Amanpour's Apologia

IBD ^ | August 27, 2007

Global Jihad: CNN's chief apologist for Islam, Christiane Amanpour, has gone too far this time. Not content to just whitewash jihad, she says Jews and Christians are terrorists, too.

---

According to her new three-part series, "God's Warriors," militant Islamists are really no different than right-wing Christians or Jews. So who are we in the West to judge?

Of course, it's cultural relativism — and journalism — at its worst. What's stunning is the lack of evidence Amanpour provides to support her case.

That CNN would give her six prime-time hours to peddle such tendentious trash to a public still under real threat from Islamic terror speaks volumes about the network's agenda.

The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America slammed the series as "one of the most grossly distorted programs" ever aired on mainstream American TV.

CAMERA was being kind. Amanpour's premise that Christianity and Judaism have spawned just as many terrorists as Islam is absurd on its face.

Agreed. Where are devout christians blowing themselves up? where do they talk about establishing theocracy? Where do radical priests issue their own “fatwas”?

[kitkat]

BUMP

[joonbug]

She’s an idiot. Like most of the drive by media, who cares what she says?

[Suzy Quzy]

MRS Ammanpour, Jamie Rubin, Clinton’s deputy Secy of State is a JEW....is she calling her husband and his family TERRORISTS???

[jim35]

She must have gone to the Rosie O’donnel school of journalism.

The real question is, how much of the American public will buy into this swill?

[gathersnomoss]

Bingo. Just Don’t Watch.

I would like to see the ratings for her crap, CNN has been in the tank for the last 5 years or so.

I stopped watching CNN after they aired the video of our soldiers being shot by Jihaddy’s with rifles, the Jihaddy’s produced the video at the request of CNN.

To be blunt, I cannot stand CNN.

The real question is, how much of the American public will buy into this swill?

I fear that this series, like CNN's Kent-State-is-the-moral-equivalent-of-the-gulag on the cold war, will be made available to schools to show impressionable minds for years to come. It is disgusting.

[Stepan12]

The Islamists call me a descendent of apes and pigs, eh? Take that!

[Kaslin]

Thanks for the bump

[rod1]

The good news is she was given six hours on ...CNN. Given the lousy ratings they deserbedly get, she will be lucky to beat out Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann who barely beat the ratings for viewers watching paint dry.

I’ve never seen Amanpour and Satan on screen at the same time. Hmmm... Could it be...

[gotribe]

One day her head will swing in a video, and some raghead will be chuckling allah ahkbar.

[ishabibble]

If there really is such a thing as karma, C. Amanpour’s career should be circling the drain right about now. I tried, I really did, but that hopeless mess was just too much to bear. The overwhelming factor in all of this was Christianne’s unbridled hatred of the Jews. That was beyond the pale, even for CNN.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

No wait — that is Hitlery. Amanpour is just your garden variety Demon.

[Kaslin]

She works for the Clinton News Network

'nuff said

[Enchante]

Assuming they are on good terms and may even share a lot of the same beliefs in this area (who knows, but is seems likely) she’s just espousing the typical liberal disdain for all Christians and Jews who are not fans of Hillary Clinton and Obama Hussein ..... judging from many other cases I’m guessing that he’s probably of the ultra-liberal Jewish persuasion that regards all religiosity not centered upon socialist economic and racial/gender/social change policies as neanderthal nonsense. Leftist Christians and Jews are usually very alienated from the majority of practitioners in their traditions and do make these comments likening “conservative” beliefs in Christianity and Judaism to the worst of the jihadists.

[MHGinTN]

May God forgive me, but when the jihadi scum decapitate Amanpour to show how serious they are that we leave the Middle Eaast, I will have a really difficult time feeling sorry for her fate. She is fornicating with the devil’s own (coupling her soul with the evil jihadists IS fornication in the most fundamental form) and she will be called to accounts for it, sooner or later.

[punster]

There are some individuals, in every religion, that could be considered terrorists.

Examples:

Eric Rudolph

Skinheads

Individual, who assassinated Rabin

All that is necessary, is a such a fervent belief, that objectivity is lost. In other words, the individual loses the ability to have compassion for others.
