Michael Medved: "The truth of the matter is that the president of the United States
wants us to believe that Islam is a religion of peace, but it is not."

and because our show is so wide-
ranging in topics," says Medved, an
Orthodox Jew active with many
Jewish organizations, such as the
Jewish Policy Center in Washington,
D.C., and the National Jewish
Coalition.
"I discuss anything that's of interest
to me and get immediate feedback.
We have an audience of about 2 mil-
lion different people listening to part
of the show every_ week, and at any
given moment on the show, there will
be between 200,000 and a half mil-
lion people listening. Members of our
audience are very smart, know a lot
and are interested in a lot."
An issue recently explored by
Medved has to do with attitudes
toward Islam. He believes that the
media in general is not presenting an .
accurate portrayal of the way the reli-
gion is, practiced.
"The truth of the matter is that the
president of the United States wants
us to believe that Islam is a religion
of peace, but it is not," Medved
alleges. "That's not the history of
Islam. That's not the present of Islam.
I'd like to believe that it would be the
future of Islam.
"Wherever there is what is called
`an Islamist movement' anywhere in

the world, it's expressed in violence. I
was very struck recently by an article
that was buried in the New York
Times about very poor farmers who
were being slaughtered in Kashmir
for no other crime than they hap-
pened to be Hindu living in a
Muslim area. Christians are slaugh-
tered regularly in Nigeria, yet we pay
very'little attention to this reality.
"It seems to me that it is high time
that at least those of us in the Jewish
community — and really everyone in
the country — looked honestly at the
notion that Islam is a real problem.
That's the kind of thing we talk
about on the air." CI
