Zogby Slams Reports of Celebrating Arabs as "Urban Legends" (MAJOR BARF!)

[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!

I clearly remember that woman from the 9/11 celebrations. That is authentic. As I clearly remember some of the others- especialy the children.

[Joe Brower]

None of these are from the U.S.; they are from Indonesia, Pakistan, and the Palestinian territories.

In #67, is that piglet Shillery????

[texasbluebell]

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

Thanks for clearing that up. I had no idea it wasn't.

[Austin Willard Wright]

Wow...a voice of reason on FR.

[Phantom Lord]

I clearly remember that woman from the 9/11 celebrations.

Your mind is not as clear as you think. That picture predates 9/11 by at least 1 year. If FR had a usefull search engine like it used to, I would find some threads for you with her in it that are older than 9/11/01

Zogby's not a "bad guy," but like most "minorities" in the U.S.

He is a bad guy. I've seen him lay the spin on hot and heavy. By spin I mean pro-Islamic spin and the louse is an Arab of Christian ancestry. I am sure he gets paid well for his shilling. By a foreign power perhaps?

Abu Hillary bin Laden.

Well- I remember her and one of the other ones- kids getting candy handed to them- she was in the same sequence as those children in other pictures I have seen. I remember her clearly.

Zogby is discrediting himself bigtime when he attempts to deny what has been recorded for posterity: some of the least defensible public behavior in recent history.

The OJ defense won't work in the court of public opinion, Zogby; you Ummah loving idiot.

[N. Theknow]

Boy, that audience is stupid if they fell for that one.

Um, it was an NBC studio audience. 'Nuff said.

[itzmygun]

I remember that too. It was on Fox News in the days following 9/11. I remember her all too well.

[who knows what evil?]

You are mising MY point. Intentionally, I now believe.

Wow...I have never met a real psychic...one who is able to discern my intent telepathically from great distances. Actually, I agree with a number of your points. However, the point of the thread was to point out that John Zogby is a lying b*stard when he points out that there were NO CELEBRATIONS by the Arab community in reference to 9/11. Were these celebrations carried out by Arab 'extremists'? Perhaps. Were all reports of celebrations true? Probably not. But Zogby's statement that reports of these celebrations are NOT TRUE is false. End of story.

[Post Toasties]

Zogby's relatives celebrating the deaths of 3000 Americans on 9/11/01.

[OldFriend]

My G-d......Brokaw is using this as a forum to bash the President. The hatred from a woman who lost her daughter is going to consume her.......

Now I am shaking with rage.

[who knows what evil?]

My son, who was in Manhattan on 9/11 also saw the celebrations. He had to walk past them on his way out of the city.

Some people on this thread seem to believe that your son is just cultivating an "urban legend".

[Drknows]

Hey you revisionist assh.le: Didn't you hear about the "Jihad" against the world of "infidels", e.g. non-muslims like us?

They celebrate 9-11, but the cowards they are (and the stupid you are) deny it. No balls. Islam is Evil and their Mahomet was the personification of Satan. So, pick your side!

[Right Wing Professor]

The snopes.com web site confirms that celebrations really did happen

http://www.snopes.com/rumors/cnn.htm

They seem to conclude that stories about Arab-American celebrations in the US are largely false, but stories about Arabs celebrating in the Mid-East are certainly true.
