Firing Line with William F. Buckley Jr. "The Rising Tide of Islam"



A reminder of what an intelligent exchange of ideas looks like.
A 50 year old forecast of where we are today in dealing with Islam. A reminder of why we had a show like "Firing Line" and the intellect that WFB brought to any number of topics. I'm looking foreward to viewing the other episodes that are available.

A brief introduction
It doesn't go into much detail about Islam but is a good primer. Topics center more upon Iran than anything else.

Ignorance of History Leads to Repeated Mistakes
Americans in particular are ignorant of our own country and political structure. Islam is not akin to communism; Islam is Islam in monotheistic practice however, political views within the Middle East and the Muslim world are not monotheist. If you have the wherewithal to turn off the purveyors of white supremacy, watch this one-hour discussion on the complexities of a foreign policy decision that contributes to others self-determination.
