Excerpt:
The Department of State is through its website - http://www.america.gov/st/peopleplace-english/2009/August/200908201621542sademahom0.5717584.html - promoting a propaganda film, Journey into America which treads on the tired cliché that the United States is the biggest impediment to any rapprochement between the West and the Muslim world.
Lead architect of the movie is Akbar Ahmed, a professor occupying the Ibn Khaldun Chair of Islamic Studies at American University in Washington.
Before his film making career, for a brief time Ahmed also served as the Pakistani high commissioner to London.
Though he has gained a reputation as a moderate, he serves more correctly as a simple defender of Islam, incapable of admitting the obvious link between jihadist terror - or any associated behavior - and the Qur'an.
