New York, New York (AHN) - Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal has purchased 5.46 percent of the Fox corporation according to the paper Gulf Daily News. The Prince is best known for having a $10 million dollar check returned to him after he donated it to the city of New York after 9-11.

Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani sent it back after bin Talal said the attacks were because of US foreign policy and support for Israel.

Prince bin Talal is the nephew of the late Saudi King Fahd and owns $10 billion dollars worth of stock in Citibank.

He has set up centers and universities in Cairo and Beirut to teach the American political system and has a net worth of over $21 billion dollars.

Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal has purchased 5.46 percent of the Fox corporation, according to Gulf Daily News, raising concern that the conservative Fox News may soften its anti-terror stance due to the views of the new shareholder.

Al-Waleed, the nephew of the late Saudi King Fahd, was in the news when he visited the World Trade Center's remains just after the September 11th attacks and offered then-New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani a $10 million check for relief efforts. Al-Waleed then released a statement blaming US foreign policy and support for Israel for the attacks. Giuliani returned the prince's check with a statement that, "There is no moral equivalent for this attack. The people who did it lost any right to ask for justification when they slaughtered . . . innocent people ... Not only are those statements wrong, they're part of the problem."

"...YOU HAVE BEEN OLDED" and your tag line states "Executing assigned posting duties FLAWLESSLY, zero mistakes"

What happens to someone when they have been "OLDED"

It is possible the poster did not get an immediate hit. It took 3 variations of my search to locate the original thread. "Search" is not a flawless function.

I did not see the first posting of this article,so many others didn't see it either..I say leave it up..

Besides that doesn't Saudi's own a good portion of this country..They are just doing what they promised to begin with.As for FOX I am beginning to watch who I watch on there and do not make it my source of information any more..I look up things not depend on the news media and that includes FOX..



this was sent to me in an email..----

KNOW THE FACTS!

Appx. 80% of all mosques in the United States are funded by the
Saudi Arabian government. The Saudi Arabian government supports extremist ideals, and funds many organizations within America.

Constantly in America, plots by Islamic extremists are being thwarted. Most of these plots are planned out by Islamic extremists who are U.S. citizens.

- In recent months there were the Muslim clerics in New York who were arrested for attempting to obtain Land to Air Weapons in a plot to shoot down American planes. These were U.S. citizens who adopted extremist ideals. Article

- Mosque leader in Orange County, California admits to having trained 'Azzam' the American Al-Qa'eda member, who appeared in a tape recently, threatening America with an attack that will "dwarf" the September 11th attacks. He was a Muslim convert who was trained in Islam in Garden Grove, California. Article

Many U.S.-based Islamic charities fundraise for the Palestinian militant group Hamas, as well as other terrorist organizations. We encourage our own government, as well as Islamic leaders to crack down on such organizations. Article

We must act now, before it is too late. Educate yourself and others, Influence society and the government, read up on THE FACTS!

WAKE UP AMERICA!
Read some of the facts!
