Cairo Mob Attacked CNN: 'They Were Animals'
Arutz Sheva ^ | 11/9/11 | Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

CNN journalists described the Friday mob that attacked them during the riot at the Israeli embassy as “animals.” One other journalist was called a spy and was almost raped.

The worldwide news site reported a scene that brought back ugly memories of the gang rape of CBS reporter Lara Logan earlier this year during the Arab spring uprising against the Mubarak regime.

CNN reported that one person in the mob on Friday called Dina Amer, a woman member of another American crew, “a spy.” A CNN producer who is an Egyptian approached to rescue the woman from the rioters, but “the mob overwhelmed the pair,” the network reported.

"I was thinking, how powerless I was because there was no police to save us," said the producer, Mohammed Fadel Fahmy. "I was worried that they were going to rape her."

Someone shouted to Fahmy that there was a nearby car, and he brought the “spy” into the vehicle, which belonged to a television crew.

“When Margaret Warner, a correspondent with the PBS program ‘Newshour’ managed to get the vehicle moving away from the crowd, men threw stones at the departing vehicle,” the journalist said.

But the stone throwing was reduced compared to last riot, so this was a pieceful demon-stration.

stone throwing was reduced /

They must have used all the big throwing stones in the last riot. It must be a lousy feeling when you show up to a rock throwing rally and all you have is a fist full of pebbles. s/

It took CNN this long to figure out these subhumans are animals? Better late than never I guess.

It’s typical of the MSM that, only after one of their reporters is threatened with rape, that CNN gets it right.

Foreign reporting is always a risk. My daughter in law used to do it until she had her first child, and she has stories that would literally curl your hair.

That was a time when there wasn’t the insatiable demand by the 24 hour rolling news channels for on location reports, too, so she (photographer) and her writer companion could actually consider their own safety sometimes!

“They were animals,” said Amer.”

Tsk, tsk! Not very PC! I expect she will deny ever having said this once she reports back to her masters at PBS.

These journalists are pretty dense, ain’t they?

You’d think after the Logan incident, they would have learned a couple of things. A couple of points that come to mind in no particular order:

1. Don’t take female reporters into these environments.
2. Go armed or take armed security with you.

But it appears they learned absolutely nothing.

I agree. Pretty frigging stupid considering how Muslim men react around foreign women.

CNN liberals -- vile hypocrites -- all of them. One of their propagandists posing as a reporter finds that her Muslim friends aren't so nice after all -- well that's an outrage. But sawing off heads of "infidel" Americans and Jews -- well, that's just a cultural thing that everybody just has to accept and "understand."

What ever have they to fear from piece loving Arabs in a demoncratic country? It must be all Israel’s fault that they behaved that way. If only we’d stop occupying territory./s

“Animals”?
_
Why this is nothing but ignorant, irrational fear of the”other”.
_
CNN needs to follow the examples of Ghandi and MLK in non-violent tolerance of people who look different than themselves.
_
They need to ask themselves, What did we do to make them hate us?
_
This was an inside job-CNN faked the riots to gain viewership.
_
The Egyptians are the victims of a bad childhood.
_
Halliburton.

The PBS reporter calls them animals for yelling nasty things at her. Where was she and PBS when Egyptian clerics were on Memri TV saying things like this?

“Cleric Salem Abu Al-Futouh claims that Jews celebrate Passover by eating ‘sandwiches’ made with human blood. Naturally, they prefer Arab blood. And…they suck children’s blood like vampires. Of course.”

Take one imam and a bunch of muzzies, and pretty soon you have a violent, crazed mob.
