ABC’s 20/20 show on Islam was a complete whitewash. Diane Sawyer pretended to show both sides by allowing critics to raise questions about Islam’s defects only to have Muslims reply “oh, no, that’s not true.” There was no examination of the texts or references to experts on Islam, either pro or con. I won't bore you with the usual apologetics consisting of comparisons with Deutoronomy, downplaying Mohammad's behavior in Medina, denying abrogation, lying about taqiyya, etc.
Early in the show Sawyer made it clear how ignorant Muslims are of their religion (most shown not even knowing the Five Pillars) therefore Islam is only what lax and ignorant Muslims claim it is. Here, we have always distinguished between Muslims-in-name-only and Islam, the religious philosophy. Those who are lax don't define the philosophy. We've gone over this time and time again.
Sawyer's banality consisted of cliches like Muslims are nice because they have children and they go to work like you and me. Several Muslims regurgitated the Bush line about Islam being hijacked and “it’s only a few.” For the last 9 years Muslims have been allowed to lie about supporting jihadi attacks on civilians. A good interviewer can usually expose this lie by asking if they support the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas or Hezbollah. This allows an honest “moderate” to distinguish themselves from the “radicals” or not. Phony moderates are exposed by their support for these groups.
The general message was: forget the Koran, Hadith, and Sira you bigoted Islamophobe; ignorant and lax Muslims define Islam.
