"M" is for Muslim
May 6th 2007 15:55
Those kind, gentle, peaceful, loving Muslims are getting nicer by the day. Al Jazeera has a new childrens program featuring a Mickey Mouse-like character who sounds just like him, too. Instead of teaching the kiddies about reading and writing like Sesame St. or entertaining them like the real Mickey Mouse, the program is teaching them to hate Jews and Americans and how to kill. Isn't that just precious? Little girls read poems about hate and murder while the Mickey character pantomimes throwing hand grenades and using an AK-47. The kids in the "peanut gallery" watch with rapt attention and cheer, shaking their little fists in the air and chanting slogans of hate and destruction. The terrorists who put on the show apparently don't have anything to worry about, since the "mainstream Muslims" who are such "wonderful people" have made no effort to put a stop to it. The international community might make an effort to do something. Maybe the UN can threaten sanctions? Fat lot of good that'll do. The only ones who can put a stop to the training of the next generation of terrorists are the people who claim not to be terrorists themselves, while allowing it to become the scourge of the free world. If there are, indeed, any non-terrorist Muslims out there, they and they alone could end the cycle of hate and murder by standing up to the monsters. Instead of endlessly whining about being "profiled" or saying what a great religion Islam is, they could show the world that their faith is one of peace by fighting the evil that has taken over a large part of it. Probably too much to hope for. They seem big on lip-service and invisible on action.

You might want to see the show before judging it.
There's a chance this particular blogger might have a little bias of their own.

And as a speaker of Japanese I can assure you, a translation is INCREDIBLELY open to biased manipulation.

I've seen the exact same thing you've written about here in your post, and I was just as horrified as you were...
Teaching a new impressionable generation to hate right out of the box is unconcienable...morally and ethically WRONG!!
It's the same thing that happens here with the White Supremist groups such as the Ku Klux Klan...
They teach "infants" to wear Klan outfits and start hating before they're even able to utter one intelligant word...
Go figure,
Take care,
Nick

Nick, young minds are the easiest to mold. Children have been trained to believe all sorts of things, all the way back through time. The KKK, the Nazi's, Communists, and Terrorists all start their kids learning young and look at the terrible things they do when they grow up! The main difference that I can see, is that most groups or cultures don't try to teach their own young to blow themselves up like the terrorists do.
I've written so many blogs, it's hard to recall them all without going back and re-reading every one. Sorry if I repeat myself from time to time.

So there's the truth. You believed the story that was given on a conservative, biased news station, relied on a translation of a language that you don't understand (and have never heard of apparently) they provided, and accepted it all without question, then regurgitated it on your blog in an exagerated way without evidence to support your claims.
If you give me the name of the show I'd be interested ot give it a look.

but a person might themself try loving kindness for a change and generosity and see how the scorpions are symptomatic of thousands of years of poverty with little to quench their thirst
however, they also will be judged at the late morning hour
by their own hand
for one cannot sleep in the dessert
any longer

youranter, Arabic is a language, Farsi is a different language, so is French an English language? Doesn't make sense eh?
I think what you haven't heard of is the different dialects of the Arabic language, theres the classical dialect, theres an Egyptian dialect, theres a whole bunch of others, but they're as different as American accent English is different to Australian accent English.
I'm not surprised at this ignorance you're showing youranter, you and bradish both know very little about Islam or even Middle Eastern culture, your very idea that Farsi is a 'type' of Arabic is laughable, Farsi is a type of Persian language.
I would like to know the name of this show, it seems like this 'news' was taken off an ultra-neo-conservative culture hate sight hence the lack of detail, those websites never ever give the full picture.
You want us to just take your word for it right? Yeah, were morons, we'll believe ANYTHING you have to say, but the fact you didn't give a name speaks bucket loads for your credibility.
Heck, for all I know you're talking about 'Adams World', featuring Adam, the Muslim Puppet. Yeah I have that series on DVD, I know this will fall on deaf ears but it has nothing about war or violence in it.
Edit: I decided to search for it myself, the show is called 'Farfur', it's sponsored by Hammas (a political group, not a religious one, like the Bush Administration) and it seems like this picture has stirred up all the controversy:
Oh wait, thats not right, lets add some 'subtitles' to the proceedings:
I searched through CNN and BBC for 'farfur' and came up with nothing. The show seems to be like any childrens. In fact the only websites showing it off as you are are second rate hate sites (such as this very one).
Perhaps you'd care to fall back on your 'the media is liberal' argument now?

Arabic is a language, Arab is a person from an Arab region, theres a difference there.
This goes back to you calling people from Arabian areas 'Arabic' which is inaccurate, people from Arabian areas are correctly referred to as 'Arabian' or 'Arabs'.
People from Arabian areas may or may not speak Arabic, thats another matter entirely.

Like I said, Arabic is one language, again, look it up.
To find out about its dialects
Compare it to Persian, it has languages that are like it, in fact as it mentions on wikipedia: "Farsi is the arabicized form of Parsi, due to a lack of the /p/ phoneme in Standard Arabic."
Do a search for Farsi on Wikipedia and it redirects you to Persian.
Need I go on?

"And you tell me not to trust newspapers or TV newscasts. You're right. I won't take it any farther. You're too thick to understand."
I have a mind of my own, but I do take everything into account, so if the BBC or CNN or The Times mentioned Farfur the terrorist mouse then I'll take that information into account.
Until then though, you have nothing but rumors and assumptions made based on those rumors.

That said, I'm still looking for a decent article on Farfur the mouse to make up my own mind.
EDIT - found one - looks like the poems and songs are pretty acurate, possibly, but I'm still looking for a more central news sourse. Dunno about the pantomine. Don't know about the timeslot either, which could be telling. Also, saying the whole show is 'about' the things you've mentioned seems pretty misleading, but yeah. Like I said, looking for a more central news source.
Now woudn't it have been easier to throw down some references and the show's name in the first place?

Fox gets things wrong all the time, so does the ABC, I'm not defending anyone, but Fox is the only one that gets away with accusing Kerry of looking 'too french' and not having its viewers drop by 90%.

You still think Farsi is a 'type' of Arabic?
Are you still going to call people from Arabian areas 'Arabic ' instead of correctly referring to them as Arabs?
I don't actually watch any one TV show, believe it or not I get my news from a variety of sources, it's always good to have another perspective, don't you agree?

SL - I've seen bits of Fox, but truth is, its not in Aus.
Finally I can see that the show is real, or was, now that I've got some info, but you can hardly blame my scepticism, seeing as this blog has come issues with credibility. This post had not references, or names, and came to the typical Muslim bashing that I've come to expect.
Also your depiction of the show was excessive, I would think, after seeing some. It's certainly quite insidious, but not quite the insanity suggested.
And you conclusin (typically, Muslims are bad) is also crap, after the show was taken off air - by Muslims.
Oh. And SL I see you think ratings mean quality? Guess you're a Big Brother fan...
