I watched the first two programs in the series and really don't see how anyone could come away with this message:

Because, you see, Every Group Has Its Crazies. And those crazies, you see, are exactly alike, in what they want, and how they act, and the size of the demands they make on the rest of us. But exactly.

The first episode was quite clear that the religious Jews who operate on the premise that God gave them the deed to land that includes the West Bank are a small minority. The Israeli government was shown demolishing illegal settlements and forcibly removing settlers in both the West bank and Gaza as well as previously in the Sinai.

OTOH, the second episode clearly showed the religious repression in Iran and the goals of the Muslim Brotherhood to establish a caliphate. I would have liked to have seen a bit on the Wahhabis/Saudis who are the real "axis of evil".

On the whole, not a bad series so far.
