Saudi and Progressive Thought Police Hold Much in Common
As most who have studied Islam can attest to, Islamists and “progressives” hold much in common, including the love of censorship. Seems like “Arab information ministers” ( I wonder who will hold that title in the coming socialist administration in the US) are no more fond of Saudi talk radio shows than their “Progressive” counterparts in America.
Talk shows on Arab satellite television stations have been a forum for rollicking criticisms of Arab regimes and sharp discussions of taboo topics – especially live shows where listeners can call in with uncensorable opinions. But governments are now trying to rein them in. This week, Arab information ministers adopted a “Charter of Principles” seeking to regulate satellite broadcasts, raising fears among media circles of a concerted move to muzzle stations. “Some satellite channels have deviated from the right path,” Egyptian Information Minister Anas el-Fiqi told the ministers gathering in Cairo on Tuesday. “There are violations that have taken place, violations taking place around the clock, which require a serious stance.” The charter prohibits criticism of Arab leaders and religious figures and warns in vague terms of harming social peace, national unity, and public morals, demanding “adherence to objectivity, sincerity and respect to the dignity of the countries, nations and their national sovereignty.”
Don’t make the mistake of feeling comfortably safe from such Orwellian tactics in America. The Reprogressive and their good islamist friends are just as determined to strangle your free speech. Have you ever written a particularly vituperative email? I have. Not threatening, just angry. Well, so did former diplomat Patrick Syring and he now faces one year in jail for doing so. Think about it. An e-mail. Not a threatening email, but one expressing the contempt and rage that most sane Americans feel towards islamists.
If Zogby were a decent person, he would go after the Arab terrorists. Instead, he goes after patriotic Americans who use words to denounce those trying to make America fertile ground for Arab terror.
Zogby and his Arab American Institute (AAI) is in the business of silencing Americans who speak out. We at TMQ2 know this all too well (See: U.S. Arab Group Intimidates Google into Censoring THE MUSLIM QUESTION Blog).
In the case below, the AAI successfully put an American in prison for one year for sending a vituperative email. What’s America coming to?
Zogby Silences Americans
Here are a few excerpts from these so-called threatening emails.
- The only good Lebanese is a dead Lebanese. The only good Arab is a dead Arab. Long live the IDF (Israel Defense Forces).
- I think James Zogby is worse than Osama bin Laden. Since he supports Hezballah, he’s an anti-Semitic motherfucker, and the only good Arab is a dead Arab.
- You wicked evil Hezbollah-supporting Arabs should burn in the fires of hell for eternity and beyond. The United States would be safer without you. God Bless the State of Israel. God Bless America. Sincerely, Patrick in Arlington, VA.
- Praise for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for “bombing Lebanon back to the stone age where it belongs. Arabs are dogs.”
- Fuck the Arabs and Fuck James Zogby and his wicked Hizbollah brothers. They will burn in hellfire on this earth and in the hereafter.
- You are a fucking anti-Semitic Arab-American stooge who sympathizes with Hezballah (sic) terror.[7]
I fail to find that offensive, sorry. Fail to see a threat. Any anti-jihadist blogger can show you far more incendiary emails as well as direct, specific threats. For that matter, based on this, they ought to round up 99% of all the imans spewing hate behind their protected mosques.
Me? I have no doubt that a good many islamists would wish me dead. And I understand completely. The sentiments are mutual. The only time the government has any business sticking their nose into it is when words become actions. Failing that, Arabs and Islamists need to grow a pair. Not a likely event.

Hi Max -
Or like Obama going to Iraq with his fully paid-for media “reporting” on his choreographed tour.
Good lord, hadn’t heard of that mutation yet. Or, maybe I have, and his name is Obama.
Sorry… can’t get off the obama jag… I’ll be losing my mind long before November at this rate.
The Zogbys are going to make sure all opinion polls reflect a harmonious and unified populace by eliminating all dissenting voices.
What a freaking world we have these days
