Saudi Prince Walid bin Talal is one of the biggest shareholders of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, owner of rabidly anti-"Ground Zero Mosque" Fox News. He's also a Muslim. Which side of the Prince's identity will win, do you think?

"I have been associated with this mosque in New York, but frankly speaking, I have nothing to do with it," he said in an interview. "I'm not for putting that mosque there."

Prince Walid offered a two-pronged explanation for why he was opposed to the project: he said out of respect for Islam, it does not belong at the proposed location because of its proximity to a strip club; and out of deference to the families of 9/11 victims who might feel antagonized, the Islamic center should not be near ground zero.

So will the House of Wahhabi Whore Master's Prince stayout of the editorial fray, not get involved in what is "fair and balanced" or seek some way to influence the harsh rhetoric against those who were at the very least indirectly responsible for 9/11?

Prince Talil is a very pragmatic guy interested only in making money and is very careful not to allow his own politics dilute his investments. If the prince had any ideas of influencing Fox News by having them take a different political point of view, the stock goes south, he loses billion$. No. That's not his way

One final point. The guy's got his own 747 until when his special edition Airbus A-380 is ready for delivery in a few years.

The Prince hasn’t arrived until he has his A-380 covered in Diamonds.

The Saudis are very experienced at playing chess with the West.

The Saudis’ preference - trading money and secrets to an all out hot war between the West and Islamofascist terrorists.

However, the motive is the same. Muslim influence throughout the world.

We've got a major media conglomerate like Fox with a enormous ownership stake by a Saudi investor, and that media conglomerate had established itself over the years (through both Democratic and Republican administrations) as a cheerleader for U.S. military action to topple Saddam Hussein and his Ba'athist regime in Iraq.

Does anyone else see a serious problem here?

So the alphabet soups are rabidly and openly pro-Communist. Fox News is partly owned by Muslim interests.

Anybody else think Rush should go incorporated with EIB?
