Zogby Slams Reports of Celebrating Arabs as "Urban Legends" (MAJOR BARF!)
NBC television | September 11, 2001 | who knows what evil?

Posted on 09/11/2002 12:21:37 PM PDT by who knows what evil?

Did anyone happen to see the segment of 'America Remembers' featuring James Zogby and John McCain between 2:30 and 3:00 p.m.? If so, I can imagine you are as FURIOUS as I am right at the moment! Brokaw was speaking with a gentleman who had lost in wife in the World Trade Center holocaust last September 11th. He was angry with the "silence = consent" attitude of the Muslim community toward the murder of over 3,000 Amercans at this time last year. He cited a poll indicating that "90% of Muslims blame America" for creating the international climate of tension that led to this act of terror. He further expressed his outrage over reports that Palestinians/Muslims/Arabs had been dancing in the streets and handing out candy in celebration of what Osama and his depraved minions had carried out in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania. In addition, he mentioned that he had friends who had witnessed this in Patterson, New Jersey; among other locations. Having seen the pictures myself, I flew into a rage when I heard James Zogby (representing the Arab-American Institute) debunk these stories as "urban legends". He told the studio audience that these reports were NOT TRUE! Mr. Zogby, you are a lying b*stard, and you know it. To imply that this recent widower is laboring under the delusion of an "urban legend" when those of us who have seen actual photos of these celebrations is an unspeakable outrage. Did anyone else see this? Unbelievable!

Zogby is an Arab.

Most Arabs and Muslims were elated on 9/11.

Now, they just don't want to get nuked. They are afraid because Jimmy Carter is not President.

Personally, I want to nuke them. I am not alone.

I am skeptical of the pictures in the link you sent me. I know for a FACT that the one of the lady infront of the chips and salsa i several years old and had been posted on FR many many times long prior to 9-11.

That photo clearly not being related to 9-11 makes me doubt the others.

The celebrations did happen, but those are not photos of them.

The photo of the lady with the chip in salsa is NOT from 9-11. That picture is several years old at a minimum.

Not having a transcript it's hard to say, but I have a strong suspicion that Zogby was referring to Arabs/Muslims CELEBRATING IN THE US as an urban legend.

And it's indisputable that many of these reports, and I suspect the majority, were urban legends.

Is it possible that this actually happened in some locations? Possibly.

But it's someone disturbing that these NEVER seem to be personal reports; they always seem to be someone else telling someone they saw it and it gets posted here. Sometimes it is people saying family members told them but it's suspicious that it's always "A friend saw them celebrating" or "My son saw them celebrating."

That's good, because I was afraid when Jimmy Carter was president.

I am still shaking with rage. The revisionists are at work

It may help you to remember that a lot of people saw the truth with their own eyes, or know the truth from firsthand reports by trusted friends. Some of those just watched Brokaw and now realize the depth of his integrity as a journalist.

Everytime one of these scumballs gets on the air and tells a blatant lie, more eyes are opened.

Outside the US Muslims celebrated. Inside the US there are many reports of them doing so. Some reports are dubious to me. I sure wish there were some photos of the celebrations in the US.....Nothing was ever in the major media about them.

Just one question if I may. Were any of these photos taken here In the United States? Or are all of these from the middle east or other places around the world?

Not that it makes it any better seeing animals like this rejoice in tragedy wherever they are....but I'd like to know if any of these were taken here.

Thanks.

Second from the bottom is great. I believe that's from a Pallie refugee camp. Might be in Lebanon.
