For years, I have exposed the TV terror network of Al Jazeera – I have held press conferences, and protests, and have written numerous pieces exposing the terror network’s terror network.
Despite decades of evidence, American leftist leaders led by Hillary Clinton and Al Gore, consistently aligned with evil ideologies and jihad, have long worked furiously to norm and mainstream al-Jazeera, the terror propaganda network. Donald Rumsfeld called the broadcaster’s reporting “vicious, inaccurate and inexcusable,” and President George W. Bush joked about bombing it. Senior Bush officials caricatured the channel as an anti-Semitic, anti-American outlet for jihad incitement.
But Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State at the time, went out of her way to single out the Al Jazeera TV news network for praise….. “You’ve got a global — a set of global networks — that Al Jazeera has been the leader in, that are literally changing people’s minds and attitudes,” Clinton told that members of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Former Al-Jazeera anchor says TV network aids terrorists @AJEnglish @ajplus https://t.co/QOGgFRvq1g pic.twitter.com/oYExjtcVZR

MOHAMED Fahmy is the last person one would expect to make the case against al-Jazeera.
In 2014, the former Cairo bureau chief for the Qatar-funded television network began a 438-day sentence in an Egyptian prison on terrorism charges and practicing unlicensed journalism. His incarceration made al-Jazeera a powerful symbol of resistance to Egypt’s military dictatorship.
Today Fahmy is preparing a lawsuit against his former employers. And while he is still highly critical of the regime that imprisoned him, he also says the Egyptian government is correct in saying al-Jazeera is really a propaganda channel for Islamists and an arm of Qatari foreign policy.
“The more the network coordinates and takes directions from the government, the more it becomes a mouthpiece for Qatari intelligence,” he told me in an interview Thursday.
“There are many channels who are biased, but this is past bias. Now al-Jazeera is a voice for terrorists.”
Fahmy’s testimony is particularly important now. Al-Jazeera is at the center of a crisis ripping apart the Arab Gulf states. Earlier this month Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Bahrain imposed a political and diplomatic blockade on Qatar. As part of that blockade, al-Jazeera has been kicked out of those countries.
The treatment of al-Jazeera as an arm of the Qatari state as opposed to a news organization does not sit well with many in the West. This week a New York Times editorial accused Qatar’s foes of “muzzling” a news outlet “that could lead citizens to question their rulers” in the Arab world.
In some ways it’s understandable for English-speaking audiences to take this view. Al-Jazeera’s English-language broadcasts certainly veer politically to the left. At times the channel has sucked up to police states. The channel embarrassed itself with such fluff as a recent sycophantic feature on female traffic cops in North Korea.
But al-Jazeera English has also broken some important stories. It worked with Human Rights Watch to uncover documents mapping out the links between Libyan intelligence under Moammar Gadhafi and the British and U.S. governments.
Al-Jazeera’s Arabic broadcasts, however, have not met these same standards in recent years. To start, the network still airs a weekly talk show from Muslim Brotherhood theologian Yusuf al-Qaradawi.
He has used his platform to argue that Islamic law justifies terrorist attacks against Israelis and U.S. soldiers.
U.S. military leaders, such as retired Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, who commanded forces in the initial campaign to stabilize Iraq, have said publicly that al-Jazeera reporters appeared to have advance knowledge of terrorist attacks.
Fahmy told me that in his research he has learned that instructions were given to journalists not to refer to al-Qaida’s affiliate in Syria, al-Nusra, as a terrorist organization.
He said Qatar’s neighbors were justified in banning al-Jazeera. “Al-Jazeera has breached the true meaning of press freedom that I advocate and respect by sponsoring these voices of terror like Yusuf al Qaradawi,” he said.
“If al-Jazeera continues to do that, they are directly responsible for many of these lone wolves, many of these youth that are brain washed.”
Fahmy didn’t always have this opinion of his former employer. He began to change his views while serving time. It started in the “scorpion block” of Egypt’s notorious Tora prison. During his stay, he came to know some of Egypt’s most notorious Islamists.
“When I started meeting and interviewing members of the Muslim Brotherhood and their sympathizers, they specifically told me they had been filming protests and selling it to al-Jazeera and dealing fluidly with the network and production companies in Egypt associated with the network,” he said.
One example of al-Jazeera’s coordination with the Muslim Brotherhood revolves around Muslim Brotherhood sit-ins in the summer of 2013, following the military coup that unseated Mohammed Mursi, the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated president.
As part of Fahmy’s case against al-Jazeera, he took testimony from a former security guard for the network and the head of the board of trustees for Egyptian state television.
Both testified that members of the Muslim Brotherhood seized the broadcast truck al-Jazeera used to air the sit-ins that summer. In other words, al-Jazeera allowed the Muslim Brotherhood to broadcast its own protests.
That incident happened in the weeks before Fahmy was hired to be the network’s Cairo bureau chief. He says he was unaware of these ties to the Muslim Brotherhood until he began doing his own research and reporting from an Egyptian prison.
When Fahmy learned of these arrangements, he said, he became angry. It undermined his case before the Egyptian courts that he was unaffiliated with any political party or terrorist groups inside Egypt.
“To me this is a big deal, this is not acceptable,” he said.
“It put me in danger because it’s up to me to convince the judge that I was just doing journalism.”
Fahmy was released from prison in 2015, but not because al-Jazeera’s lawyers made a good case for him. Rather, it was the work of human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, who eventually got him safely out of the country to Canada.
Now Fahmy is turning his attention to al-Jazeera. He is pressing a court in British Columbia to hear his case in January against the network, from whom he is seeking $100 million in damages for breach of contract, misrepresentation and negligence.
Fahmy’s case is one more piece of evidence that the al-Jazeera seen by English-speaking audiences is not the al-Jazeera seen throughout the Muslim world. It’s one more piece of evidence that Qatar’s foreign policy is a double game: It hosts a military base the U.S. uses to fight terror, while funding a media platform for extremists.

The constant lying of every muslim about every other muslim and everyone else is slowly destroying the fabric of islam. Even among muslims, there has to he an element of trust fro them to function. That is being destroyed, the functionality and unity of islam is stretched, it will destroy itself from within.

Minor correction to the last sentence from the article to properly reflect the reality:

After hundreds and hundreds of years, they’ve only spread all over the world turning back all of humanity with fear and violence. After hundreds and hundreds of years, how much closer is pisslam to destroying itself from within?

Islam “will destroy itself from within.” I must humbly disagree. At no time in islum’s eternally ugly, totalitarian, vile, violent, bloody, fascist history has it spread to the degree it has today. Neither JP, nor Taiwan, nor Greece ever hosted the nexus of islamic infections, mosques, until the 21st century. Islum isn’t at its nadir, it’s at its zenith, excepting Burma.

The media in almost every single Muslim country cannot be trusted, all of it just regurgitates anti-U.S. and anti-Israel news every day and night.

Believe me, most of the media in Western countries cannot be believed. Evident now, the BBC is highly influenced by Muslims. Just consider their daily dose of ‘poor little ‘Rohingya Muslims” in re-settlement camps in Bangledesh, poor dear Muslims in Yemen, but just about no news when by the tens of thousands Christians and Yazidis were being brutally murdered by Muslims in Iraq and Syria. Consider what utter trash are the horribly biased CNN, MSNBC, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, CTV, ABC, etc. The news is being dished up by liars – who now more and more tell us they represent “truth”. Evident is that “truth” is to them a foreign concept.

True, the Western media is very pro-Islam, going on and on about poor Muslims in Syria or Myanmar or the Palestinians, every day and every night.

This is part of a letter I recently wrote to four departments of BBC:
“The BBC is now truly astounding! Over the last few years in Iraq and Syria tens of thousands of Christians and Yazidis have been savagely murdered by Muslims; decapitated, burned to death in coffins and steel cages, crucified to death, boiled to death in oil or water, children’s eyes gouged out before being either decapitated buried alive or cut in two; yet of these Muslim atrocities barely a thing has been covered by the BBC. Few if any graphic images appear. We’ve had to find out from other sources that are reliable.
“Contrasting that disgraceful silence, now day by day on BBC World News we see tear-jerking stories of Bengali Muslims from Myanmar – now called ‘Rohingya Muslims’ – in
refugee camps in Bangladesh.
“The appalling reality is this, Muslims have murdered tens of thousands of Christians and Yazidis in Iraq and Syria, Christians in Nigeria, Somalia, Kenya, Egypt, Libya, Mali, Central African Republic and elsewhere, and of all this little is reported by the BBC and U.N., but when 6,700 Muslims are killed in Myanmar in retaliation for the murderous actions of their people, somehow this is shocking news, an appalling atrocity and the naughty Myanmar military must be punished.
“Who actually believes this disgusting, one-sided rubbish? Who the hell is now running the BBC? The Muslim Brotherhood or some other worthless Muslim liars?”
BBC did not respond. Naturally. But constantly these frauds tell us they report ‘truth’.

I don’t know if it’s a wise idea to be writing these letters anyway except anonymously. Like the entire atheist West, the United Kaliphate is headed towards becoming an islamic state in everything but name.

Grover Norquist’s ties to Islamic supremacists and jihadists have been known for years. He and his Palestinian wife, Samah Alrayyes — who was director of communications for his Islamic Free Market Institute — are very active in “Muslim outreach.”
Just six weeks after 9/11, The New Republic ran an exposé explaining how Norquist arranged for George W. Bush to meet with fifteen Islamic supremacists at the White House on September 26, 2001.

The more i read and hear about George W. Bush the more I consider him ignorant, gullible and horribly blind to the wiles of Islam. Today he might hate Donald Trump, but I couldn’t be bothered shaking Bush’s hand. It turns out that he really is quite stupid. Part of America’s mess with Islamization is attributable to his willful ignorance and stupidity. Has anyone every asked him why he allowed Saudis to flee America right after 9/11 when few others could?

It is a knowing fact that Al Jazeera is supporting terror. It happened in Egypt, Syria and many other places. The Qataris, who support them, think that by this way they can appease the Arab/Muslims extremist.

Treasonous Al Gore sold his liberal cable network, which turned out to be an utter flop, to this Middle East mouth piece for islam in a deal that brought him an estimated $70 million. He flatly refused to instead sell it to Glen Beck, American talk show host and political commentator who tried to buy it. Beck was told no way within 15 minutes. Goes to show you the complete animosity the left has for conservatives in America. An animosity so great they choose islam terrorists over conservatism.
Knowing this, we have to ask why U.S cable companies added it to their programming anyway, underhandedly giving islam a pathway into millions upon millions of American households, spreading it’s savage propaganda.

I see the enigmatic Mrs Clooney has played her part in in bringing yet another muslim antagonist to the (slowly diminishing) free world and instigating another turn of that relentless wheel known as chain migration.
