I am highly opinionated with a firm grip on the difference between right and wrong. I pay more attention to the candidates and the issues than to precise party lines. My facts are just that... FACTS- and my opinions are MY opinions- Regardless of what the subject, you can always find a good read on my blog, I write about various issues and not everything is focused on the subject of politics.

"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.

WHAT?!? This is outrageous! I can not believe this! That is so sickening to hear...Teaching children at such an impressionable age to hate and murder? How much screwier can one get?

God help us all when those children grow up!

Yep. A new generation of monsters to deal with. Rosie O'Donnell said we shouldn't fear the terrorists because they're parents, too. I wonder if her kids watch Al Jazeera?

Anyone who reads or follows the news has known about this for quite a while, but I'm glad you put it into words. But before you get too down on the terrorists, why can't we just sit down with them and talk the whole thing over? Remember how adored Chamberlain was after his talks with Hitler? I would suggest we send some left wingers over there to do this. They seem to know more than the people who actually have an education and a bit of brain power.

Nasty Pelosi went to talk peace and look how much nicer they've become? Too bad they didn't keep her. Hey, we could get Gore and Suzuki to go and explain Glo-Bull Warming or is it Climate Change now (?) to Ahmadinejad and the others. I'm sure it would work wondders!! lmao

Natasha.

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.

Comment by S.L. Bradish

May 7th 2007 00:29
I don't get al Jazeera, sorry. What I saw and heard of the show was exactly what I said. The translation was very clear and the pantomime was quite unmistakeable, Brenton. I reported what I saw. Perhaps the bias here doesn't belong to me.

Comment by Brenton

May 7th 2007 00:34
Well if you can get me a link to the show I'd love to make up my own mind.

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

SL,

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

Brenton, maybe you should learn whatever language al Jazeera uses and then you can hear it for yourself. I watched it on Fox News Channel.

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.

Well, that would be ARABIC. That's what they speak in ARAB countries.

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.

something is being done

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

Brenton, I think ONE ARABIC language is Farsi and there are many other ARABIC languages. Something you apparently never heard of.

Comment by Brenton

May 7th 2007 10:56
Again - Do you actually know the name of the show or not?

Comment by Ahmed

May 7th 2007 12:56
I dunno if this is as real as you make it out to be.

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?

I get your point Ahmed. As you explain it, Persians (or Iranis) aren't Arabs because they speak a different language. Thanks for the update. I suppose Egyptians aren't Arabs because they speak Egyptian, nor are the Lebanese because they speak Lebanese. People of the far East all speak what? Japanese? Chinese? Korean? Maybe Mongolian. Nice try with the dialect thing, but as you see, it is rather unfair to chastise SL because she doesn't know all the different 'dialects'. You may return to your kiddie games now.

Comment by Ahmed

May 7th 2007 13:58
Farsi is a persian language, look it up on Wikipedia. It is not an Arabic language. Arabic is a language like English.

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.

Comment by Ahmed

May 7th 2007 14:04
Call it quits here and I won't press on, you're very much mistaken in your assumption here, you're thinking Persian languages, not Arabic languages.

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?

Comment by youranter

May 7th 2007 14:11
Wikipedia, the same one university profs won't let their students use because anyone can edit in whatever they want? Is that what you're using for justification? 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.

Comment by Ahmed

May 7th 2007 14:44
Umm, dude, TV Newscasts? Where? Where is Farfur mentioned in TV news casts or newspapers? Where is it on the BBC? Where is it on CNN? Where is it from a real news source?

Comment by Ahmed

May 7th 2007 15:02
Ah, the BBC speaks about WIkipedia: Really Long Link

"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.

Comment by Don Lee

May 7th 2007 16:12
Like most of the thinking people I know, I tend to listen to Fox News, too. At least they generally present both sides and not the liberal spin of the other channels. Maybe that's why it's got much higher ratings than the "mainstream media?" Keep reporting what you hear, S.L.!

Comment by Brenton

May 7th 2007 22:32
Well Don, looks like there might be a moral in this one for Fox viewers.

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?

Comment by Don Lee

May 8th 2007 00:06
Central news source? What would that be? I got so sick of the liberal spin of the "major netwroks" that I quit watching them. I've found Fox more reliable and accurate, without the Dan Rathers to interpret the news for me. Fox is beating the hell out of the other networks every day. Sounds like you're beginning to discover it, too, if you're finding that their story was right. You don't hear about it on the others, do you? I think such a childrens show is very newsworthy, don't you? Shouldn't people have a chance to know about it?

Comment by Ahmed

May 8th 2007 00:15
I'll leave you be, such claims that every news station in the world being biased is laughable to say the least.

Comment by S.L. Bradish

May 8th 2007 00:29
Don's right, Ahmed. You obviously haven't listened to all the networks and comapred them the way some people do. NBC started calling the War on Terror an Iraqi civil war and the others jumped on it. CBS had Dan Rather using false informtion to make Bush look bad and refused to apologise when their claims were proven false. ABC isn't guilt-free, either. On the rare occasions when Fox gets something wrong, they say so immediately and apologise if necessary. They make every effort to get it right the first time, with no political agenda. The political shows always present both sides of the story, unlike the others. Maybe you should try watching Fox before condemning it.

Comment by S.L.Bradish

May 8th 2007 00:31
Brenton, if I'd remembered the name of the show, I would have said so. But you managed to find it, didn't you?

Comment by Ahmed

May 8th 2007 00:34
Bradish, like I said, there is not a single major news outlet that has mentioned Farfur, like I said, it's just one big fat lie. Even if Farfur is funded by Hammas it has nothing you write here, your article is blatantly false.


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%.

Comment by S.L. Bradish

May 8th 2007 01:23
Ahmed, go back to watching whatever you like. Maybe you'll learn something from someone... could happen... I suppose... Whether or not you like Fox, it's still ahead of the rest in ratings because it's a better network. Like it or lump it.

Comment by Ahmed

May 8th 2007 01:27
So you still think Farfur is a propaganda device employed by Hammas to brainwash kids?

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?

Comment by S.L. Bradish

May 8th 2007 02:42
Ahmed, I bow before your vast knowledge! Now, pat yourself on the back for knowing more about your own heritage than the rest of us. And try watching Fox so you'll learn something.

Comment by Brenton

May 8th 2007 05:32
Ahmed found it.

I've yet to see the footage though. Still looking.

May 8th 2007 08:47
Wow! This has been the most entertaining list of comments I've ever read. Thank you all!

Comment by Brenton

May 10th 2007 02:49
Don - I just like to find a source with minimal bias. I like to interprate the news for myself rather than relying on Dan Rather.

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...

May 10th 2007 10:30
You really should learn to read Ahmed, before you go off on a tiirade. I called Egyptians Arabs, I called Lebanese Arabs, etc. I said Arabic language. Somehow you rail against me but you're only saying the same thing I did. Too bad your omnipotent 'Checkmate' didn't work out for you. It was fun watching you backpedal. It gave me the laugh of the day.
