| #2 As FrontPage contributor Alyssa Lappen reported, Al-Ahram “routinely features anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and Holocaust denial, likens Israeli leaders to Nazis, and praises suicide bombings.” Many Al-Ahram articles also liken the United States to Nazi Germany; portray American officials as war criminals; charge that the 9/11 attacks were in fact staged by the U.S. government; accuse the CIA and the Mossad (Israel’s intelligence agency) of having introduced the AIDS virus to Africa; claim that Jews had foreknowledge of the 9/11 plot and thus “none of them were there [at the World Trade Center] on the day of the incident”; and suggest that “what happened to the Jews of Germany, Poland, and Russia, was justified” because “they [Jews] kindle the people’s hatred and hostility and, as a result, people turn against them.” Riiiiiight, no Holocaust occurred but “what happened to the Jews of Germany, Poland, and Russia, was justified”. Al-Ahram is also a platform for Said disciple and Columbia University colleague Joseph Massad, an associate professor of modern Arab politics. In addition to his teaching duties, Massad is a contributing writer for Al-Ahram, where he recently condemned America’s alleged inherent “misogyn[y]” and “violent racism,” its predatory “imperial ventures,” and its “unyielding sadism against those who have the misfortune of living under its occupation.” According to Professor Massad, American fighter-bomber pilots have been known to “spend hours watching [pr0n] films to get themselves in the right mood for the massive bombing” they were about to carry out. Massad accuses U.S. soldiers of deriving perverse sexual pleasure from killing: “Iraqis are posited by American super-masculine fighter-bomber pilots as women and feminized men to be penetrated by the missiles and bombs ejected from American warplanes.” Freud would have a field day with the obvious repression that literally oozes out of this guy's writing. Muslims have some really serious deep-seated issues that they enjoy taking out on helpless victims. We need to expell those who intentionally distort facts and fabricate lies out of whole cloth. This sort of anti-Americanism is simply intolerable. If we cannot imprison such traitors they need to have their citizenship revoked. |

| #1 It staggers me that we do not prosecute people for treason. We may as well take that law off the books if it is never going to be enforced even when the evidence is blatantly available to the public. |
