9/11 Memorial Refuses to Back Down From Exhibit Critics Claim Will Offend Muslims | TheBlaze.com

9/11 Memorial Refuses to Back Down From Exhibit Critics Claim Will Offend Muslims | TheBlaze.com: "Part of the debate surrounding the video has focused on whether it’s appropriate to use terms like “jihad” and “Islamist” when discussing the attacks, the New York Times reported.
Both terms are affiliated with the Islamic faith and, without proper context, critics say they could lead to some problems when it comes to perception.
In consulting with a diverse pool of faith leaders, the 9/11 Memorial Museum screened the “The Rise of Al Qaeda” in an effort to receive feedback from those involved. According to the Times, some individuals on an interfaith advisory council “took strong exception to the film,” feeling as though it showed Muslims in a negative light."
