Amanpour's Apologia
IBD ^ | August 27, 2007

Posted on 08/27/2007 5:46:26 PM PDT by Kaslin

Global Jihad: CNN's chief apologist for Islam, Christiane Amanpour, has gone too far this time. Not content to just whitewash jihad, she says Jews and Christians are terrorists, too.


According to her new three-part series, "God's Warriors," militant Islamists are really no different than right-wing Christians or Jews. So who are we in the West to judge?

Of course, it's cultural relativism — and journalism — at its worst. What's stunning is the lack of evidence Amanpour provides to support her case.

That CNN would give her six prime-time hours to peddle such tendentious trash to a public still under real threat from Islamic terror speaks volumes about the network's agenda.

The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America slammed the series as "one of the most grossly distorted programs" ever aired on mainstream American TV.

CAMERA was being kind. Amanpour's premise that Christianity and Judaism have spawned just as many terrorists as Islam is absurd on its face.

Given the lousy ratings they deserbedly get, she will be lucky to beat out Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann who barely beat the ratings for viewers watching paint dry.

She CRUSHED everyone. Even O'Reilly.

A relatively thorough description and review of 100 years of totalitarian propoganda.

I never liked The antiChristiane ever before this joke of a series.

The substance of her crapola is one thing . . .listening to that awful voice is another.

Why doesn’t she go back to live under islamic law in Iran if it’s so wonderful? I guess some people are too stupid to learn from things that happen right in front of their eyes. CNN has made itself even more irrelevant than it already was.

Wasn’t Amanpour the creepy little wench that got herself banned from Bagdad? I also remember seeing a pic of her wearing a beard and islamic rags for some undercover propaganda shoot for the pig haters a few years back and then got herself fired or made some kind of vow about CNN. Never paid much attention to any details when the name Amanpour came up.

Except for her pure anti-Americanism and underhanded backstabbing reporting tactics, she’s just another BS artist.

one person who was profiled really pissed me off-she was a butt ugly hag wearing a hat like an upside down soup kettle who was a wall street lawyer who said she couldn’t feel fully American as a jew and still comes back to collect money from sympathetic christians while saying thaat you should always take advantage of your friends-it almost seems like david duke planted her -i got a message for her-i can only feel like an American,because that’s what i am-being a jew is secondary to my national identity as an American-she needs to keep her ass in israel if that’s where she feels comfortable-i bet they could do without her too-there are lots of these “zionists” who line up for the first flight home when rockets start flying-doesn’t she realize that she feeds right into the lies told about jews having dual loyalty?some undoubtedly do,but they are in a small minority-yet they keep pat buchanan happy whenever they make asses of themselves like she does

"You see! Islam is just like Judaism and Christianity! There is NO difference between them. Muhammad was just like Moses. Got that? The Koran is no different than the bible, just better. OK? Jesus taught love and mercy, and so do.....err.....well, they are all the same, because Jews and Christians are HYPOCRITS!! Aha! Got that?!! Good!"

Bingo. Just Don’t Watch.

This would be a pretty obscure Web site, if we all had that attitude, now wouldn't it?

How about her and CNN's affect on America and the World?

It's not about "me."

Where are devout christians blowing themselves up? where do they talk about establishing theocracy?

Around the world, we have a long, long reputation of being so audacious as to get in the way of bullets, knives, clubs, fists, ropes, and chains.

Nasty Christian fundamentalist extremists.

O Margaret Mead, come and save us from them.

She compared a dress code at a Christian college to the Taliban.

And she sounded ridiculous to any sane person in doing so.
