At one point, an Arab Muslim called in from Germany and suggested that an appropriate subject to explore would be "the reason for many Muslims emigrating to the West."

At the word freedom, moderator Mahir Abudullah cut off the caller to take another call.

If he'd actually said this in person the sentence instead would have read "cut up the caller".

Thanks for the ping.

Islamic Law and Life. Do they broadcast stonings and beheadings?

Good afternoon, this is Ahmed Al-Jazeera, broadcasting live from Riyadh stadium where the temperature is 110 degrees and skies are clear. Should be a great day for a stoning, eh Abdul?

For some reason, no matter how legitimate they start out, Muslims and Muslim organizations cannot help ending up as shills for terrorism and hatred of the West. It's sad that the Emirate of Qatar couldn't resist turning Al Jezeera into an Arab propaganda machine. They could have been an important factor in helping to solve the problems between Arabs and the West.
