My take on this:

I love Hal Lindsey, but TBN is trying very hard to make gospel inroads into
the Islamic world.  It may be godly wisdom to soften the anti-Arab
rhetoric, even though it is true.  Such an emotional issue and flash point
can may be a stumbling block for Arabs entering the kingdom.  They can be
educated later on other truths of the Bible.

That is just a guess, but I suspect it is true, what they believe is
wisdom, and not an attempt to suppress the truth, but to proclaim a greater
truth.
