#3 you also seem to be finding bias and hatred where there isn't

i'd be a little more thoughtful before claiming this crap

for one thing, have you read or listed to anything Morgan Spurlock said on this topic?

Hugh -

you're a little loose with your accusations here...

Sperlock's stated purpose with the film was to show that "enemy" is human and it's only the small
percentage of extremists who cause the problems

“even our enemies have cute little kids”.

eye-opening that Amy Eddings automatically characterizes any Muslim, even one who is speaking reasonably about the need for dialogue and comity between all peoples of the earth, as one of America’s “enemies”.

as an American, i think America’s most dangerous enemies are people with prejudices like those of Ms Eddings and Brian Lehrer. the bigotry of the Brian Lehrer show never stops. i suppose Lehrer only chooses guest hosts that share his prejudices.

On hearing the clip with the child in the background, the host today ask Morgan Spurlock how it affects viewers/listeners to hear that "even the enemy" has children?

What about that clip tells us the family is an "enemy"? That they are Muslim?

Does the host think all Muslims are enemies, or does she just absentmindedly share the predominant view in this racist, anti-Muslim country?
