The Simpsons cannot catch a break from Arab television.
The same Egyptian television channel that recently claimed that an episode of the popular show proved that the United States had conspired to cause the Arab Spring revolutions, is now claiming that the show was devised by Jewish lobbies and think tanks and financed by Rupert Murdoch.
The latest claims by Al-Tahrir TV aired on May 11 and were translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). During the broadcast, host Rania Badawi claimed, [The Simpsons] is a very influential TV series in the U.S. This animated series is an American production, behind which are basically Jewish lobbies. [
] It should be noted that this show is financed or produced by Fox News, behind which is Rupert Murdoch, the most influential and dangerous man in the world
when it comes to finances and media.

Hmmm. Matt Groening the creator is not Jewish, but several of the writers over the year have been. Rupert Murdoch is not Jewish.
Maybe the response to stuff like this should just be: yes, yes they are.
Hopefully, in the not too distant future, (though I have my doubts) Egyptian, Arab and Muslim societies will eventually pull their heads out of their rectums and move towards advancing their civilizations instead of remaining in Neutral/Reverse as they have been in for the last 2,000 years.
Claims that sharks off Sharem El Shiek in the Sinai were Mossad agents as well does not give any of us hope that Egypt is moving forward.
Relax, nobody in the world was safe from being mocked on The Simpsons.
Yup....might as well be compared to the MSM alphabet networks....
I can only imagine what the disciples of Mad Mo think of South Park!
DOH!
The first South Park I saw had Jesus and Santa Claus duking it out over the meaning of Christmas. Irreverent.
I have yet to meet a devout muslim that was happy about anything, and I have talked to many muslims over the years. They all (devout muslims) seem to be so down and devoid of humor, not a lifestyle I would choose for anyone.
*********************************************
Around 1979, while working full time, I also attended grad school and took one weeknight course and two Saturday courses (9 hrs. total) each semester. The Saturday courses only met every third Saturday for 8 hrs., so still = 48 hrs. each per semester just like the weeknight courses.
One Prof taught two courses: Marketing Statistics and International Marketing. He was currently working in the Marketing discipline and had many humorous stories he sprinkled into his teaching.
In the Saturday International Mktg. class there were about seven Irani students. They NEVER laughed at anything.
One Saturday during class it was announced that the Shah of Iran had been overthrown. All of the Iranian students immediately jumped to their feet and were laughing and shouting stuff in Farsi. ...The rest of the students (all adults) were shocked and taken aback by their display.
My company had a long term contract with the Shah to build a factory and teach the Iranis to build our products under a license agreement. We had probably a hundred or so employees in Iran at the time and many barely escaped alive. Some of our employees, including Mgrs. and a couple of VPs, left everything, including their shoes, at the hotels and paid huge sums of money to get drivers to take them and their wives to the airport to escape the country. The Iranians were killing or imprisoning all Westerners they could catch. .............Animals.
