Jihadists turn on al Jazeera
All is not well in the family:
Al-Qaida sympathizers have unleashed a torrent of anger against Al-Jazeera television, accusing it of misrepresenting Osama bin Laden’s latest audiotape by airing excerpts in which he criticizes mistakes by insurgents in Iraq.
Users of a leading Islamic militant Web forum posted thousands of insults against the pan-Arab station for focusing on excerpts in which bin Laden criticizes insurgents, including his followers.
Analysts said the reaction highlighted militants’ surprise at bin Laden’s words, and their dismay at the deep divisions among al-Qaida and other Iraqi militants that he appeared to be trying to heal.
“It’s not about Al-Jazeera, it’s about their shock from bin Laden,” said Diaa Rashwan, an Egyptian expert on Islamic militant groups. “For the first time, bin Laden, who used to be the spiritual leader who gives guidance, became a critic of al-Qaida and is confessing mistakes. This is unusual.”
“God fight Al-Jazeera,” railed one militant Web poster, calling the station a “collaborator with the Crusaders” for suggesting the tape showed weakness in al-Qaida and featuring discussions of how the tape reflected weaknesses and divisions among insurgents in Iraq.

Oh this should be very amusing
Well, well, well. I bet Al Jazeera is wishing they would have done a little more to track those individuals who dropped off tapes of bin laden instead of looking the other way under to “protect” their source.
What goes around, comes around.

This comes only a few days after an Israeli cable network decided to drop CNN in favor of Al-Jazeera. How far can CNN fall?
couldn’t happen to a more worthy group of biased propagandists …
Wow it is really starting to look like a very good news day. First they drop the charges in Italy against an American GI and now this. Once again the savages turn on each other instead of us (at least for now).
Station blowing up in 3, 2, 1….
HA HA HA HA
This is great. I just wish the Democrats would kick Osama out of the party
Whats that word you used dl?
Kerblooooeeeee?
lmao.
Sounds like Al-Jazeera is positioning itself to fill the gap between CNN and Fox News.
looks like our wittiw ow-kedda fwends went and shoots dem sewves in de foot!!!! (sniker)
Wait until they find out they BBQ pork chops behind the station on fridays, then their really gunna be pi$$ed off.
Allah wills it!
you suck aj
Al Jazeera upsets it’s base and so does Billy Boy Clinton….something’s in the water.
#15 feebiebabe:
In your remark I trust you were referring to Al-Jazeerra, and not to one of our fellow bloggers, right?
lol feebs.
#16 John Ansell,
Aren’t the Clintons and Al Jazeera like two peas in a pod?
Hi Granite,
It was in jest. He knows what he is doing (hint: feebs on a diet…AJ purposly making OT references to food…).
Total joke. should have added a smiliey face…
see!
I am sure AJ won’t throw me under the bus here…right AJ?
its all good, but it wasnt off topic sorta..
Feebs is friend not foe.
Feebiebabe:
Ah, I see.
Just a coincidence.
‘Course, I didn’t think it was an insult; but I has to make sure!
No only is feebs a friend, but AJ is too busy driving the bus in all that smoke to throw anyone underneath.
AJ, you are okay with the fires right?
just getting even for feebie throwing slim fast on me. lmao
LOL – you guys take care….feebs out early today. MWAH!
(my new favorite saying (c) Bear!)

Yes Trinity thanks, but 16,000 houses in the town I grew up in are still threatened.
A couple friends are waiting things out if they cant get back up the hill by weekend their coming here.
nite feebs.
Bye Feebs.
AJ, You and your friends are in my prayers.
PS. I’ll be passing through your way in the Spring. If things are still burning by then, I’ll bring my fire extinguisher.
Israel’s largest cable provider to drop CNN for Al-Jazeera
“It’s about to lose the right to broadcast CNN in Israel, but the country’s largest cable provider appears to have found a replacement: Al-Jazeera in English.
A contract with the controversial Gulf-based news network “should be finalized within a few days,” a senior representative of HOT Television told The Jerusalem Post Monday. Should the deal be signed, it will put Al-Jazeera’s English-language offshoot on the air around the time HOT drops CNN, said Yossi Lubaton, the company’s vice president of marketing.”

I can just see the cable providers in Israel thinking “Well, if we want to go get terrorist propaganda on cable networks, let’s just go straight to the horse’s mouth. Not to mention it’ll be cheaper”
Al-Qaida vs. Al-Jazeera. Sounds good. I need some popcorn.
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Poor jihadim
Why is everybody always pickin’ on them?
Nuke ‘em til they glow and shoot the survivors in the dark.
No mercy.
I wonder what Rageboy has to say about this?
LOL snoop. Shoot them when they glow in the dark. Reminds me of the pictures of the glowing pigs.
Since it is well known that the radicals will say one thing in English and something else in Arabic or Farsi, a good source of what’s really on their mind is the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), which translates the stuff the cutthroats don’t want us to read and posts it on its website.
“I know you are, but what am I?” They deserve each other.
I thought Al Jazeera was an Arab word for DemoKKKrat.
The upset is about Aljazerra misrepresenting what Obama said,do their reporters work for The New Republic too?
Where are the dhimicrats going to get there talking points now?
“Live by the sword, die by the sword.”
–and then fall on your own sword…preferably that one on the Saudi flag.
