Al Jazeera Boosts Beheadings
Insight Magazine ^ | September 28, 2004 | Youssef M. Ibrahim

Al Qassem hosted an Egyptian guest who over an entire hour was allowed to advocate, with sickening insistence, the beheading of hostages in Iraq as a legitimate act of resistance to what he called "these American dogs," regardless of whether the captives -- who are of many different nationalities -- are military personnel, civilians, aid workers, or spies.

Al Jazeera is the Arabic version of CBS. This makes my blood boils.

As the host of this unbelievable conversation, Al Qassem prompted, watched and blessed a so-called Egyptian political commentator arguing that people having their heads severed from their bodies in the most savage of ways is okay in the name of resistance to American occupation -- and more important -- to teach the Americans a lesson.

How about what this teaches Arab children? What will they retain when they hear gratuitous invitations to kill, slash, hate, demean and ostracize "the other", including innocent journalists, aid workers, and United Nations officials, both men and women who came to help Arabs of Iraq?

This subhuman slime needs to give thanks that I am not getting to decide how to respond to their barbaric behavior.

Naturally, same people who want Fox News off the air would scream bloody murder if the American military commandeered this Islamo-Fascist propaganda network to speak some sense to the Middle East.

I hate to picture Al Jazeera's version of "Survivor". Getting ratings in the Arab world must be a real killer.

True but I had something lower tech in mind. Like beheading 50 captives for each of the people they have beheaded. After the beheadings the remains will be fed to pigs. All this needs to be on video of course.

What's worse is that in an electronic voting on the issue, a huge majority of Al Jazeera's viewers encouraged decapitation while less than 10 percent voted against.

The calamity that most of those who voted for it were Arabs and Muslims living in the West with free access to the Internet, enjoying the full freedom of Western democracies

I can guarantee we'd see their recruiting of 12-16 year old boys go down quick. We'd see all the real Muslims turn away from terrorism. The Leaders of these groups are no more Muslim than I am. The junior terrorist would be turning in the location of the leaders in mass.
