| [Iran Press] Iran's ambassador to Lebanon has urged dialogue between Muslims and Christians to foil attempts aimed at creating a rift between divine religions. Following a meeting with the patriarch of Lebanon's Maronite Church Mar Nasrallah Boutros Sfeir, Ghazanfar Roknabadi stressed the importance of dialogue and understanding between Muslims and Christians. The envoy strongly condemned the desecration of the Holy Qur'an, adding that any attempts to create strife between Muslims and Christians should be utterly rejected, a Press TV correspondent reported. He added that any insult to Christianity and Judaism or the violation of the sanctity of their holy books was also unacceptable, saying that those who burned pages of the Holy Qur'an cannot be regarded as Christians. Florida pastor Terry Jones floated the idea of torching the Holy Qur'an on the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks. Although the pastor called off his plans, other anti-Islam extremists in the US tore pages, and burned copies of the Muslim holy book on the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The act sparked outrage in the Muslim world with millions demonstrating across the globe to denounce the desecration of the holy book. |

| #4 It figures. The New York Daily News has a new editor in chief, Kevin Convey. "Convey, who keeps a poster of Che Guevara in his office..." |

| #3 DepotGuy, NYDailyNews reporting was much, much worse. Although they have removed it from their website, their first couple of reports regarding Derek Fenton were astonishing in their language. I was honestly shocked at their provocative and defamatory description of Fenton. They even put his name in the headline and gave what town he lived in. They were drooling to have his head cut off. No doubt as a warning to anyone else who would defy their dhimmitude. I think Fenton should sue the NYDailyNews in addition to anyone else he sues. Really outrageous that newspapers think crap like that is reporting. |

| #1 Although the pastor called off his plans, other anti-Islam extremists in the US tore pages, and burned copies of the Muslim holy book… Notice the verbiage Presstv uses here. In other articles the same term “extremist” is used to describe Mooselimbs when they go splodey-type or start chopping off heads. Maybe after the round the clock coverage of erratic behavior of some goofball preachers the MSM can explore the larger questions. Who are the people that equate symbol desecration with terrorism and genocide? Are some of these people considered “moderate”? And if so, what does that mean when it comes to “dialogue” and “tolerance”? Don't your breath. |
