 and Trevor Phillips undertake and interpret a rigorous survey of the views of British Muslims on issues from gender equality and homosexuality to sympathy for violence and terrorism
— Channel 4 UK

Channel 4’s controversial documentary What British Muslims Really Think has prompted more than 200 complaints. It sparked a row after it commissioned a poll that found more than half of British Muslims think that homosexuality should be illegal.

The Office of Communications (Ofcom) said it had received 89 complaints about the programme, which aired on 13 April and was watched by 1.4 million viewers. Channel 4 said it had received around 130 complaints and another 20 messages that were “appreciative” of the programme.

The regulator said complaints included concerns about misleading information and that it risked increasing Islamophobia.

A Guardian panel of British Muslims who watched the programme last week were highly critical of the show, branding it “boring, inaccurate and sensationalist” and said it “reinforced the us vs them narrative”. They said the documentary’s methodology was “problematic and flawed” and it “suggested you’re either a liberal Muslim or slightly extreme”.

Ofcom said it would assess the complaints before deciding whether or not to launch a full investigation.

BTW — The Guardian (while scrutinizing the methodology used in conducting the survey and its results) provided no information about those in that “panel of British Muslims” and we’re to take the news site’s word they and their sentiments actually existed.

What British Muslims Really Think is still available on Channel 4’s on-demand service, All4.

No, it’s not.

The 2016 documentary is no longer available for worldwide, public viewing and its not like Channel 4 videos are removed because they’re no longer timely or recent. “Muslim Drag Queens” originally aired on August 24, 2015 and it’s still available for viewing to this day.

Knowing the liberal media as we do and predicting how easily they’d succumb to the online bullying of the politically correct, “What British Muslims Really Think” is presented in it’s unedited entirety and you can see if what was presented is truly Islamophobic as defined by the PC’d or a more accurate depiction of reality, given ongoing events.

Granted, “Halloween” was left alone because of the Satanic implications and fun involved, even though “All Hallows Eve” does have religious connotations missed by the ignorant because having an excuse to drink is a lot more fun.

But while Christian holidays are being purged from the public square, here comes that one exception again….

New York City public schools were closed Thursday in observance of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha. According to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s office, this was the first time the New York City School system closed schools for a Muslim holiday. De Blasio and Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña previously announced that New York City would become the largest school district in the nation to recognize two Muslim holidays, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, on the official school calendar.

And like most things in this country, when it happens in one place it spreads to other places, like in Maryland.

After years of debate, the Montgomery County Public School system has decided to accommodate families who celebrate the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha by closing school for students on Sept. 12 of 2016.

When the vote was taken, the board room, filled with interested parents, burst into applause. Just two board members, O’Nell and Phil Kauffman opposed making the change. Outside the board meeting, Saqib Ali, a county resident and parent of daughters in the school system says the decision is about equality.

“I’m thrilled. Look, my daughters are now equal to everybody else — all their little playmates in the neighborhood — their Christian friends, their Jewish friends. Who could be against equality?” Ali charged that the debate, which has been going on for years in the increasingly diverse county of more than 1 million people, was rooted in institutional racism, but he also congratulated the board for its final decision.

Sorry, Mr. Ali but has nothing to do with any racism, institutional or otherwise, because Islam is a religion and Muslims are NOT a race.

Islam is a religion that is approximately 1,400 years old, having been founded by Muhammad in the 600’s A.D. Muhammad’s teachings were complied after he died by his followers and makeup the sacred text for Muslim, called the Quran. Islam is one of the largest religions in the world at the beginning of the 21st century.

This seems to coincide with a pattern where Muslims bitch about being offended by Christian holidays, have them removed, and then demand to have their holidays installed. Let’s not forget what happened in that same Montgomery County Public School district in 2014….

Christmas and Easter have been stricken from next year’s school calendar in Montgomery County. So have Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah.

Montgomery’s Board of Education voted 7 to 1 Tuesday to eliminate references to all religious holidays on the published calendar for 2015-2016, a decision that followed a request from Muslim community leaders to give equal billing to the Muslim holy day of Eid al-Adha.

Again, like most politically-correct entities, Muslims really don’t want equal treatment. They demand (and get) special treatment.

Why is Christianity’s existence considered offensive while the Muslim faith (which IS a religion) is welcomed in schools?

Eid al-Adha, or “Festival of Sacrifice”, is celebrated by Muslims to mark the occasion when Allah (God) appeared to Ibrahim in a dream and asked him to sacrifice his son, Ishmael, to demonstrate his devotion to the Almighty.

It’s beyond hypocritical for one religion to be favored over others, especially by those who don’t go crazy over a Muslim prayer and foot-washing rooms in airports, public and private buildings, but took Christians to court because the personal wearing of a necklace with a cross or a posting of the Ten Commandments made someone real uncomfortable.

So, why do bloggers and politicians tip toe in their reporting and/or succumbing to certain constituents when it comes to Muslims? Because, as Bob coined “When you piss off Christians, they pray for you. When you piss off Muslims, they kill you.”

Islam Is a Religion of Violence
To understand whether violence is inherent in the doctrine of Islam, it is important to look at the example of the founding father of Islam, Mohammed, and the passages in the Quran and Islamic jurisprudence used to justify the violence we currently see in so many parts of the Muslim world.

It’s possible to claim, following Mohammed’s example in Mecca, that Islam is a religion of peace. But it’s also possible to claim, as the Islamic State does, that a revelation was sent to Mohammed commanding Muslims to wage jihad until every human being on the planet accepts Islam or a state of subservience, on the basis of his legacy in Medina.

We all know the ACLU and organized atheists would swoop down in a heartbeat if Christians requested a holiday be added or a chapel be installed or a prayer in a classroom or sports field by uttered anywhere, but is it a visceral fear of potential violence that’s now giving Muslims preferential treatment over other religious groups?

All one need do and look at events around the world to see the answer is obvious.

The outright censoring of the movie The Path To 9/11 is a blatant example of how liberals whitewash history, and in particular, how post-Clinton Administration officials could strongarm a television network into altering an artist’s work, later to keep that work from the American people… forever.

It also shows how irrelevant and unnecessary The Fairness Doctrine is when liberals are motivated and work in concert.

Last week, I had the honor of asking Cyrus Nowrasteh, director, screenwriter and producer, a few questions.

BOB —First off, can you tell us about your new project, The Stoning of Soraya M. and do you anticipate any resistance from entertainment companies that may resist broadcasting and/or distributing it?

CYRUS — THE STONING OF SORAYA M. is a true story set in Iran about an infamous stoning. It is based on an international bestseller that received much acclaim. It portrays Sharia Law in action in an Iranian village where a woman is accused of adultery, brought to trial, and executed in the same day. It is a condemnation of the barbarity of such punishments under fundamentalist regimes.

Will it inspire controversy? Of course. The book did so, its veracity questioned along with the author’s motives, but that comes with taking on edgy material. I welcome it.

Since MPOWER, the producers I did this with, have their own distribution company, we’re not reliant on the whims of a studio should President Ahmadinejad or CAIR raise objections. MPOWER won’t pull a “Bob Iger” on this film. They have guts.

BOB — Now, let’s get into some industry weeds.

There were early reports that some of the cast of The Path To 9/11 seemed deceived by the plot (or intent) of the film. If you feel at liberty to discuss this, do you feel as though they didn’t know what they film would be about (seeing how they could read scripts), or do you think they may have begun to feel some heat from their more liberal, intolerant Hollywood colleagues?

CYRUS — Everyone who worked on THE PATH TO 9/11 was given a complete script. It was entitled, however, THE UNTITLED HISTORY PROJECT, for security reasons. We would be shooting a good chunk of the film in Morocco, and didn’t want it to be called anything related to 9/11 while filming in a Muslim country. This ‘cover’ title was the source of much discussion in the media who attributed nefarious, conspiratorial, reasons behind it. It is common for productions to do this so as not to invite too much attention from fans, media, and others while trying to accomplish their work.

In the lead up to broadcast a number of actors in the miniseries were approached by the Clinton people to speak out against it. All refused except one: Harvey Keitel. He went on CNN and discredited the film and those he worked with. Of course, this was broadcast all over as proof we were in the wrong. Mr. Keitel, who prides himself on being a Marine and a tough guy, simply panicked when the charges started flying and ran to the media and turned on his colleagues.

Of course, the fact that numerous experts have come out since the film was broadcast and supported its historical depiction has been a bit of an embarrassment to Mr. Keitel.

BOB — When you initially decided to do The Path To 9/11, did you ever imagine creating the one program/movie that didn’t go straight to DVD?

CYRUS — It is outrageous that Disney has bowed to the Clintons and refused to release THE PATH TO 9/11 on DVD. This is a program that was number one in the ratings and garnered 25 million viewers. A smash. The foundation was laid for a huge DVD sale. But Mr. Bob Iger feels it more important to cushy up to his political friends than provide revenue for his shareholders.

FAHRENHEIT 9/11, THE DEATH OF A PRESIDENT, AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH — all hugely political films — can be easily obtained at any video store. Only THE PATH TO 9/11 is unavailable.

This is outrageous.

BOB — Were you contacted personally by any former Clinton Administration officials, and did they threaten you, and if so with what?

CYRUS — I was not personally contacted by Clinton officials, merely the subject of their attacks. It was their intent to portray me as some right-wing nut in order to discredit me. And their willing allies in the media went along with it.

Jay Carson, who was Clinton’s chief of staff, made it a point to contact people in Hollywood hiring me to work on other projects and try to discourage them from doing so in true ‘McCarthyite’ fashion. Among those he contacted were an A-list director and the President of a major studio.

Some months after the controversy a Clinton strategist told me that I’d better be prepared, that if Hillary became President I would be audited every year. I believed him.

BOB — Have you created a Director’s cut that may hopefully, one day, see the light of day?

CYRUS — Uncut DVD versions of the miniseries have circulated on the Internet, some selling for as high as $500, but Disney’s attorneys have stopped that. Disney owns the film; no version of it can go out unless Disney releases it. They have chosen, under political pressure from the Clintons, not to do so.

BOB — Have you ever wondered what part of the National Archive documents wound up down Sandy Berger’s pants, and how that may have impacted the content of your movie?

CYRUS — Sandy Berger went into the National Archives at the request of Bill Clinton, ostensibly to help them both prepare for their testimony before the 9/11 Commission.

The documents he stole and destroyed contained hand-written notes in the margin that revealed how lax Clinton’s attitude was toward terrorism and Al Qaeda in particular. Driven by a desire to protect their legacy, Mr. Berger destroyed the documents and they are lost to history.

BOB — While working for a television network in Hollywood, I publicly became a Republican and was shunned by many who were previously good friends. The word got out, and freelance jobs that were previously plentiful, dried up. As an outspoken Hollywood conservative, how are you received, both on a professional and personal level, and has your marketability suffered at all?

CYRUS — First off, I was “characterized” as an outspoken Hollywood conservative by the spin machine out to kill THE PATH TO 9/11. If they could discredit me they felt they could discredit the film.

Though I’ve described myself as “conservative” on foreign policy issues (especially those dealing with Islamic fundamentalism and terrorism), I’m fairly “liberal” on social and economic issues. I could most accurately be described as a “libertarian” on these latter issues.

But, honestly, as a filmmaker I don’t like being pigeonholed. I made 10,000 BLACK MEN NAMED GEORGE for Showtime, a movie I’m very proud of. Its hero was an African-American communist who leads a labor struggle. My film, THE DAY REAGAN WAS SHOT (also a Showtime movie) was attacked by conservatives even though it portrayed Ronald Reagan unequivocally as an American hero. For me it’s about the story, the drama — not the politics.

Many people told me this “conservative” characterization would affect my career, and some in town did call my agent and manager and claimed they’d never work with me. But others, from both sides of the political aisle, actually watched the movie and realized that it was all political spin and called about my availability because they liked what they saw. Frankly, I’ve never been busier.

This controversy, in some ways, put me on the map. The town isn’t small enough to ruin people’s careers. Though I don’t doubt that in certain pockets and situations the “reverse McCarthyism” that you refer to goes on.

BOB — Thank you, Cyrus.

CYRUS — Bob, thank you for your interest.
