Arab TV Director: Ground Zero Mosque would be ‘Monument’ for Terrorists

The director of Al-Arabiya TV, a popular Arab-language news station, wrote that "Muslims never asked for" the proposed mosque at Ground Zero, and "do not care about its construction," in a column for London daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat on Aug. 16. “I can't imagine that Muslims [actually] want a mosque at this particular location, because it will become an arena for the promoters of hatred, and a monument to those who committed the crime,” wrote Al-Arabiya director Abd Al-Rahman al-Rashid in the column, which was translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute.

Yeah, it just decided to build itself, and half the politicians in the country thought it was a great idea anyway.

This guy gets it. The Obama propagandists in the U.S. media don’t get it. They blame those big mean Republicans.

Oh dear, I’m afraid Imam Rauf’s triumphal fund-raising tour at our expense is going to come up a bit short of the needed petro-dollars.

If the director of the Al-Arabiya network himself is dumping on the 9/11 Reconquista mosque, footbath and squash court then it looks like the oil sheiks may have reached the limits of their charitable impulses.

Al-Arabiya is owned by the UAE. It doesn’t say anything the rulers there would not approve of.

I’m afraid the loyal Obamabots are sticking their necks out for nothing.

Er, well, that is unless The One is willing to send some porkulus money their way, what’s a hundred million nowadays?

Photobucket When the director of Arab TV speaks the obvious truth, yet our own President is in denial, that's a crime in itself.

American leftist loons don’t want to hear anything from people who actually understand this situation.

You know? Our politicians get it too. I keep thinking there has to be some $$$ tainting the public statements some of them are making.

Isn’t that the first media outlet to interview imam obama after he was selected to be president?
Hmmm.

Check out The One’s campaign finance reports. There were a LOT of small anonymous donations from GA.

Only GA wasn’t Georgia, it was Gaza.

There was also a largish donation from the American Museum Association.

Only it wasn’t museum, it was muslim.
