FROM WND'S JERUSALEM BUREAU
'Black spinster' label pinned on Condi Rice Palestinian media use racist terms including 'colored dark skin lady' Posted: July 31, 2006 1:00 a.m. Eastern By Aaron Klein
JERUSALEM While U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has been in the Middle East meeting regional alongside Israel's military campaign in Lebanon, media outlets controlled by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party the past few days have been using racist rhetoric in their reports, referring to the American representative as the "black woman," "raven," "colored dark skinned black lady" and "black spinster." The Palestinian media coverage follows an article last week in which WND reported senior Fatah members staged an anti-American protest outside the main government building in Ramallah while Abbas met with Rice. Most media coverage of last Wednesday's Ramallah protests claimed ralliers were affiliated with Hamas and Islamic Jihad. According to a translation by Palestinian Media Watch, the PA daily Al Hayat detailed Wednesday's Ramallah protests in which Rice was described as a "raven" who "brings only destruction." Al Hayat featured pictures of ralliers brandishing anti-Rice placards, some reading, "Murderer Rice go to Hell" and "Get out." One placard had Rice drinking the blood of dead babies and stating, "I need more blood."
A cartoon last week in the PA controlled Al Quds depicted Rice pregnant with a monkey. A caption read, "Rice speaks about birth of new Middle East." In a previous article by Al Hayat, Rice is described three times as the "black woman," and her father, who was an ordained Presbyterian minister, was called the "black clergyman [who filled Rice's head with Bible stories]." The article warned, "Beware of this 'black spinster,' we don't want to say 'the black widow' out of respect for her femininity and her intelligence." A report this weekend by Palestinian Media Watch stated, "In addition to the offending news articles, the PA society is orchestrating demonstrations, children's activities, and hateful visual displays all personally attacking Condoleezza Rice." WND reported from the scene in Ramallah last week as hundreds of protesters gathered outside a meeting between Abbas and Rice, many chanting, "Down with America," "[Hezbollah leader Hassan] Nasrallah hit America," "Fire rockets into Tel Aviv," and "We don't need American money." Palestinian police clashed with some protesters who tried to shove their way into the government building. A group of ralliers who said they were affiliated with Fatah told WND they would try to charge Rice when she emerged. The main protest organizer, who was outside leading the crowd, was Zyad Abu Ein, a senior Fatah official and general manager of the PA's Ministry of Prisoners. Ein is well known to be a close Abbas confidante and is considered one of the most important members in Ramallah of Fatah's Revolutionary Council. Ein told WND aside from last week's street protests near the Abbas-Rice meeting, he asked Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails to stage what he called a "day of rage" against Rice's visit by not cooperating with prison wardens.

Secretary of State Rice is not only brilliant, original, imaginative, accomplished, and highly educated--she is also courageous.
It must be hard on these people, to whom saving face and the opinions of their fellow travelers are of overriding importance, to be humiliated by a woman.
Wha... racists? Palestinians? Arab press?
NNNNNAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW!!
"Is Condi single or married?"
Never married.
Evidently, after working for Bush 41 as an under-secretary to Brent Scowcroft, she left the government and moved to California to work in acadamia and to 'pursue a family' or something to that effect. Upon returning to government to work for Bush 43, a reporter (which one I do not recall) inquired of her task to pursue a private life and family and Condi responded "well, if that was my goal, then I have failed".
If she wants a family and hasn't met Mr. Right, my heart goes out to her. I hope she'll find him. It would be a shame to miss that.

November 8 2002 - Iraqi Sermon [FBIS Report]
Baghdad Republic of Iraq Television in Arabic, official television station of the Iraqi Government, carries on 8 November 2002 at 0901 GMT a live sermon from Abd-al-Qadir al-Jaylani mosque in Baghdad.
Shaykh Dr. Abd-al-Razzaq al-Sa'di delivers the sermon, which he begins by welcoming the month of Ramadan, emphasizing the importance of praying, fasting, reading the Koran, and giving charity in this month.
The imam alludes to Islamic jihad in early Islam and says Muslims are in dire need of this virtue, especially in this critical hour through which the Islamic nation is challenged "by Jews and crusaders, Americans and British," he says. "They think," he adds, "that they can intimidate us with their bombs, missiles, and sophisticated technology." But, we have the power of the Almighty God on our side, he says.
The imam then lets off an emotional tirade: "Who are you, O scum of earth? Who are you, O sons of monkeys and pigs, to threaten Muhammad? God is his Lord." He goes on: "Who are you Bush, you tiny midget, to threaten Muhammad and the sons of Muhammad? By God, we defy you with our words before our weapons. Who are you to threaten our sentiments and sanctities? May you be damned."
