The film “Islam vs. Islamists,” commissioned by PBS but canceled under eye-raising circumstances, will be shown on PBS after all: Deal lets PBS stations air Islam film.

A documentary billed as “the film PBS doesn’t want you to see” will at long last get a national audience.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB) announced a joint agreement yesterday to make “Islam vs. Islamists” available to the 354 Public Broadcasting Service member stations across the nation as a “stand-alone” TV program, with a little extra embellishment.

“We plan to distribute the film to any public broadcasting station that wants it. We’ll package it and also produce some sort of discussion to accompany the film, and give it some context,” OPB President Steve Bass told The Washington Times yesterday.

“There has been a lot of debate on whether this program needed editing. Some said yes, some no. When you’re dealing with an object of controversy, it is better to let the audience draw their own conclusions,” Mr. Bass said.
