Excerpt:

M. Zuhdi Jasser is a physician, a U.S. Navy veteran, an American patriot, and a Muslim who does not hold with those who preach that Islam commands its followers to take part in a war against unbelievers.

The Third Jihad, a documentary film that Jasser narrated, takes a hard look at those Muslims who are waging this war — both with bombs and by stealthier means. The film had been among the educational materials used to train New York City police officers dealing with terrorism. Then, last month, the New York Times went on what one might call a crusade against the movie, publishing a series of articles branding it a "hate-filled film about Muslims" and calling on Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly to "apologize for the film . . . and make clear that his department does not tolerate such noxious and dangerous stereotyping."

In the first of its stories, the Times charges that the film "casts a broad shadow over American Muslims." That ignores the unambiguous statement with which the documentary opens: "This is not a film about Islam. It is about the threat of radical Islam. Only a small percentage of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims are radical."
