Get a life, anti-Arab anti-Muslim bigot. First, your are calling CNN Al Jazeera (when Al Jazeera is far more credible than CNN or FAUX Noise combined), just because to you and your fellow anti-Muslim bigots using Arabic sounding words to whine about CNN probably makes sense.

Goes to show the deep anti-Muslim anti-Arab hatred and bigotry of Zionists and rightwing nuts. No wonder the rest of the word hates you. Thanks for proving the point.

On first reading I thought onedoofus's comment was parody. But no, he's serious! These guys are beyond parody.

For a good read on Sayyid Qutb without the clutter there's Paul Berman's the Philosopher of Islamic Terror.

I love moral equivalence, it makes everyone feel so much better. Well, I should say thank you to Ms. Amanpour, because I had no idea that I as an evangelical Christian have been enabling those evil Zionist oppressors. I say that with sarcasm of course.

I only saw some of the episode dealing with the Jewish warriors, aka the Zionist oppressors. Did she mention how Arabs living in Israel have a much higher standard of living than if they lived in Jordan, Egypt, Syria or any of the other Arab states? Did she also mention how Arabs in Israel can vote? Like I said, I didn't watch the whole episode, because I wanted to keep my dinner down.

Maybe she could include a 4th installment of God's Warriors. She can travel to Indonesia where Christian schools are being torched by Muslims, or to Pakistan where Christians meet underground because conversion to Christianity, well you know what happens there.

But then again, I learned after watching CNN, Christians and Jews forced them to do that. What a joke.

A note to all of the Jewish readers, PLEASE, PLEASE, don't equate all of us Christians to Jimmy Carter or Karen Armstrong.

Oneguy:

I have a life. I'm a Jewish Hollywood screenwriter and producer. Naturally, we own Hollywood, and Wall Street, and The Federal Reserve. I drive around in a red Ferrari, hang around with stunning movie stars and make fun of Muslims and Arabs all day long. Yup, it's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it, and who better than this Zionist dog. Salaam Aleikem.

The embarrassing thing is I emailed my friends almost exactly the same rant about the Hills. :)

Kishke:

I just tried to parody oneguy. It really is hard.

Soccerdad:

Thanks so much for the tip. You want clutter, try reading Qutb's opus "Milestones."

Again, I fault the pols. If Carter had acted decisively and effectively against the IRI in 1979, there's be no basis on which to compare the hostage-taking to diplomacy.

Billybob:

Thanks for jumping in. No, Al Jazeera lady did not mention that one million Arabs live peacefully as citizens in the state of Israel. Of course not. She did not mention anything that would put Israel in a favorable light.

Seraphic Secret strongly supports and welcomes support from our Christian friends.

We recognize Jimmy Carter as a hard-core Jew-hater, and Karen Armstrong as a deeply confused woman who enables jihadists everywhere.

this Zionist dog

Why do these people always use dog as the insult of choice? Zionist dogs, capitalist running dogs, Jewish dogs. They are fixated on dogs.

Katie B:

What is with Audrina? I mean she's good looking, not too dumb, and the guy is like so filthy I don't think he's washed his hair since The Gilmore Girls premiered. And his monologue in the bar was incomprehensible. Karen and I looked at each other and went: "What did he just say?" I think Audrina has serious self-esteem issues.

Thorazine might help. About 500 mg's per hour.

Kishke:

Dogs are a big no-no in Islam. Totally Tamei.

Robert,
I forgot the location for the next "How We Zionists are Going to Control the World, Including the Weather, Etc. Meeting." Don't worry you can tell me where it will be in the secret code language, Hebrew.

Jeremiah:

Carter only acts decisively against Israel/Jooz.

Hi -
I'm a Debbie Schlussel reader and just wanted to say that your posts on this CNN nightmare are just great. I appreciate them.

Amanpoor's idea of "balance":

God's Warriors:

Jewish - evil settler with M-16;
Muslim - innocent housewife with frying pan;
Christian - abortion doctor killer with pistol.

No sign of any muslims with AK-47s or RPGs. No, jihad is the inner struggle of cooking dinner in a hajib.

Alice:

Poolside, natch. Chateau Marmont. Full Moon. Look for coded messages in Seraphic Secret as to date and which secret Zionist handshake we will be using. Don't forget to bring your "Dummies Guide to Making Fun of Arabs and Muslims.":)

Carpe Diem:

Thanks so much for the kind words. Debbie is a good friend. Nice to have readers in common.

XP:

I see you too are an anti-Muslim anti-Arab bigot Zionist dog.

Welcome to the club:)

Dogs are a big no-no in Islam.

It's not just the Arabs. Don't you remember "capitalist running dogs?"

"I think Audrina has serious self-esteem issues. Thorazine might help. About 500 mg's per hour."

I think you nailed it. He abandoned her in Vegas and she still wants to go out with him? Definitely self esteem issues. Bleh.

Is it just me or does Spencer look like he's had about five too many face lifts? Scary.

On a side note- I love this blog- politics, Israel support (and the Hills)! Keep up the great work Robert!

I think you owe Christiane Amanpour the courtesy of using her name, although the 'Al Jazeera lady' appellation could also be introduced, but as something less than a mantra. You name her only at the very end of Part I, never in Part II.

You don't abuse Karen Armstrong in the same way.

Truth is always in the eye of the beholder. I'm waiting for Part III in a few minutes, and will then look for balance between the parts, according to my rarely impartial view.

Please, Robert Avrech, include an assessment of balance among the parts after you tear them all apart. Thank you. And keep writing!

Robert,

Actually, I am a member of the anti-Islam, Christian Zionist, running dog capitalist club.

Kishke:

Communists hated dogs? Who knows. Anyone who hates capitalism is beyond human comprehension.

Katie B:

Spencer also has that monotone voice that brings out the homicidal maniac in me. We really hate him.

Thanks for the kind words.

Patrick:

You're right, I should have mentioned Amanpour's name, and I have. I rewrote the ending. Thanks so much for the valuable editing suggestion.

Since the central point of the post was distraction as anodyne to pulling the hair out of one's head, I need to mention that the appelation "running dogs of capitalism" stems from Chinese communists, not communists in general. The Chinese have always had a complex relationship with dogs and dog ownership, partly because dogs were associated with landowners. More recently, dogs became a symbol of self-indulgence and waste.

and chinese eat dogs....

also "running dogs of capitalism" is not just limited to Chinese communists; in the old days, industralists have dogs to guard their houses, to keep the peasants away.

That's why defenders of capitalism are often compared to those kind of dogs.

Our pal the Elder fisked this too at

CNN's and Amanpour's biases.

CNN has another balanced report here.

It is more than a little frustrating to see such nonsense. I don't ask that they sugarcoat everything and pretend that it is all sunshine and roses, but balance would be nice.

Christiane Amanpour is an idiot - there are nuts in everyone's religion but to make them all sound equivalent is complete garbage.

She could have used 5 hours and 50 minutes of the overall 6 hours of the series on Islam (and doing it properly, not politically correctly) and then use the remaining 10 minutes for the Jews and Christians, credits, announcements for upcoming CNN (Bullsh*t) shows, and professing her undying love for Yassir Arafat (may he rot in hell).

Shabbat Shalom

Note to file for next Wordwide Jewish Conspiracy Meeting - I have already assigned Australia to a good friend of mine who is a strong non-Jewish supporter of Israel - Robert, can you please remind me so that we don't give it away twice?

But here's my really important question, isn't Lauren's desire to be 'sanctimonious yet hot mommy' to her friends getting WAY old? I keep expecting her to whip a ruler out of that sparkly clutch bag and start rapping some knuckles.

Onedoof-
We harbor deep anti-moslem and anti-arab hatred because they've earned every bit of it.

I think the upshot is, be suspicious of any group that doesn't like dogs.

maybe dogs with their admittedly, um, earthy ways are the real litmus test of one's ability to love and be tolerant

Robert, I read a blog called Israpundit daily as I'm sure you do. I could not even bring myself to watch that bile-inducing show as even the slightest anti-Israel comment would have forced me to hurl my tv ala Network! Last year in my hometown of Windsor,Ont., I was forced to watch thousands of arabic/muslim supporters march to protest against Israel during the pathetic excuse of the Lebanon debacle. This region is right across the river from where Debbie lives. As she can tell you, it is the largest concentration of arabs/muslims in N. America (Dearborn) aka Dearbornistan.

Please accept my sincere regrets on the loss of your son. I can't imagine anything worse. May you and your wife be comforted.
I have an idea for a script, and have been looking for a collaborator who is an experienced and successful writer. I understand the general reluctance of writers to receive unsolicited manuscripts or script ideas from strangers; but, maybe we could talk. I have a very good beginning, but don't have a middle or end. I've been looking for someone who would be sympathetic to my outlook, and I think that you might be he. If you have any interest, please e-mail me and let me know if you would like to chat. I will be in LA next weekend to visit my daughter and her family and my son. If you would want to meet, that would be great.
best,
kpp

Throughout the 1990s, Amanpour and CNN were key players in blood-libeling the Christian Serbs with allegations of genocide against the supposedly victimized poor innocent Muslim jihadists in the Balkans.

Well, after all this time, and exhaustive investigations on the part of those who have vested interests in proving Christians wrong and
Muslims right, no evidence has been found to back up those allegations against the Serbs. Rather than admitting any of this, CNN and others in the mainstream media have simply let the issue drop quietly off the radar screen.

The fact is that Amanpour, and all others who took part in this media spin at CNN, knew exactly what they were doing. They knew it right at the beginning and they knew it the entire time. No excuses can be made for any of them. They, and not the Serbs, have been and still are the true war criminals of the Balkans from the 1990s through the present.

I will come right out and say it, as I did back then: Amanpour and those who have been collaborating with her are evil people through and
through. They deserve the same fate as Josef Goebbels and Julius Streicher, and for precisely the same reason.

Rope, tree, corrupt journalists... some assembly required.

Let's all start posting some contact information for CNN and starting a campaign to call for Amanpour and everyone who has participated in her
evil activities to be fired!

If you have any suggestions or comments regarding how to remove this individual from her undeserved position of influence, feel free to get in touch with me via the email form in the "Contact Us" page at my website.

Robert, I have a couple of suggestions that you might consider developing in your screenwriting/producing career. Warning, you may have to move to a secure, undisclosed location! I think a made-for-tv film about honor killing is waaaaay overdue. How about a short film about this historical "despicable peace," when Mohammed murdered and banished the local Jewish community living on the Arabian Peninsula.

Zionist puppy : )

Chaya:

Oh, great, just what I need. As if I'm not enough of an outsider in Hollywood as it is. This'll be the kiss of death. Um, literally.
