RED ALERT – Fox News Abandons Patriotic Americans by Selling Out to Muslim Interests

Canada Free Press.com

O’Reilly, Beck, Hannity, Van Susteren, Judas is thy name. I’ll leave Rupert Murdoch for you, my readers, to name


By Jerry McConnell Tuesday, February 16, 2010

imageA recent column of mine alluded to a deal that Rupert Murdoch had concluded with one of the Princes in the Saudi Arabian Muslim leadership. At that time there were no details available, but since that time we have seen Fox News and its affiliates swarming with actions favorable to our worst enemy, Muslim law.

Old favorites on Fox that once preached good old fashioned American values and candidates such as O’Reilly, Beck, Hannity and others are now, according to a fresh blog from Neil Turner, Citizens for the Constitution on February 15, 2010, “in the enemy camp, and will be promoting ISLAM, a political system that is abhorrent to our Constitution, as it advocates the overthrow of our Government and our Sovereignty BY FORCE!”


Turner furnishes an article written by John Charlton, February 15, 2010, The Post & E-Mail onsocialismisnottheanswer.wordpress.com in which Charlton states that “…the former conservative news agency” has entered into a campaign against candidates in Georgia and Texas who have announced their candidacy for governor who “also question the eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama to hold the office of U. S. President.” Namely, Georgia Gubernatorial Candidate Nathan Deal and Texas Gubernatorial Candidate Debra Medina.

Charlton went on to say that Fox “showed its true colors” by giving credence to a statement by an opponent of Nathan Deal who criticized Deal for pressing Obama to release his birth certificate. The opponent, Georgia state legislator Austin Scott, claimed Deal hindered working with the president by calling for “childish things like the president to show his birth certificate.”

I agree with Charlton that there is nothing “childish” about challenging Obama about his secrecy in not revealing a Constitutional requirement to confirm his qualification to hold that office. With all the uncertainty as to his legal right to run for the office and the mysterious actions taken by Obama to prevent public display of the original birth document along with just about every other document covering his life from child to adult, asking for verification is a stout showing of mature thinking as opposed to the charge of “childishness.”

Charlton finishes saying, “By this statement, FOX has made it absolutely clear to America that they will not tolerate anyone who will not work with Obama and be respectful to him”; as well as “American patriots need to start asking themselves what other so-called “conservative” sources of information have been bought out by the same forces, which want to keep Obama in power, for the sake of Islam.”

Another true patriot who offers opinions on NewsWithViews.com and other true conservative outlets including Canada Free Press, Dr. Laurie Roth on February 12, 2010 in the former, asked the question: “Who Is Influencing and Controlling Fox?

In her ‘get-right-to-the-heart-of-it’ style, Roth inquires of the reader, “did you know that the second largest owner of Fox, parent corporation Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp is Prince Ahwaleed binTalal of Saudi Arabia?” She claims that the Prince has been buying his anti-Semitic and Muslim way right into American life with $20 million gifts such as given to Georgetown and Harvard Universities for Islamic study departments.

Dr. Roth also states that the generous Prince gave $500,000 to CAIR the Council on American Islamic Relations but he also gave $27 million “to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers”, calling them “martyrs.”

She explains that the Prince is a rather close friend of Murdoch’s son James “who is known for his anti-Israel views and left wing radical environmental and global warming nonsense.”

These revelations may seem shocking to many of us, myself included, and a feeling of being betrayed somehow penetrates all of my senses and feelings. The entire Mainstream Media has abandoned all American patriots looking for assistance to prevent a socialist takeover of our country, but at least we thought we had Fox News Corp. on our side. Now sadly we find that they have deserted us.

All the more reason why we have got to start recruiting born and bred American patriots; cull the ranks of patriotic organizations and look for leaders to fight for our American ideals and get them elected to Congress. It’s our only hope to save our country from Islam rule and total socialism.

OK. We can’t trust Fox anymore so we have to look for online conservative voices that can be trusted to carry our message of freedom and right. When you do find a worthy candidate make it known to as many like-minded persons you can contact. This battle against evil and evil people is just beginning. Don’t give up. Keep fighting. We’re all we have left. And above all, tell them to be wary of sheiks in sheep’s clothing.

O’Reilly, Beck, Hannity, Van Susteren, Judas is thy name. I’ll leave Rupert Murdoch for you, my readers, to name.

Islamic Games Canceled After Dispute Between Arab Countries and Iran

Sunday, January 17, 2010

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — The Islamic Solidarity Games have been canceled after a dispute between Arab countries and Iran over the name of the waterway dividing them.

The Saudi-based Islamic Solidarity Games Federation says they cancelled the sporting event, which were meant to be held in Tehran in the spring, after Iran put "Persian Gulf" on the logo.

The five-year-old games were created to strengthen ties among the 57-nations of the Organization of the Islamic Conference.

Arab nations call the waterway the Arabian Gulf.

The games were originally scheduled for October 2009 but postponed in attempt to reach a compromise.

Note: This is too funny! No "solidarity" among Arabs! Are any of the Arab nations assisting the Haitians? Of course not, as they can't seem to get along among themselves long enough to consider the plight of Earthquake victims. BeeSting

Montreal man spared beheading for fatal school fight in Saudi Arabia


Linda Nguyen, Canwest News Service

Published: Saturday, January 09, 2010

OTTAWA -- A Montreal man who was sentenced to die by decapitation in Saudi Arabia for his role in a fatal schoolyard brawl three years ago has received a reprieve in the form of a retrial.

Saudi Arabia's highest court earlier this week revoked the death sentence against Mohamed Kohail, 24, and ordered a new trial, Canada's Department of Foreign Affairs said Saturday.

No reasons were given for the retrial, nor was a specific date.

Mr. Kohail has maintained his innocence as he's languished in a Saudi prison for the past three years, telling Prime Minister Stephen Harper in a letter he was tortured into confessing.

Mr. Kohail's younger brother, Sultan, was sentenced to a public flogging -- 200 lashes -- and one year in prison after being tried in a juvenile court for the same incident.

Sultan Kohail, who also maintains his innocence, now faces another trial in adult court, which could result in a death sentence for him as well.

Liberal MP Dan McTeague said Saturday he had spoken with the elder Kohail and that he was "very happy, but cautious" about the court decision.

"He rightly feels that this is the best news he's had in three years," said Mr. McTeague, who is the Liberals' critic for consular affairs. "Itry to give him as much encouragement while he's been there (in jail) and provide him hope."

Mr. McTeague said this court decision came as a surprise, because a lower court dismissed the appeal months earlier.

"My sense is that this is a very important first step in the right direction but he's not out of the woods yet," he said. "He's still in prison, perhaps for several months before a new trial."

Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Catherine Loubier said the federal government welcomed the "good news" and that it will continue to provide consular assistance to the Kohail family.

"We are in contact with the family and family's legal counsel," she said in an e-mail. "This case continues to be a priority for the government."

Ms. Loubier said government officials will make regular visits to Kohail to "verify his well-being."

Mr. Kohail, a Canadian citizen who was living temporarily in Saudi Arabia, was sentenced to death by beheading after he and Jordanian friend Muhanna Ezzat were convicted of killing 18-year-old student Munzer Al-Hiraki in a brawl in Jeddah in January 2007. The fight was captured on videotape.

During his 45-minute trial, a family spokesperson has said, Kohail was denied permission to speak during a brief five-minute appearance before three judges of the General Court in Jeddah.

The Kohails, who are of Palestinian origin, came to Canada in 2000 and became Canadian citizens in 2005. They moved temporarily to Saudi Arabia for the marriage of their daughter.

The Kohails have refused to offer a $5-million blood-money settlement to the victim's family, which under Saudi law, has the power to spare Mohamed's life. The family argues that doing so would amount to an admission of guilt.

All along, the Kohail family has pleaded for the Canadian government to intervene in the sentences of their sons, arguing the two received unfair trials.

The defence was not allowed to call witnesses or submit medical evidence. The family also claimed evidence dismissed in court showed the two brothers were trying to escape from a mob and did not cause injuries to the Syrian student.
