Is that why there is such heavy advertizing on Al-Jazeera by Mogen-David wine, Kosher Sea Salt, discount Mennorah candles, Lenny Bruce comedy CD's- "The 50th Anniversary- live in the Catskills!" boxed sets, DVD's of the original "The Jazz Singer", and so many rhinoplasty info-mercials?

Those of-so-clever Protocols-fed, Illuminati-funded running dog lackeys of the Zionist colonialist global conspiracy!

(I've heard that "Al-Jazeera", translated into Hebrew via the BABEL FISH website, comes out as: "Oy vey!")

I've been reading this site for several months now and have certainly be enlightened about the threat of global jihad and its root in Islam. Thank you all for the education and for Mr. Spencer for the idea for the site.

In light of the article, ironically, there was no strategy by the network to give Islam a negative image in the West (or as I prefer to say--Christendom) or to show the true threat it is. It was, I'm sure, a purely unintended consequence. (All the jihadis are doing a pretty good job of doing the same thing as well.)

Now that the cat is out of the bag here come the crocodile tears.

They need to stop using so much lead paint. Maybe the keffiyahs are cutting off the circulation to their brains?

Just more "Big Lie" propoganda that the Arab world continues to feed itself. How could anyone believe such a obviously contrived, outragous and transparent lie! Oh ... I know, don't tell me. Gee, I have no idea why anyone would think that the Arab world is comprised of are idiot throw-backs. I guess Bag-dad Bob has a new job.

I have said this many times before but I will rap the table one more time.

The principle prevails in the Islamic mind: "If anything really bad happens the Jews did it". And, we should note the analogy in National Socialism, the old slogan hung from banners in barns, stadiums, auditoriums, throughout the 1930s: "Die Juden Sind Unser Ungluck", "The Jews Are Our Misfortune".

And "Israel is the greatest threat to world peace", etc. etc.

"Never again!", say European politicians, teachers, intellectuals, ordinary citizens....well, then say something or do something folks!

It is true that Al-Jazeera does manage "to give the impression that Islam is a threat to the West, to present a negative image of the real Islam to the world, to isolate Muslims residing in the United States and other Western countries, and to create sectarian divisions between Shias and Sunnis in the Middle East."

No one should blame Muslim masses, or even the 180,000 subscribers to Al-Jazeera in this country (good family people, all of them), be blamed for liking what they hear on Al-Jazeera; it reflects, and fits right in, with their world-view. It makes them comfortable.

The damned problem is: the Infidels can also listen in, can also watch. And they don't even need those special satellite dishes -- they are free, those security services in the West, to subscribe and listen to a Muslim satellite channel meant solely for Muslim eyes and ears. Can you believe the cunning of Infidels, daring to listen in and draw conclusions? The treachery, the sheer horror of it. The Al-Jazeera people forgot; they thought it would be like the secret meetings in Khartoum, or Amman, or elsewhere, where things like the Jihad against Israel were discussed, in Islamically correct terms, with none of that p.r. nonsense about the "legitimate rights of the Palestinian people" stuff (oops, could it be that Bat Ye'or managed to get hold of that, and translate that too?).

For years the most bloodcurdling things were said in the Arab media. For years, the American government had much of it translated, and dutifully published in various issues of its compendious "Foreign Broadcast Information Service" or FBIS. For years no one -- not a journalist, not a politician, not a policymaker -- paid any attention to the daily food for thought provided from radio stations in Cairo and Damascus and Riyadh and Baghdad. But now what used to be hidden in the pages of the FBIS can be found on the Internet. Now the translators at MEMRI, and those in the service of the American and other Western governments, are monitoring the mosques, monitoring the Muslim media, and what's more -- they are actually making available to the Infidel public what is said in the Arab press, on radio, television, what those sermons are all about. It cannot be stopped.

The only thing that can be done is to keep hoping that enough people still keep refusing to pay attention.

But that becomes harder and harder -- not least for those who become familiar with this website, and those like it, that keep the stories coming in, unstoppably, and without the usual sugarcoating or misleading framing of which the Times and the Post editors are past masters.

And the Jihadwatch personnel just cannot make themselves as credulous as the Tom Friedmans and Nicholas Kristofs or the hosts of various NPR "news" programs -- try as they might.

This is one time the mullahs in Iran should be allowed to have their way- and let them shut Al-Jazeera down!

Posted by: Gary at December 2, 2004 2:01 PM

Of course they did, Shiva. Mohammed didn't have the imagination of L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, so when he came up with the religion scam instead of normal thuggery, he ripped off Judaism because he doubtless figured it would be easier to sell back to the Jews.

Unfortunately, the Jews of Mecca and Medina weren't sufficiently impressed by Mohammed's new and improved version of monotheism and thus we endured 1400 years of misery.

Posted by: waterdragon52 at December 2, 2004 2:06 PM

Gary:

Possibly the mullahs' game is to turn the Muslim masses away from what is likely a Sunni, if not Wahhabi, oriented broadcaster in favour of a Shi'ite broadcaster that they may themselves be readying to launch.

So...

Al-Jazeera was created to tarnish the image of Islam?

What a waste of cash, considering all the other networks are doing it for free...

Posted by: Bob Owens at December 2, 2004 2:55 PM

It's about time the truth about Al Jazeera was revealed. It has long been reported by reliable sources that the Mossad is actually hacking into the Al Jazeera signal to broadcast subliminal pornographic and blashphemous messages directly into the brains of Al Jazeera viewers. These signals also stimulate the activities of jinns who happen to be in the neighborhood. Viewing Al Jazeera will cause the Muslim soul to wither and the jinns unleashed into the room will drag the soul directly to Hell.

Posted by: Hulegu Khan at December 2, 2004 3:19 PM

This must be the joke of the week!Al Jazeera the tool of CIA and those infernal Jews...Not the tool of Qaradwi and Emir of Qatar - Ha,Ha!!As for tarnishing the TRUE FACE OF ISLAM ; Muslims do it themselves all the time, revealing hemselves to be the most violent and pesky critters on the Planet. Of course Al Jaz has helped with its amazing collection of 'BEHEADING VIDEOS' - see one of those and you might need to vomit but you're certainly NEVER going to BELIEVE Islam is a "Religion of Peace" - 'pieces' maybe and 'holes'
but not HOLY... Of course their beloved Prophet [of evil] was the worse Terrorist of his time not to mention minor faults such as being a lust crazed Pedophile, torturer, liar and madman. This DEATH CULT is against all moral and human rights codes - from HUMAN RIGHTS alone it should be BANNED LIKE NAZISM FOR IT DENIES HALF ITS POPULATION [women & girls] HUMAN RIGHTS!!!As for encitement to KILL OR ENSLAVE NON MUSLIMS THIS ALSO IS AGAINST THE UNITED NATIONS CHARTER. A petition ought to be made to get this frightful, barbaric CULT recognised as an affront to all Civilized Nations and World Peace. ISLAM IS THE EVIL AND UGLY BANE OF OUR WORLD - TIME FOR US OF THE FREE WORLD TO REMOVE IT FOREVER!!!

Posted by: Morgane at December 2, 2004 3:27 PM

Gosh darn it, after 7 long years you da thunk them evil Zionists coulda done a little better job of 'tarnishing the image of islam'. Somebody needs to tell Mossad they are slipping.

This must be The Week That Was .. 37 rabbis fighting in Fallujah, Israel spreading AIDS to arabs and muslims, Israel planted that guy in the NJ governor's office to publically embarass him, Jews compared to mosquitos and the spread of malaria and now this .. al jeezeere is a Zionist plot. How will they ever top this one??? LOL

So the Iranian Ayatollay and Company are "officially" claiming al-Jazeera are a front for those Zionist rascals!!!!!WIll wonders never cease!!! Or maybe it's the miracles of Allah that permit such impossibilities to occur in Islamic annals!

What, one wonders, will they think up next? Maybe that extra-terrestrials are a classified high-plot to scare Muslims into adopting Christianity and making them believe they are being 'saved' by jesus and from those rascal 'aliens' who just, wouldn't you know, are anti-Muslim?

Or, how about this: that Christian belief in the after life is a 'Zionist' conspiracy to entice Muslims into leaving Islam? Hey, Iran, Is it not POSSIBLE that birth defects are a plot thought up by Zionist pigs to destroy Islam??????...It's the Jews who have come up with medicinal 'cures' for birth defects so that must clinch it right?? Right!!

Maybe, and, maybe rocks exist because those Zionist, anti-Islamic pigs could have too many babies and wipe out Islam by stoning all of the world's Muslims to death? starting with helpless Muslim babies who can't throw stonews back at those Zionist Pigs!

Earthquakes are a Zionist, Jewish-pig invention too! They actually kill Muslims. Better nuke Israel NOW before there's any more pesky Zionist earthquakes to kill Muslims!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Indonesia is THE WORLD'S major victim of Zionist CONSPIRACIES: Most of the Pacific rim's active volcanoes are here in this Islamic nation. HOLY ALLAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is it not possible The Jews WENT BACK IN TIME MILLIONS OF YEARS USING A TIME MACHINE BUILT BY THOSE PLOTTING AND SCHEMING AMERICANS AND THEIR UNFAIRLY SUCCESSFUL TECHNOLOGY AND PUT HUNDREDS OF ACTIVE VOLCANOES IN THE INDONESIAN ISLAND CHAIN. THE JEWS KNOW PERFECTLY WELL INDONESIA WAS TO BE THE PLANET'S MOST POPULOUS ISLAMIC NATION. VOLCANOES ARE THEREFORE THE ULTIMATE ZIONIST CONSPIRACY! GASP! WE BETTER KILL THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!KILL THEM DEAD, IRAN FOR ACTIVE VOLCANOES IN INDONESIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ISRAEL MUST PAY FOR ACTIVE VOLCANOES IN INDONESIA! ISRAEL AND THE GREAT SATAN!!!HISSS!!!

KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL THE ZIONIST CRUSADERS WITH THE PEACE OF ISLAM!!!!!

Posted by: pythagoras at December 2, 2004 6:40 PM

[sarcasm] Of course it is the Jews fault, everything is always the Jews fault. If the whole world were to sneeze at the same time, it would be on account of the Jews. [/sarcasm]

This is why I would never convert to Islam, you have to be a complete idiot to accept any of the trash that people are being fed at any give time. Al-Jazeerah is run by Zionists??? ROTFLMAO... Of course, the only good thing about this sort of newspiece (or idea) is that it gives us non-Muslims no end of entertainment. And here we thought that Muslims didn't have a sense of humor.

Posted by: paula at December 2, 2004 7:04 PM

, rumors arose suggesting that the network was established by U.S. and Israeli agents in order to present a bad image of Islam to the world....

All the finger pointing in the world does not vail the truth for which THERE is no denial.

Ah Morgane,
thanks for rant, yes,
but how do we end this 1300 year error,
so we can have some peace on this planet.

I fear the spread of islam in America, no doubt massive funding available for gutting us from the inside.

Posted by: dby at December 2, 2004 10:38 PM

Now I'm really depressed and confused. Here I was on the verge of converting to Islam based on the wonderful portrayal of the peace-loving jihadist imams, the videos of beheadings, and the cherished fighting words from al-zawahiri, zarqawi, and omichael bin mooren himself -- always so impressed was I with how al Jazeery got the scoop even before the sympathetic infidel journalists. I mean, the coverage of the freedom-fighting insurgents and jihadists firing their weapons at the evil American military thrilled my heart. Here I was considering walking right into me local musky mosque when I find out that al Jazeery is really taqiyyah within taqiyyah. My but war certainly is deception. Not really sure where it ends and begins any longer. Kind of like an unsolvable Rubik's cube. WILL THE TRUE FOLLOWERS OF MUHAMMED PLEASE STAND UP!!!

I am grateful for this very informative and educating Blogspot. I have been reading the articles and postings for the last couple of weeks and feel that I have learned more about the "religion of peace" than the MSM wants Americans to understand or believe.
Thank you for all the education you are providing. You are a true patriot.
