Arabia
85% of Al Arabyiah opinions say Bin Laden not responsible for 9-11
2004-09-14
From Hammorabi's sept 13 posting
Al-Arabyiah TV on the 11th Sep 2004 broadcasted a live programme about the New York Twin Towers attack in 2001... The question of the programme was "Do you think that there are organizations other than Al-Qaeda responsible for the 11 Sep 2001 attacks in NY?!"

More than 85% of the callers voted for YES! Less than 15% voted for no! Those who said yes think that Israel, the Zionists, and the USA are the ones that carried out the NY attacks in 2001! Some of them considered Osama Bin Laden as a hero Mujahed and others variably said that he is an American agent or (made in the USA) who shared the attack with them!

Some expressed very strange views by saying that GWB arranged these attacks as a gratitude to the Jewish who make him to win the election earlier! They explained that by this GWB send his troops to plunder the region's wealth and to protect Israel!...
Hammorabi considers this as evidence that the Arab world is insane. It reminds me of a Star Trek episode where Spock said {approx}, "In an insane world, the sane man is thought insane."

Abdul, go down to the bank and slay the Zionist Drysdale. He has insulted the honor of your sister Ellie-Fatima. Also, make sure the cement camel watering hole is filled.

#14  I think it's time for a remake of the Beverley Hillbillies.

Bedouins in Burbank.

#13  AC - Lol! What a visual... and, of course, it fired off a neural path I hadn't visited in awhile...

I'll prolly regret this, I'm sure, but *here is something (from cable TV, heh) that might cause Lawrence to write an entirely different Lady Chatterly's Lover, lol! It would spin a bunch of turbans, I'm sure.

SFW

* The codec is I-263 and a zip file for it is here. Use at your own risk and, no, I won't help you with installing it. Read the readme and do what you want. Is the video worth it? Lol, Of course it is! The vid's a scream!

#12  This highlights a primary reason for the affinity between the mass media and the Islamofascists: Arabs in particular are probably the most gullible large audience in the world.
This is not the result of some inherent inferiority or low intelligence, or even of moral depravity (except of course on the media side), it is simply the natural outcome of recent history.
In terms of media access, oil wealth and the growth of technology have resulted in the Arab masses being force-marched from the 8th century to the 20th (the 1960s specifically)in the space of less than 40 years. This has occurred with no opportunity for social, cultural, and political institutions and practices to catch up. The result is about what you would get if you went back to Chaucer's England and gave every peasant family their own cable tv setup.

#10  Dammit! I forgot all about Gigli. Guess we can lump Madonna's "Swept Away" in there, too. (I guess to be fair, I haven't seen either movie, but all those reviews can't be wrong.)

#6  mhw - I'm a white male, so I blame Bush for the dinosaurs' extinction, the Genesis crash, and Hip-Hop's popularity. And Sharon Stone's movie career.

#4  Doesn't look like a scientific sample to me. Sort of like polling Rush Limbaugh's audience on who will win in November.

Well if you live in LLL-land, you can blame whitey for any problem if you are black and you can blame male dominated society for any problem if you are a woman. If you are a white male, you can still blame Bush for any thing.

#2  Oops. "Actions." I meant, "Actions." "Ations" leaves too much to the imagination.

#1  Well, there ya have it. Let Binny off the hook. Just like everyone else (The Jews, US, Russia, etc.) was responsible for Beslan, too. I would love to live in a culture where everyone else is responible for my barbaric ations. That must be sweet.
