In December 2005, TBN pre-empted the program for the entire month. Lindsey accused the network of [[censorship]], saying, "some at the network apparently feel that my message is too pro-[[Israel]] and too anti-Muslim."<ref>{{cite web|title=International Intelligence Briefing |url=http://www.hallindseyoracle.com/articles.asp?ArticleID=12130 |work=Hal Lindsey Oracle |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061211103318/http://www.hallindseyoracle.com/articles.asp?ArticleID=12130 |archive-date=December 11, 2006 }}</ref> Paul Crouch issued a press release stating that the show was only pre-empted for [[Christmas]] programming,<ref>{{cite web|title=TBN - Trinity Broadcasting Network<!-- Bot generated title -->|url=http://www.tbn.org/index.php/7.html?nid=87|publisher=Trinity Broadcasting Network|access-date=February 5, 2009|archive-date=June 15, 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060615162413/http://www.tbn.org/index.php/7.html?nid=87|url-status=dead}}</ref> but eventually admitted that TBN management was concerned that Lindsey "placed [[Arab]]s in a negative light." Lindsey resigned from TBN on January 1, 2006, effectively canceling ''International Intelligence Briefing''. However, one year later, Crouch and Lindsey reconciled and a new program, ''[[The Hal Lindsey Report]]'', premiered on the network.<ref>{{cite web |title=TBN Welcomes Popular Christian Author Hal Lindsey with New Weekly Program |url=http://www.tbnnetworks.org/affiliate/prArticle.php?ID=100 |work=TBN Networks |date=January 22, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090315015715/http://www.tbnnetworks.org/affiliate/prArticle.php?ID=100 |archive-date=March 15, 2009 }}</ref> In June 2011, TBN refused to rebroadcast an episode of [[Jack Van Impe]]'s weekly program ''Jack Van Impe Presents'', in which the evangelist criticized pastors [[Rick Warren]] and [[Robert Schuller]] for participating in [[Interfaith dialogue|interfaith]] conferences alongside Muslim leaders.
